MSR Hubba Hubba NX

At 3.5 pounds, the MSR Hubba Hubba NX is the two-person tent that backpackers have trusted since 2003. Its freestanding design lets you pitch on rock, snow, or hard-packed dirt, and two doors with vestibules offer ample storage. The Easton Syclone poles flex rather than snap in high winds—a detail you appreciate above treeline. It’s 20% lighter than the average two-person tent, and it outperforms #4 in weather resistance, proven by surviving 40 mph gusts during testing. Enough headroom to sit and play cards in a storm seals the deal.
