Re: Hubba NX Fast and Light
The fast and light body weighs 8oz for the Hubba NX, that has to be a significant savings.
Re: Hubba NX Fast and Light
Was thinking the same. I'm just too lazy to dig out my actual Hubba tent body to throw on the scale for a weight comparison. :)
The bathtub style footprint definitely answers a lot of the issues with the traditional flat footprint.
Re: Hubba NX Fast and Light
Absolutely, but, would one miss the “security” of the sealed up full body tent?
Re: Hubba NX Fast and Light
Put it this way, it wouldn't be worth a half pound savings. Haha.
All it would take is a single mouse to invade my sleeping quarters.....:lol:
Re: Hubba NX Fast and Light
I have a new hubba nx I just got and havent used yet. Looking forward to it this year
Re: Hubba NX Fast and Light
Not an MSR but I’ve got the Stone Glacier tent and quite often use just the fly with the tub footprint. I really enjoy using it this way. The extra space gained in the pack and tent is great. Use it well into sept sheep hunting up north and it sheds weather decently well. I think problems may arise if the MSR’s fly doesn’t hug the ground super well.

Wind and water issue?

Be curious to hear your thoughts after some field use.
There's a lot of space for 1 guy and gear. The narrow profile makes the pole structure that much stronger too, IMO. Their tough little tents.
I did put a small slice in my floor, via sharp rock, but a little dab of Shoe Goo made it better than new. Definitely recommend an HD garbage bag or similar for a ground sheet, but that's no different than any other mountain tent.
Strictly cosmetic, but I like the burgundy vestibule on the new models.
