I opted for the Naturehike Mongar 2 which is basically a clone of the Hubba Hubba but with aluminum poles, a little bigger and a little heavier. It's also mostly mesh, and better venting in the fly. At $179 CAD it was an easy call to make. Great little addition to the hammocks, gives you more room to move around during bug season as well. Good stuff!

What I also got. Came with a foot print. You can actually setup the fly before the tent with the foot print so you don't get your tent wet. I also like the all mesh. I can get warmer in my sleep system or add clothing layers but you can't do much to get cooler when its hot.

I have an older version of the 1 person with aluminum poles. It has held up well and even though I own an Xmid Pro 1, I still sometimes bring this tent due to its tiny footprint and ease of set-up. Sometimes, you just want a freestanding tent.

I have had the 2 person Hubba Hubba since 2018 and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I have had a dog sleeping under the vestibule outside the tent body roll onto the tent and completely collapse the pole structure. Push the dog off and boom it popped right back up into place. It is one of my kids favorite tents.

Yeah, the Hubba Hubba was my 1st choice of tents until I discovered the Durston X-Mid. Solid tent. I do wonder if they will switch the next generation to SilPoly instead of RipStop Nylon... as a lot of tents are making that switch.

It really is a great design. Pretty much all the side entry freestanding tents these days are a variation of it. The NatureHike Mongar 2 is basically a direct copy but with cheaper materials. Picked one up for $88 from the US site. I like how the doors work. You can choose which vestibule to use depending on where the wind blows. Pockets are great.

I got mine in 2006 on sale as a floor model from MEC, guided 2 summers worth of canoe trips sleeping in it every night. The inside got sticky after about 8 years and they replaced the fly and the bag for free, then the pole split lengthwise when my friend borrowed it at about 12 years old and they replaced the whole set of poles for free. It might not be my favourite tent now but I loved it when I was living in it and it’s the one that’s been the best investment in customer service

I have the Mongar2 which is based on this design. Much cheaper at under $200, but with a full mesh inner, I don't trust it for rainy Oregon (it rains sideways here!) other than Summer. I also have had issues with the aluminum poles bending and breaking on me. Replacement poles are not available from the manufacturer and aftermarket poles are not the same diameter for the hubs. If anyone is considering the Mongar2, it's great for summer camping or desert, but baby those poles.

For me one of the best things is that the head and foot walls are actually almost vertical, so the floor space at lets say 30cm (that would be your hight including sleepingpad/bag) high is very similar to the ground floor, which is if you are tall very nice. There is new version coming, very interested in the new features there.

I borrowed a Hubba Hubba for a 2-week backpacking trip where I couldn't use my beloved hammock rig. I think it was a slightly different model than this one though. It's a bit heavier than I would have liked but not terrible. And while I didn't get much rain on that trip it stood up to some insane winds. I actually had the choice between that and an REI Flash tent which would have been a bit lighter, but I had heard that the MSR was sturdier, and it was! ...which was good because I was borrowing it and didn't want to damage/replace it.

Yeah, Nature Hike made it better with the Mongar 2. That’s right(China). The vestibule doors are better designed and an all mesh inner. The MSR has way too much fabric for an inner in the summer. We know what that equates to. I’ve had the Mongar in windy and very rainy conditions here in the PNW for 5 years now and it has performed perfectly. I really should do my own video on it lol! 3.8 lbs on my scale without the foot print which you don’t need. Fully featured at under $200.00. If you get this tent you’ll be very pleased with your purchase! Sorry MSR but you just don’t check all the boxes on this one

Hey Devon, my most favorite tent I have ever owned. I have the 2017 version. With well over 100 nights in it, it still sets up rite and tight every time. It is my go to for any type of weather condition. I will say, I am not a fan of the new design, too much solid fabric. I also own the Elixir and this new version is just like the Elixir, with lighter weight fabric. You should do a comparison on both of them.

Not enough mesh for my liking and being too expensive for a tent with the cheaper option to mesh. But I tend to camp in warmer months as well and want ventilation. And there are better options and I’d say quite a few that just are better. But have to give credit to MSR for the design. Just in my opinion they haven’t kept up with the industry but are changing a premium.

I have this tent, and it's a very good tent, but I don't think it's the most popular tent ever. For every Hubba Hubba on the AT, I saw 10 BA Tiger Wall 2 tents. Zpacks being the most I saw over the BA TW 2, followed by Durston then Hubba Hubba, then Nemo the least. Can't knock this tent one bit, mine is 6 years old and I still care it on certain trips. Just saying I don't see it on the east coast trails enough to call it the most popular. Maybe out west it is, but even the three trails I've done there, BA and Zpacks still take the top two :). Very good video though, and I enjoyed the comparison video between the Dagger and Dragonfly Nemo tents, well worth the watch.
