WHY Choose the Hubba Nx ? Hubba Nx Tent Review. Full technical spec in the description.

Why choose the Hubba Nx tent?
Review this great all-rounder backpacking tent, the Hubba Nx: join me as we look at the technical aspects of this bestselling tent.

This is a three season tent that can rub shoulders with winter too, due to its great durability. Other tents I review here may weigh in lighter than 1.29 kilos, but the Hubba Nx can take some hammering and will certainly keep you dry and warm. The pole architecture creates a sturdy, free standing tent, with quality materials for the inner and outer tent. If you’re considering moving up from the budget range to the mid-priced range of tents, the Hubba Nx is a good shout.

The inside space is roomy for a solo tent: clear head room with inches to spare, and plenty of elbow room too. The vestibule will easily accommodate your rucksack, cooking gear and boots. The doorway features an ingenious rain gutter, which makes entry easy and makes for dry, drip-free coming and going.

MSR’s bright red corporate colour helps the tent’s bags stand out against the greens and browns of nature, and means you’ll have a hard time losing the pegs! The tent itself is great for wild camping, being camouflaged in a dark (dirty!) green which blends right in to the countryside.

Some niggles. Nine pegs come as standard, but this tent really needs ten. The pegs are all needle pegs where at least two guy lines need something more substantial. There is one mesh pocket but from my experience I need two: often only after the tent is erected do I choose which end to lay my sleepy head, and that end is where I need the pocket to keep my glasses safe.
