Vestibule, Storage, and Ventilation
The MSR Hubba Hubba NX is equipped with two large vestibules to store your gear and keep it dry. This tent has a rainfly that allows for cross ventilation and airflow. This will also help with condensation build-up. There are two side pockets on either side of the tent for additional storage.
Setup
Setting up the MSR Hubba Hubba NX is very simple due to its color-coded hub and pole system. The tent can be set up in about 5 – 10 minutes and broken down just as quickly. One drawback is the lack of guidelines and stakes. You may want to consider purchasing some extras, just to keep the tent more secure.
Compression
This tent can be compressed down using its compression bag. It has a functional handle that can be used to squeeze down the tent further. This is great for hikers and backpackers looking for a small tent to fit into their backpacks.
Size and Headroom
This tent offers a decent amount of headroom. It can accommodate two people. It will fit two people around 5′ 8″ fairly comfortably. If you are over 6 feet tall, this size may be a bit uncomfortable, but this tent also comes in a variety of sizes that could accommodate taller people.
Adaptability
You can also use this tent with a lower footprint and lightweight option by just using the tent cover and poles. This minimalist approach is great for those looking to go light.
