Ridge tent MSR Hubba Hubba Bikepack 1 person, hard frame, 0.93 kg, Green/Red/White

The MSR Hubba Hubba Bikepack is a one-person ridge tent engineered for cyclists who ride on mixed surfaces. It combines a true rectangular floor with 38 in (0.97 m) of headroom to provide usable interior space for a sleeper and gear. The tent body mixes mesh and solid panels for ventilation, privacy and weather protection, while a full-coverage rainfly with taped seams and waterproof coating helps keep the interior dry. Short, strong DAC poles fold compactly for transport on handlebars or in boat storage, and the included waterproof handlebar bag attaches to flat or drop bars and can be spaced away from the bars to preserve handlebar space.

Advantages

The Hubba Hubba Bikepack offers a balance of lightweight packability and roomy interior volume. Its rectangular floor maximizes usable sleeping and storage space, and tech-friendly pockets with cable ports let you charge devices inside the tent. Fast setup is supported by a symmetrical, hub-and-pole system and shorter pole segments that stow neatly on handlebars or in a pannier. A large vestibule with a StayDry™ rain gutter protects stored cycling gear, while interior and exterior clotheslines plus oversized pockets simplify drying and organising damp items.

Suitable for

• Bikepackers and cycle tourists riding mixed terrain
• Solo campers who prioritise lightweight, compact shelter
• Kayak campers needing shorter poles for easier boat storage
• Anyone who needs a tent that fits in a pannier, frame bag or backpack

When it may not be suitable

This one-person ridge tent is not intended for group camping or users who need room for more than one sleeper. Very tall users who require more than 38 in (0.97 m) of headroom or a significantly wider sleeping area may find the interior limiting. The tent’s lightweight construction is aimed at bikepacking rather than extended basecamp use in extreme conditions.

How to use

Select a level, debris-free site and orient the rectangular floor to suit your gear layout. Assemble the hub-and-pole system and insert the shorter DAC pole segments, then raise the tent body and stake it out according to site conditions. Attach the rainfly and tension the guy lines for weather protection; use the vestibule to store wet or dirty cycling gear. Route charging cords through the cable ports into the tech pockets if you need to charge devices overnight. Use interior and exterior clotheslines to dry damp clothing or kit, and pack the tent back into its ultracompact stuff sack for transport on handlebars, in a pannier, frame bag or backpack.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: single-person bikepacking and lightweight camping
• Space needs: check 76 × 216 cm sleeping area and 0.97 m headroom
• Transport and storage: folded pole length ~30 cm and packed volume for handlebar bag, pannier or frame bag
• Weather expectations: waterproof coating and taped seams provide good rain protection but consider more robust shelters for prolonged severe weather
• Handlebar compatibility: bag fits flat and drop bars; spacers included to keep bag off bars

Usage recommendations

For quicker setups during changing weather, keep the rainfly accessible during breaks and practice folding the short DAC poles to fit them onto your handlebars or into your chosen bikepacking storage before heading out on route.
