MSR Mutha Hubba 3 Person Tent -

"The MSR Mutha Hubba is a bomber tent for the spring and summer months. All the mesh makes it very comfy and easy to experience a starry night, plus that five day trail odor doesn't stick around for long inside with all the air flow. With two doors, it's super easy to get in and out of the Mutha Hubba without affecting the other people inside, and there is enough room for three people to hang out in if a storm rolls through or you didn't have time to collect enough fire wood for the night. After you set it up once, it is a breeze to set up the next thousand times, and it packs down well for being 40 square feet of useable space."

MSR Mutha Hubba 3 Person Tent Reviews:

Positive Reviews:

I bought the MSR Mutha Hubba tent from Backcountry a few years ago. The rainfly lining started to separtate and became very sicky which made the poles sticky as well. MSR replaced the rainfly but not the poles. The poles would stick to the new rainfly and the tent itself. I called Backcountry to ask if they would do anything. They told me to send the tent in. They replaced it. Backcountry has the best customer service out there. No other company comes close. I would buy my gear from this company even if I had to pay more. Their prices are great so that's not really an issue anyway. Five stars are not enough to rate Backcountry. I wish we had the option to go above and beyond that rating as they do for all of us who buy gear from them. Thank you Backcountry, you guys are awesome!

Nice tent!

We got this tent specifically for car camping for myself and my husband. It is spacious for 2, but if we wanted to put 3 in there, it would be a tight fit. We used it for a 3 week camping trip in New Mexico, on the high bluffs at 8000 feet and even with unexpected 60+ mph winds with gusts even higher, the tent bowed a bit, but held up very nicely. Not once did I think it was going to collapse on me. It seems to work well in all weather- snow, rain, wind, etc...we have tested this one thru it all, and it's held up very well. This is our 4th year with this particular tent, and other than it being a bit heavy, we are very pleased with it. It's definitely "bombproof".

THE Cat's Meow!! LOVIN MY MUTHA HUBBA

I absolutely love my MUTHA HUBBA. I have owned six different backpacking tents over the years (1 Sierra Designs, 1 Eureka, and 4 The North Face). This tent is by far the most spacious, easy to set up, and durable. I have loved my North face tents, but none of them compete with the steep walls and quick set up of the MSR Mutha Hubba. I spend most nights in Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. Because the nights can be warm and also buggy, the Mutha Hubba is great to lay under the stars without the fly on and not worry about the bugs. Putting the fly on at a moments notice, if weather erupts, is easy. This tent is worth the money!

Spacious, but hefty

I have used this tent on several backpacking trips now when splitting a tent (and its weight) with a buddy. This tent is bombproof and very spacious! The near vertical walls lend to a very roomy tent, with lots of "porch" space as well. Ventilation when buckled down is tricky. Some level of condensation is typical. Main drawback to this tent is the weight. Certainly not a tent for the ultralight crowd. With stuff sack, poles, fly, tent, and groundcloth you will easily break 8 lbs. Split between two people, that is not bad. With three it is even better. It can accomodate three, but you better be skinny and not mind some degree of closeness. For two it is ridicoulously spacious.

This is my third tent and my first superduper one with a pricetag to match. Being on the tall side and mostly adventuring solo, I wanted a tent with sufficient headroom that I was only able to find in a 3person. Of course this tent is palatial for just myself. I'm writing this review after reading the prior reviews stating the first version with the orange rainfly has had problems with the rainfly deteriorating. I have the second version tent with the YELLOW rainfly, and have spent roughly 30+ nights in it without a single problem. This tent has worked superbly for me without any of the problems associated with the orange rainfly that others have had.

I have used the Mutha 5 times now, I am so impressed with its construction, ease of use, packability and roominess. We slept 3 big guys in it and no problems. It goes from airy bug shelter to driven rain shelter in a minute, very sturdy. the 2 vestibules are big enough to stash packs, dirty boots and wet gear so they don't have to go inside the tent proper. The 2 side pockets are huge as are the 2 easy opening doors at either end. The only small con is that when its battened down with 3 people in it, the condensation builds up, so keep the flap a little open.

Solid tent with lots of space and easy set-up. Amazing materials.

We've had our MSR Mutha Hubba for 2 years now, and have pushed the limits of 3 seasons with it. It has never let us down. The set-up is simple and quick. We've had no issues with the zippers or seams wearing. It does require a little practice and some good tie down points to get the fly pitched extremely taught.We are usually 2+gear in it, but you could easily fit a third person comfortably, with gear in the vestibule. Where it excels is in providing good ventilation for sticky summer nights. Great for family camping.

It’s your call.

I own and use both the MSR Mutha Hubba and the Marmot Aeros 3P. They are both great tents, each with its own pros and cons.The Aeros 3P is the roomier of the two and definitely good for three people. Its set up, however, especially attaching the rain fly, is more complex, complicated, and time consuming.The Mutha Hubba is a snap to set up, especially in a storm, is bomb proof in high winds, but more of a deluxe two-person tent.
bruce at Moosejaw on 04/09/2011

Best tent I own.

Out of all the tents I own this tent is by the far the most versatile tent out there. It packs down to the size of a two person tent. Comfortably sleeps 3 with gear inside. One of the easiest and fastest tents to setup I have ever seen. The mesh canopy makes it great for the warmer months. Def. worth the money
John at Moosejaw on 01/26/2013

Awesome 3 Season Tent!

Ive Had my MSR Mutha Hubba for almost a year now. Love it. Always keeps me dry in the rain and or on wet mornings. Quiet zippers. Very lightweight. Perfect for the minimalist camper. And plus the rain fly is green! Lol. MSR succeeds again!

Negative Reviews:

Not the lightest or the largest

The Mutha Hubba is heavy for backpacking and tight for three adults to share.
