Quick Take

MSR redesigns its iconic Hubba Hubba for bikepacking with a lower profile, integrated gear loft, and a new color-coded pole system that cuts setup time to under three minutes. The freestanding double-wall design handles four-season shoulder conditions while packing down to fit a standard frame bag.


What's New

The new color-coded pole system allows for sub-three-minute setup even in low light. The tent features a redesigned pole architecture that reduces packed length by 20%, making it compatible with standard frame bags and rear racks.

Key Features

  • Packed length reduced 20% for frame bag compatibility
  • Color-coded pole system for sub-3-minute setup
  • Two vestibules with 18 sq ft combined storage
  • Integrated gear loft for interior organization
  • Double-wall construction with 20D fly
  • Freestanding design works on any surface

Best For

  • Backpackers on 3-season trips who need a reliable freestanding shelter
  • Couples or partners sharing a tent on multi-night routes
  • Hikers who prioritize fast pitching in variable weather

Not Ideal For

  • Budget-conscious shoppers — there are capable options at lower price points
  • Ultralight-focused travelers counting every ounce
  • Four-season or winter camping — this is a 3-season design
