G'day Anthony,

Sorry mate, I wasn't aware they gave these model numbers at all, I thought they just kept changing the colour of the rainfly! What I can confirm is that the model we have in stock is the same as the model currently on show on the American MSR website here. 

G'day Janet, 

We don't stock Mont products, so it's a little hard to do a good comparison for you. I spoke to a colleague who used to work for a competitor that sold Mont products and he said that Mont tended to have a slightly thicker floor material but they were also a fair bit heavier than MSR. Mont is an Australian company but their products aren't manufactured here. Whichever way you go, you'd be getting a great tent and we'd be more than happy to help you out with getting an MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tent if that's the way you went.

G'day Clint,

The MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tent should be absolutely fine in a New Zealand November. It's a good light choice for the hike too!

G'day Luke,

All of the MSR footprints are made to fit specific models so I wouldn't want to promise the Elixir 2 footprint would work with a Hubba Hubba. 

G'day Pam,

A limited lifetime warranty means that it's covered for any manufacturing defaults for the life of the product. It doesn't cover wear and tear or any damage that a user might inflict on it. I hope this clears things up for you. 

G'day David,

Good spot. We've actually not got the NX2's yet, so all our current stock are still the MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tents. We're hoping to get the NX2 in the coming months. 

G'day Fab, 

I've just checked the MSR website, and there is indeed a Hubba Hubba NX2 Tent, which you can check out here for more information if you like. 

Hi Fab, 

Apologies, it seems that myself and my teammate Ben have a got a bit confused, to clear it up - there is only one model of this tent, and the 2 in the name does indeed just indicate that it's a 2 person tent on MSR's website.

As far as we can find, there is no updated version available. Again, so sorry we confused you! 

G'day Glen,

I've blatantly copied and pasted this from the MSR website which should help you understand what you'll get with the minimum weight of your MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tent - "At MSR, we voluntarily follow ASTM International F 1934-98 standards around these two tent industry terms. In accordance with this standard, packaged weight includes the total weight of the packaged contents off the shelf. Minimum weight, by comparison, refers to the combined weight of the tent body, rainfly (if applicable) and tent poles, but not any of the other items that may appear in the package, such as tent stakes, guy cords, stuff sack, etc." I hope this clears things up for you. 

G'day Glen,

In full, the MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tent weighs 1.72kg but in certain conditions, not all of the parts of completely necessary for the tent to work. If you leave those pieces behind, you'll only have to take 1.54kg with you. 

G'day Dan, 

I've just spoken with the MSR rep here in Australia & as soon as I said the word "Patagonia" he said that you'd be dooming yourself if you took an MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tent. He said that the best bet you'd have of surviving the winds of Patagonia would be to use a North American 4 season rated tent. The only one we stock is the Marmot Limelight 4P Hiking Tent. 

G'day Pete,

You certainly get spare parts for your MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tent, we'd just need a couple of weeks lead time to get them in for you. You can't get a thicker inner or fly to make it a season 4 though, I'm sorry to say. Lastly, as for the best way to hide food from the critters on the Overland Trail, as odd as it sounds, the people telling you to hang your food from trees are bang on the money. We'd suggest getting a dry bag to put your food in, attach it to string and hang it from a tree branch. Make sure it's low enough from the branch to stop possums from reaching it from the branch and high enough from the ground to stop other critters from getting to it. 

Howdy Pete,

You sure can, but you'd need the optional footprint to do this, and it slows down set-up time, especially if you want to do everything from completely inside the tent.

Basically, you need to pitch in the fast & light configuration with poles, footprint and fly. You then need to get into the shelter and attach the inner, given the limited space you're working in, this can feel a little cramped as you lean right over into the corners to attach the eyelets on the inner tent to the base of each pole, then you need to move around a little to get the inner pegged to the frame.

It probably sounds more difficult than it actually is, with one or two trial runs you'll find it pretty easy.

G'day Bob,

You can find the footprint for the MSR Hubba Hubba NX Hiking Tent which is available separately here.

What do you mean exactly by import version?

G'day Tracey,

That's a great question. I can't be 100% sure, but this isn't something we've been provided feedback on. MSR is a very reputable brand with hundreds of these models being sold, so the fact that we haven't heard anything would suggest that you'd be okay.

G'day Kylie,

The 'NX' is the current model MSR Hubba Hubba. I've just had a look at REI's website here and the weight specification on both minimum and packaged weight seem to match up. Can you help me out by directing me to what you are looking at so I can clarify?

Hi Kylie,

No worries! Yes - 1.7kg is very respectable weight if being carried by 1 person. That's the beauty of the high-end MSR tent. Most of the mid-range tents are around that range of 1.7kg for their 1p tents. As a result, for 1.7kg, you'll still get the benefit of a high-quality tent along with the additional space and convenience.

Sure would Rebecca, the Hubba Hubba is a tried and proven tent for just about any location and season in Australia. It is important to remember though that everything has its limits, which means that should you experience unseasonal extreme cold conditions or heavy snow, you can still use the Hubba Hubba, but need to make some considerations or adjustments in line with the weather. This may mean a little extra warmth in your sleeping arrangements, or regular checks on snow levels to ensure your tent does not collapse under the weight. These are extreme conditions though and are just something to be aware of/prepared for, it's probably not worth carrying a heavy 4 season tent on the off chance that you get one or two nights of unseasonal weather.

G'day Adam,

The bag isn't waterproof, no. You could always pop it in a Sea to Summit dry bag if you're wanting to protect your other gear from a wet tent or, instead, bag those other dry items seperately. It's a good idea to let a wet tent breathe, so you're better off protecting those other items.

Cheers, Paul

G'day Bob, 

I've just had a look at the display model in store, and the MSR Hubba Hubba NX definitely has fully taped seams on both the inner tent and fly.
