The Hubba Hubba 2 NX has two doors and a peak center height of 3' 3, which is 10 inches smaller than the average height of the 229 other 2 person tents we have studied. With 29 square feet of space inside, it is significantly smaller than some other 2-person tents, and it would be quite tight for you and, another camper during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one are a nice choice for people that prefer spending lots of hours outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

A few of the great points about dome tents are, that they are generally speaking light, making them simple to carry around. In most all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In good weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is recommended.

Dome tents are easily the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in storms than other types, allowing water to roll off the slanted sides, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the rain pooling on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent will have a square footprint, sloped walls a couple of poles which cross in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is typically considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 campers.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Hubba Hubba NX can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Vestibules. Having two vestibules. Offers you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a big plus.
3. Has Gear Loft. It is good to see MSR adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
4. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is simpler to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
5. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 30D ripstop nylon DuraShield polyurethane & DWR, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 3000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.
6. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the entire body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1200mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.

CONS

1. Not roomy. With a floor area of 29 square feet, the Hubba Hubba 2 is smaller than quite a lot of the 240 other 2 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 10% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative factor for some people.
3. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately designed for the Hubba Hubba 2 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 30D ripstop nylon DuraShield polyurethane & DWR, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
4. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of things to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
