Most ‘two-person’ tents are uncomfortably cramped, forcing you into close quarters where one person inevitably ends up pressed against condensation-soaked walls. The Hubba Hubba LT 2 refuses to play that game. Its rectangular floor plan (no foot taper whatsoever) means two wide sleeping pads sit side-by-side without overlap, and a 102cm peak height lets you both sit up for morning coffee without bumping heads. At 1.36kg minimum weight, it's light enough to split between two people without complaint, yet built with solution-dyed fabrics and strong DAC NFL poles. The micromesh inner maximises airflow to manage condensation superbly, whilst dual side-entry vestibules mean no awkward boot-storage negotiations. Set-up remains simple with a symmetrical design and hubbed pole system. The whole thing's built with PFAS-free coatings and solution-dyed fabrics that slash carbon emissions by 80% too. It’s the sort of tent that makes sharing space actually pleasant, whether you're on a multi-day backpacking trip or a wild camp.
A staple of multiple expeditions for more than 50 years, MSR gear is trusted by climbers, mountaineers, explorers and researchers in some of the highest and coldest places on earth. The brand has earned an enviable reputation for turning out reliable, durable, high-performance kit – and has come a long way since its founding by Seattle engineer and lifelong mountaineer Larry Penberthy in 1969. Back then, MSR – or Mountain Safety Research, to use its full moniker – was solely focused on improving the safety of climbing equipment. Why? Because Larry knew that better equipment meant greater adventures.
Since then, the product range has grown hugely, but the core ethos remains the same. That’s why MSR gear is characterised by its user-led design that prioritises functionality, simplicity and reliability, wherever you roam in the great outdoors – whether you’re on a weekend camping trip, or perched on a portaledge 2,000ft up one of the world’s big walls.
