The Hubba Fast and Light Tent (1 person) by MSR is the ultimate freestanding solo tent. The Hubba weighs less than 3 pounds (1.3kg) and has been given a new, all-in-one hub-and-swivel pole design that is stronger than ever and still simple to use.
The Hubba can also be used as a double wall tent for full protection or in 2 freestanding tarp-shelter modes when used with the optional footprint. The unique pole configuration provides maximum interior space, with a stay dry entrance and large vestibule for gear storage and food prep.

Comments about MSR Hubba Fast & Light Tent (1 Person):
I have used this tent on 2 trips since purchasing it about a month ago and it is my first solo tent. The weight (or lack thereof) is amazing as is the ease and speed of set up by yourself. All evenings thus far have been in the 40s overnight and one of which I did have some MINIMAL condensation inside the rain fly...so little I debated about even mentioning it in this review. We had a driving rainstorm for 6 hours in the BWCA and my gear stayed dry inside this tent, even with water pooling around the tent the last few hours. VERY impressed. I was able to easily store my portage pack, rubber boots, and other miscellaneous dry bags under the roomy vestibule. There are 2 "wish list" improvements on this model that I have; one would be to offer a gear loft for it (attachments are there) and the other would be to lengthen the vestibule about 2" so it reaches the ground tighter to prevent 'rain splash' a bit better. Overall though, I am extremely happy with this tent and footprint purchase.

Comments about MSR Hubba Fast & Light Tent (1 Person):
This is a very well designed tent, it has two small pockets on the inside. I have stayed in it in the rain and when it was dry outside. The tent is narrow so if your claustrophobic this may not be the best tent for you, but it has a roomy vestibule. But with that out of the way it delivers what it promises, Light weight, east set up, mild condensation (show me a tent that has none), and you can with some practice pack it down very small.

Comments about MSR Hubba Fast & Light Tent (1 Person):
The fast easy set up, compact size and super light weight make it ideal for back country camping.
The fly has a tendancy to get caught in the zipper
