MSR Hubba hp tent

[willem]

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I knew the tent exists (and at this price it is a great one to have), but it is rather heavier and larger than I have in mind. I already have a Hilleberg Nammatj 3 GT for holidays with my wife, and the lighter Helsport Rondane 3 that I can borrow from my 11 year old son (he insists it is his). This would be for my sporty solo tours, without my wife and children. I try to travel ultralight on these, to extend my reach into mountains etc.

They now do green ones for the European market. I am also looking for something like this, and I have still not find my ideal tent. What I did not like about this one is that the inner is relatively narrow, that it is a pitch the inner first tent, and that the entrance was relatively low for my ancient bones. For that same reason the TN Laser is out, just as the Hilleberg Akto. Currently the most likely candidate is the rather bigger Helsport Ringstind Light 2 (inner height of 110 cm). It is on the heavy side, however. I have not yet seen the new Vaude Powerlizard UL. However, it is probably also too low and too hard to get into for me.

Thanks Willem for that. I did a quick internet search and I have now just placed an order for a green MSR hubba hp for £230.
