Compare these tents

“I want a bigger two person tent for Kamper & I. I'm down to these two.

MSR HUBBA HUBBA -http://www.msrcorp.com/tents/hubbahubba.asp
or

Big Agnes Seedhouse -
http://www.bigagnes.com/str_tents.php?id=sh2slI'm leaning towards the Hubba Hubba because of the two entrances (sweet)
and the higher inside clearance.
fresh opinions welcome”

“How stable is the single pole in the wind?”

“Did you look at the Missing Link at all? It's lighter, bigger and higher. Of the two you have chosen the Hubba Hubba would be my choice.”

“PhantomSoul, I haven't thought of that, but we hardly ever run into seriously high winds, lucky I guess.

I looked at the Missing Link, but I like the mesh that the two I have listed. I should have mentioned that. Seriously Tango, read my mind ;~) . It gets damn buggy down here in TN. For fall trips we'll just tarp it. [i]”

“I had the exact big agnes superlight 2 person tent. Nice tent, but i started to get tinny holes in the netting, and after ants was able to crawl through I returned it. It's a really light 2 person tent though.

I really dont' care if I have 2 entrances or one, but the side entrance is so much nicer then a front entrance.

I think the hubba hubba is a little heavy so I still would choose the Big agnes.

If weight isn't an issue I would choose the hubba hubba.

Oh the big Agnes stood through real heavy grayson highland winds without a problem.

BTW: I exchanged the big agnes for the black diamond lighthouse. Sweet!!!

“Ruby's Big Agnis looked super sweet. I lust for her gear.”

“I betcha you do Nigal, I betcha!! LOL
Yeah, her one person tent is pretty big. My canyonland I have is larger too, and not too heavy. Hubba, hubba is too heavy for me”

“Thanks Gem. Weight isn't an issue. I really can't tell the difference between a pound or two on my back. We pack really light anyhoo. I think Kampers weight is usually around 15-20 lbs for 2-3 days out. Mine is 5-10 lbs heavier.
With two of us, getting up in the middle of the night to answer the call, or just settling in for the night I like the idea of a side entrance.”

“Weight really does go out the window when you're sharing a tent anyhow because you can split the weight between the two of you.”

“yeah, I carry the tent. She carries the food, first aid, cookware & stove, sleeping bags and pads, etc. Works out well IMO.”

“For about $80 you could have this:

Lightweight three-season backpacking tent

It has 2 huge vestibules also. 2 zip entrances.

You have to get the older model (yellow) the green (newer) is heavier.
