Review on HUBBA SOLO BACKPACKING TENT GREEN by Danuta Danek (Taroci ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

I took it in the Sportmarathon, I wanted to reduce the weight of the tent to the maximum, on the whole I was directly pleased - there is a lot of space for one person, a lot of little things can be laid out on the sides, you can sit, I can’t reach the ceiling with the top of my head (height 178 cm), especially important when outside what hour it rains, and just going to bed, or getting up. Holds the wind well. We stood not far from the pass, at 3000m, a thunderstorm began at night, it rained all day long, it rained, snow crumbs, hail the size of large peas, all this was accompanied by a strong wind, with gusts of about 20 m / s, plus I didn’t set it very well, it turned out across the wind and at times I thought blow away, the wall was bent, but the structure survived. A fly in the ointment: already in the campaign it turned out that the elastic turned into a stretching rope - it dried up into trash. Since 2022, the tent has been stored on an insulated but unheated loggia (t +5 - +25), lay unclaimed until this year, Normal Skif 2-seater used more (since 2022). Everything is OK with Normal, although it was unpacked once a year or two. Perhaps it is necessary to get it at least once a year, and not once every five. Although it is still not very clear what exactly led to the drying up, there were no extreme drops, the air on the loggia is not much drier than in the apartment, it is packed loosely, the covers are ajar. In the reviews for the double, they also write about this problem As a result, the tent is super, the only thing I regret is that I had to take a 2-person tent, because. as a result, it is needed more often, more space, and the weight is not much more (1.72 kg) than that of a single (1.29 kg), and much less than the Normal (about 3 kg), the price was almost the same in 2022 (about 20k), I wouldn’t take it for today’s price, it’s simply insane, given that the tent is not extreme, and there are already better options on the market.

Pros
  • Super light, quick to install, fairly wind resistant, can sit without resting your head on the ceiling
Cons
  • The price, the gum has dried up, the floor is very thin, I took an additional floor for this tent, which also has the price of MSR) The awning does not reach the ground, apparently it was designed for ventilation, the wind does not walk inside; but I would like to lower the vestibule to the ground in order to cover what lies there
