Hubba Hubba or Hubba? - 07/04/09 02:20 PM
Hey,
I'm looking for a good tent and I encountered the Hubba's from MSR, which looked very nice. I'll probably buy the HP version, but I'm still doubting whether I'd buy the 1 or 2 person tent.
I'll be tramping New-Zealand from north to south in half a year on my own so I don't necessarily need a 2 person tent. I saw them both up in a store and the Hubba appears a bit small to me (you probably can't prepare a meal under in shelter with your fat backpack and shoes next to it), but the Hubba Hubba seems way too big for just one person...
I was wondering what you would suggest: buying a a bit too small tent or a way too big one (the last adding 500g)?
Money isn't the point, just space and weight.
Oh, and I'm nearly 2 meters tall so I can't fit my backpack at my feet in the Hubba (darned dutchies...)
Thanks alot.
