From RockCreek:
"The MSR Hubba Hubba Fast and Light backpacking tent is one of Editor's Choice award winning tents. This is MSR's best selling 2 person, freestanding tent and there are tons of reasons why. This is a featherweight tent that only weighs 4 lbs and offers maximum space with roomy interior, large vestibules and full featured detailing that usually only comes with bigger, heavier tents. MSR made the Hubba Hubba to be incredibly versatile with 3 different set up options, 2 doors and vestibules, and 2 stay dry entrances that keep even the inside dry with the vestibules open. Use this 2 person tent as a double wall tent for full protection (with fly on), or in 2 different styles of freestanding tarp/shelter modes in conjunction with the optional footprint. A new all-in-one hub and swivel pole design is super strong and really easy to set up. Giving you the ultimate in ultra-lightweight, roomy, durable living space while you explore the backcountry."

From Ramsey Outdoor:
"This Backpacker Editors' Choice Award winner?our best-selling 2-person freestanding tent?now comes in at under 4 pounds (1.8 kg) and, thanks to an all..."

From Backcountry.com:
"The MSR sub-four-pound Hubba Hubba 2-Person 3-Season Tent gives you plenty of head room without weighing down your pack. MSR gave the Hubba Hubba a second door and two large vestibules, so you and your partner can both have space for your gear and your own exit when nature calls in the middle of the night. The Hubba Hubba Tent's sturdy, all-in-one hub-and-swivel pole system provides lots of interior room so you won't be squashed into the side of the tent while you try to sleep. Use MSR's fly and body for maximum protection against stormy weather, or match the fly with the footprint (footprint sold separately) for an ultralight solution."

"Ok, I got this tent as a prodeal working at Uncle Dan's, so I didn't pay full price. I mostly do late spring, summer, early fall camping. Sometimes I lead canoe/kayak trips in the Midwest. Anything from the Lower Wisconsin River to the Apostle Islands to Boundary Waters."

"For 3-season packing, this is a well-sewn lightweight tent, good enough for two and perfect for a solo hiker and all your gear.

At first, the pole system appears daunting, but even without the instructions, which were missing from mine, it was simple to figure out."

"This tent is great! It is light, so it's amazing on backpacking trips and it is just as good at base camp!
It is big, so two 6.5 foot men can lay side by side. This tent is a must-have."

"Okay it's orange. I know. Get past this and you discover that it's actually a very very nice piece of kit. It has a simple one pole design that fits into the inner to create the shape. It's nice and lightweight which makes it ideal for cycle touring or anyone who's looking to shave those grams out of a pack."

"Ok, this is sort of a preview review. My first impressions. Easy set up. Set it up in the backyard and then put the hose to it for about 20 minutes. No leaking anywhere. Good interior space (at least compared to my Sierra Designs Clip Flashight)."

"I bought this tent a year ago, and my wife and I have put it through the ultimate test in that year. We used it in Australia, Africa, Europe, and South America; from sea level to 5,000 meters, deserts to rainforests. It's been set up well over 100 times."

"Okay, so this is a great tent for your basic backpacking needs. It's light, and there is enough room for two 6-foot males in the tent. It's a little tight in the shoulder space, but it is 7 ft long.

All that said, the tent is not very sturdy in its pitch."
