WIRED Very lightweight. Typical solid MSR build quality. Freestanding design is secure in strong winds. TIRED Finicky zipper. Poor stash pocket placement. Tent poles require more force than I'd like to put together, take apart.
. MSR did this without reducing its 29 square feet of floor space inside, and new poles make the walls stand more vertically, making it feel roomier inside. The Copper Spur measures the same, and the Telos is nearly the same, at 28 square feet.
Freestanding tents don't need to be staked out to set up fully, and they tend to withstand high winds better than non-freestanding or semi-freestanding . That came in handy in the desert, where at times the concrete-like desert floor wouldn't let me drive even a titanium nail peg into the earth. For high winds, I'd pull each guyline out and drop a heavy rock on it, but on calmer nights I just threw my gear in the tent to weigh it down and went to sleep.
Some strong gusts battered the Hubba Hubba NX around in the open desert at night, as the cool breezes rolled down the Chisos Mountains at dusk each night and sent a chill over the desert floor where I made camp most nights. I wasn't able to find out the wind speed—to my extreme delight, there was no cell signal on the Dodson Trail—but the tent held solidly with barely a ripple all night long.
Most people only need a three-season tent, which is much cheaper and lighter than a four-season one, which is really more for ultra-low temperatures, very high winds, and snow. My coldest night in the three-season MSR was in the low 40s Farenheit, and using a 20-degree Marmot sleeping bag atop a closed-cell foam sleeping pad, I had no complaints. It has a pop-out vent that you can close or keep open.
