WHAT'S THE BEST TWO-PERSON TENT?

MSR Hubba Hubba

"This two-person tent strikes the finest balance we've seen yet between minimizing weight and maximizing space. Thanks to an innovative pole configuration that spreads the walls and lifts the ceiling, its 30-square-foot interior is surprisingly roomy; our 6'6" executive editor didn't touch at either end or bump into his tentmate while sleeping or sitting up. And the story gets better: The Hubba Hubba is freestanding and has two doors-both features a rarity in this weight class. The twin vestibules accommodate packs, boots, and careful cooking, and rain doesn't drip inside the tent when you open the doors. With an all-mesh canopy, its ventilation is excellent; we saw no condensation through New Zealand soakers."  Backpacker Magazine

"When solo hiking, or going “solo together” with companions who prefer to tent alone, I found the Hubba proved to be almost perfect: quick to set up, free standing, big interior space, and high headroom, but lightweight. Despite coming in at under 3 pounds, the Hubba is no cream puff, and when staked out is incredibly stable in windy conditions. The Hubba kept me bone dry in record setting rain on the Chilkoot Pass trail last summer, but it’s basically all mesh under the fly and so as summer cranks in to autumn it can get breezy and chilly at night. That’s where the new Hubba HP comes in: this is basically the same tent as the Hubba but with fabric instead of mesh, so it can be zipped up in cold conditions. The HP has all the stellar qualities of the original Hubba but it definitely extends the utility of this tent by several months. Unbelievably, the HP is actually an ounce or two lighter than the Hubba. For serious fast and light solo backcountry travelers, these tents are the current gold standard."  Staff Favorite  GreatOutdoors.com

 

 

THE BEST HARNESS
Arc'teryx S240 "This harness is probably worth the money simply based on the technology it uses as well as the comfort it provides, and most importantly, how far out of the box it is. That said, while I doubt these harnesses will be omnipresent at the crags in the near future due to their price, I do think that they will become the gold standard in harness construction- the comfort and quality of manufacture alone sets a very high bar for others to aspire to."  RockClimbing.com
