MSR redesigned their bestselling Hubba Hubba ultralight two-person tent for 2014, shaving weight to create the 3-lb, 7-oz NX. This shelter packs small without sacrificing livability—there are two large well-protected doors with roomy vestibules, vertical sides for generous head- and elbowroom, and an ideal blend of mesh and fabric so you can stargaze without living in a sandbox. The full-coverage silnylon rainfly keeps everything dry, and the single spider-hub pole makes set-up a cinch. Breaking camp is also a breeze, thanks to the duffle-style compression stuff sack. Who will like it: Space-conscious paddlers traveling solo or with a friend.
