The MSR Hubba Tour 3 offers lots of living space and storage space, as it features a large extended porch, making it a great tent for cycle touring, extended backpacking trips or those camping with their dog. There's loads of space up front, with a floored area to help keep your gear dry. The large porch also offers easy transition between the porch and sleeping area.
There are two entrances, for added convenience, with one large door direct into the sleeping area and the other from the vestibule. This layout gives occupants their own access, meaning no more climbing over each other in the night to go to the loo.
The 'Exoskeleton' poles means that the tent not only pitches inner and outer at the same time, it also gives excellent stability and an easy set up. Inside the sleeping area there's also lots of storage options with pockets, hanging loops and gear loft pockets. Ideal for keeping your stuff organised.
The MSR Hubba Tour 3 is a great option for bike packing tours and big backpacking adventures, with acres of space for very little weight and a small pack size and ideal for a couple after lots of living space or a group of 3 to really make things light!

Top tips to make the right choice:Key questions to ask yourself before tent shopping are: Where am I going? When am I going? What terrain will I need to pitch on?
A footprint or groundsheet protector is an excellent investment – moles have no idea how much financial trauma they cause when trying to surface under a brand new tent!
If you are a super tidy tent person and have a tent partner who, er….isn’t; save yourself hours of torment by gifting them a gear loft or tent tidy so you don’t lose valuable life minutes while they ratch around for their stuff.
Remember to place your shockcorded poles together rather than allow them to snap together this reduces fracturing at the ends over time.
A tarp pitched over the front of your tent can make a great gear garage so you have more space inside. It can also double up as an all weather kitchen.
ALWAYS keep your inner doors zipped up while pitching a geodesic tent in a high wind. If it is not pegged down it could go up, up, up and far away…..
