MSR Hubba/Hubba HP Footprint

Hiking & Camping > Shelters & TentsRated: ***** by 6 reviews.

USOutdoor.com

To provide protection and water resistance with their tent series, MSR offers their Hubba Tent Footprint as an option with their MSR Hubba Tent. Designed to increase floor durability, the MSR Hubba Tent Footprint is made from water-resistant polyester taffeta, protecting your tent from sharp objects and minimizing wear and tear on your tent. Reinforced grommets along the sides allow you to easily use the ground cloth as a tarp, and the MSR Footprint clips onto the tent's poles to keep it in place. Made with the same painstaking attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship as their line of tents, it's an accessory that's almost a necessity.

Features:

  • Easy to use - just lay it under your tent before staking the tent down. Pull the tent's stake loops through the footprint’s webbing loops. Stake down tent to secure.
  • Lightweight, breathable MicroMesh™ storage bag.
  • Waterproof and custom fit to protect your MSR tent floor from abrasion, punctures and other ground hazards.

ProLite Gear

This footprint is sized to fit the floor of your MSR® Hubba tent. It attaches to the pole ends and acts as an extra floor to protect the sewn-in floor from wear and tear. It’s a great way to prolong the life of your tent floor, and is cut a bit smaller than the tent's floor so that rainwater doesn't catch in the footprint and pool under the tent. The perimeter is cut with a slight catenary curve to ensure a smooth and taut fit.

MSR Hubba Footprint

Rating:****

I started my cross-country bicycle trip with a plastic ground sheet but this fitted MSR footprint reduced weight and set-up/ take-down time. On dewy grass and during all night thunder storms it kept the floor drier, because it stayed anchored precisely inside the tent's perimeter.
I avoided rough surfaces where I'd have just thrown plastic, chose tent sights carefully and slept better.
This trip's over and the footprint still looks good.

"SICK!"

Rating:*****
Great quality footprint from a great company. MSR worked out some kinks with the 2009 edition of the Hubba tent and I couldn't be happier! Highly Recommended!!

Save the cash

Stayed at a couple campsites last year while hiking and didn't want to worry about the wood chips poking through my tent since I paid good money for it. The footprint is a let down though - for one thing, it's not waterproof just water resistant. Also, it fits loosely underneath the tent but MSR told me that the size is intended like that (I called them to ensure that my 06 tent is the same dimensions as the 08 footprint). At the end of the day, I may pack it just in case but I think all it will do is serve as a $40 pillow at night.I gave it 3 stars because maybe I didn't properly understand the purposes of the footprint. If the only point is to make the bottom of the tent more durable, you think they would just make the tent bottom stronger to begin with but maybe that's what makes it lightweight. 5 stars to the tent at least.
