MSR Hubba Hubba LT 2 review

The Hubba Hubba LT 2 is MSR's lighter take on its long-running 2-person tent, and its key selling point is shape. MSR lists a 32 square foot floor with no taper, built for modern rectangular sleeping pads, under a 40 inch peak. A single DAC NFL pole and a symmetrical layout make setup quick, which MSR points out matters most in a sudden storm. The tent body is mostly solution-dyed micromesh for airflow, and the doors zip closed to a single point so you can find the opening in the dark. Two vestibule doors with StayDry rain gutters and kickstand vents give 16 square feet of covered storage. Pockets have cable ports for headphones and charging cords, and a clothesline and eight Mini Groundhog stakes are included. Minimum weight is 3 lb, packaged weight 3 lb 6 oz, and it packs to 20 by 5.5 inches. The fly's 1200 mm rating trails the Nemo and Big Agnes tents, and its peak is lower than the Dagger's.
