Is this the real tent?
« on: 29 June, 2011, 05:00:29 pm »
Hello all

Looking for a tent. I'm confused by the name of this one. Is it a normal MSR Mutha Hubba do you think? If so it seems quite a bargain...

The specs certainly look identical to the Mutha Hubba specs on MSR's site. Then there is the HP, is that different???

Sigh.

That's a normal Mutha Hubba.

The HP has better protection against the elements and is lighter (through use of higher quality/lighter fabrics).

I believe the HP versions are designed for Northern European camping.

a great mind thinks alike

non-HP has an almost entirely mesh inner, whilst HP just has a few mesh panels.

The mesh inner is cooler/colder, and can let drips of condensation from the outer through.
