Title: MSR Tent question?
Post by: BKMFR on August 11, 2020, 06:16:01 PM: Anyone using an MSR Hubba Hubba NX2 tent... any thoughts, like-dislike?
Thanks so much!

MSR is good quality. Haven't had any issues with it.

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 is almost a half pound lighter 2 inches wider and 6 inches longer and similar money

Agreed. In addition to the Hubba Hubba, I also have the Big Agnes UL3 and they are light and roomy. Very nice tents.

At 6'2", the hubba series tents have all been too small for me. I use a Slingfin Crossbow 2 (OEM version of the Stone Glacier 2p tents) when the trip requires a tent. Most of the time for hunting I use a slingfin tarp shelter.
