NEW Hubba™ LT Backpacking Tent

Not widely available as yet.

It will be released first in US / US & PacRim.

I LIKE the increased amount of mesh.

But certainly I’d NEVER buy a tent this white. It would be filthy in no time.

I’ve been a Hubba guy for decades. Purchasing perhaps 6 — so far — using the old parts to put together additional Franken-tents.

The current zipper system is a bit awkward, BUT I wouldn’t want them to change. It seems durable enough, for me.

The BIG problem with Hubba tents is the pole. It will be the first thing to break and it’s difficult to repair without extra parts.

MSR started to switch to Easton Syclones (below) — but that system was no more durable. And splintered.

My newest is a European Hubba NX with the stealth camping green fly and original red poles. I trust the old poles slightly more.

Without the fly, the tent is much cheerier.

If you MIGHT be interested in the LT, Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.


This was the spot, camping on the Rhine in the rain, when my Hubba tent pole snapped for no particular reason. I’d not dropped nor stepped on it.

The 4th Hubba pole to break on me in the wild.

I somehow stayed fairly dry with that broken tent pole.

  1. poles are troublesome! But MSR replaced my snapped pole asap. GREAT TENT!!! Gave my old Hubba to my son. This new version has some nice enhancements, like much better zipper placement. Been through all kinds of nasty weather in this tent and it NEVER lets me down.
