The MSR Hoop is a very spacious 2 person tent with 2 doors and 2 vestibules. It has more than enough room for 2 campers. The shockcorded DAC aluminum frame is sturdy, light and provides fairly straight side walls to give the Hoops' occupants unsurpassed room. 2 doors and 2 vestibules make it easy to get in or out and still have room outside the tent to stow gear. The full coverage Sil/Nylon fly is tough, light and reliable. Vestibules on either side of the tent provide extra room if needed. The Hoop was designed with larger backpackers in mind so it will easily fit 2 full size Therm-A-Rest mattresses or their equivalent. And if you are tall you'll fit into the Hoop too, because it's 8 feet long.

Pretty good.....but.....
I have been using a MSR Hubba for a year and got spoiled with it's super easy, super fast free standing set up and take down.
I got the HOOP for the few times I need more room, either for myself, or an extra person. And also thought it might be better in snow/colder weather.
I am used to the free standing Hubba and sort-of wish the HOOP had a free standing pole set up like the Hubba & HubbaHubba's. I got the HOOP over HubbaHubba for the extra room and snow/colder weather.
I have used the Hubba in snow and 29-30 degree weather this year 1/1/13 and it was fine. But more room for bulkier winter gear I think will be a bit nicer.
I have yet to use the the HOOP, other than in my backyard once. So I am not yet used to it. The quaility is great, the size is great, the weight is fine for my type of backppacking and biking.
I am thinking of building my own single free standing tent poles for this tent.

this is huge!
First off, I'll preface this by saying that I have not used the tent in winter conditions yet. That is no snow or high winds. However, on recent trip to AK it rained for 10 out of the 14 days we were there, result, no water even though I did not seam seal it myself before using it. The best thing about this tent is you can at least kneel in it, even if you're a giant, and damn near stand in it if you're a midget, which is pretty awesome in a backpacking tent. If I was going to use something for climbing Denali or a long winter trek, scratch this tent. However, for a large 3 person tent+hunting gear this thing is awesome. The only real drawback I saw is that both vestibules are small.
Buy it and love it!!
I bought this tent last year as a replacement to my beloved Sierra Designs. I am 6'1" and my brother in law is 6'5" and we both fit nicely without feeling crowded. Love the pockets inside, the dual entry is a must, and the vestibules offer a decent amount of storage.Though the weight of the tent is a little high for extended backpacking for most people, I found it to be a light alternative to the options for two large people to sleep comfortably. I have been using the tent for a year now and have had no problems. The ground cloth is highly recommended; as the floor material is thin and I could see it wearing easily (the sacrifice for light weight equipment).
This is the 1st tent I've purchased. Went camping for 2 nights in Red River Gorge. Rained on me 2 nights, and I stayed dry both nights. Very easy to setup, and supper light. I was concerned that the my sleeping bag would absorb moisture from touching the sides, but the ventilation is terrific, no moisture formed inside the tent, just on the fly. It does not touch the tent anywhere. Love this tent!
this is the best tent I've ever owned.
This tent is great, its super light and only takes a few minutes to set up. It fits into a small sea to summit compression bag. It stays dry inside the tent even in heavy rain and there is plenty of room inside for gear. The gear lofts inside are great for smaller stuff. Highly recommend buying this tent!
Best tent
Awesome. Have been using it for a year now. Use as a 4 season but works really well as a 3 season. Super easy and quick setup. Very spacious inside. I'm 6'4 and I got me and a friend comfortably!
As expected
Goes up quick, almost intuitive, and easy to reverse the process and packs away to almost nothing
awesome
Love it!!!!
