Hubba Hubba V8, 1 person

Redesigned and lighter than ever, the 3-season Hubba Hubba backpacking tent is a best seller for a reason. This solo shelter is the perfect balance of weight, comfort and livability.

The Inside: The true rectangular floor (no foot taper) is large enough for all your gear, and 37 inches (0.94 m) of headroom lets you sit up comfortably. The tent body is a blend of mesh and solid fabric that provides airflow, privacy and weather protection. The no-curve tent door features zippers that are easy to use with one hand. It also zips closed to a single point so you always know where to open the door, even in the dark. New tech-friendly pockets feature cable ports at the corners for headphone and charging cords. Overhead gear loft pockets are perfect for headlamps, sunglasses and other quick-access items.

The Outside: The symmetrical tent design means you can set up the Hubba in a flash, particularly useful in those unexpected rainstorms. Virtually unbreakable Easton® Syclone™ poles, a DuraShield™ waterproof coating and taped seams keep the Hubba stable and dry so you can ride out the weather in comfort. The rainfly features a large vestibule for storing any gear you don’t want inside. The easy in-and-out vestibule door has a StayDry™ rain gutter to keep running water off you and your gear, and a kickstand vent maximize airflow.

The Bottom Line: The Hubba Hubba 1 will be the only tent you want on all your solo 3-season backpacking adventures thanks to its legendary lightweight livability.
