Mutha Hubba > MSR
The Mutha Hubba goes up in a flash, thanks to a hub-design pole system. Two additional poles create wider interior space and roominess. It is one of the lighter tents in the review, and gives up a bit of durability in the bargain. The MH is a very pleasant tent to be stuck in-good vestibule space, shoulder room, almost 4 feet of head height, and a sense of airiness. The MSR team is solid when it comes to thoughtful accessories like storage pockets, reflective cording, and lightweight stakes. The fly can also be used as a tarp with the optional footprint.

| I just hate this type of review. Very expensive tents when a 50 dollar coleman will serve just as well. So what if it wears out after a few seasons..but a new one! For a bit better tent you can step up to 150 bucks. 500 bucks for a tent is just robbery!! |

| Wow John, I couldn't disagree more. Get caught in a major wind and rain storm or lug that tub of a tent you bought for 50 bucks across a 2500 yard portage and believe me you'll be happy to part with the extra 3 hundred bucks. I bought a Mutha Hubba and spent 16 days in Algonquin in late August. Fantastic tent, plenty of room for me and the missus and we were dry in the worst kind of weather (our paddling mates couldn't say the same.) Trust me, you get what you pay for. And besides isn't it time to stop living in a throwaway culture. The world doesn't need more land fill courtesy of Coleman. |
