MSR Mutha Hubba NX Tent

While it is rated for three people, the 41.5 square feet of floor space is best suited for three standard sleeping pads. If you are using wider, insulated pads or prefer extra elbow room, it will feel cozy, though the vertical walls do help the interior feel much larger than other tents in this weight class.

While it is rated for three people, it is a snug fit. It works perfectly for two adults with extra gear space or three close friends, but if you prefer extra elbow room, you might find it tight.

No, the MSR Mutha Hubba NX does not include a footprint. We recommend purchasing one separately to protect the floor fabric from abrasion and moisture, especially if you plan on camping on rocky or rough terrain.

Yes, it is a reliable 3-season shelter. The 20D ripstop nylon rainfly features a 1200mm Durashield polyurethane and silicone coating, which provides solid protection against standard rainstorms, while the DAC FeatherLite NSL aluminum poles offer excellent structural stability in moderate winds.

The packed weight is 4.81 lbs. This makes it quite lightweight for a 3-person shelter, especially considering it includes two vestibules and a freestanding design, making it a great option for backpacking trips where weight distribution among group members is possible.

The vertical walls create a much more open, livable interior compared to tents with sloped sides. This design prevents the tent fabric from pressing against your head and shoulders, making the space feel significantly larger when you are sitting up inside.

The dual vestibules provide a good amount of protected storage space for boots and packs. However, if all three occupants have large, fully loaded expedition packs, you may find the space tight, so it is best to keep your gear organized efficiently.

With a packed weight of 4.81 lbs, it is quite light for a three-person shelter. If you split the weight of the poles, rainfly, and tent body between three hikers, it becomes an exceptionally efficient option for long-distance trips.
