MSR Mutha 3 Person Hubba NX Dome Tent Review

The Mutha 3 Hubba NX has two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 8, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 158 other 3 person tents we have studied. With 39 square feet of space inside, it is considerably smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it would be quite cramped for you and, up to two other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is recommended for use in, smaller tents similar to this one often can make a great choice for people that welcome spending lots of hours outside their tent getting some air.

A few of the fantastic points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part light, making them easy to carry around. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very easy to set up. In good weather, you can do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the different types of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the rain to pool on the roof. The most basic dome tent should have a square floor, slanted sides two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is usually thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

Below you can browse a list of the tent's pros and cons.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Mutha 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. Vestibule. Having one vestibule. Affords you somewhere to store shoes and other things that can get dirty, muddy, this is a huge 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, 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 very good for most circumstances.

CONS

1. Not spacious. With a floor area of 39 square feet, the Mutha 3 is smaller than quite a lot of the 163 other 3 person tents we have looked at.
2. Lacking in Headroom. With 7% less headroom than similar sized tents, one can see how this could be a negative thing for some people.
3. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy downpours.
4. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one sold separately designed for the Mutha 3 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 30D ripstop nylon Durashield, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
5. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have lots of attributes to be positive about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.

MSR's Mutha 3 Hubba NX tent is good for backpacking. Here are a few other cool things not noted above which, were noticed and liked, while reviewing the model: Two large StayDry doors with built-in rain gutters, Adjustable rainfly (roll-up vestibule & stargazer view) and Optimized symmetrical geometry and non-tapered floor.

Value for money: When thinking about value for your dollar, this tent is the same as the average cost of all the one hundred and fifty-eight, three-person tents we have studied, this alone does not make it good value for money. We also need to think about other things in-depth, as we do with every tent.

When we calculate the overall score of a tent, we examine loads of areas, finding areas where the tent could exceed other near-identical tents and where it is not quite as good.
