I also love my MSR hubba hubba nx, which is the regular 2-person version of this tent here. I think it's worth mentioning that with these MSR tents, the inner tent needs to be pitched first before adding the flysheet. This can be annoying in heavy rain. To prevent the tent from flooding when it rains, you can set up the poles with a groundsheet, then attach the flysheet and finally go into the tent to hang the inner tent. Sounds complicated (and it is), but it works.
Hi! Thank you for your comment! I have seen a video of someone do what I think you are describing, but it looked complicated indeed 😅 Do you have any tips on getting the wrinkles out of the tent after pitching perhaps? I still haven't managed to pitch it nice and wrinkle free.
I carry my old Hubba Hubba and a sleeping bag in a single dry bag on a front cargo rack. Rock solid. The bar mounts on this new bikepacking tent is badly designed. Better to use a solid handlebar cradle to carry your tent.
I think I will just test it with the bar mounts, just to see how bad it is. But that first shake test didn’t look promising 😅 I’d agree with you that a cradle would be rock solid. I have one, so that’s my fallback 🤷♂️
BTW George, got any tips for pitching the tent? When I pitched it there were still a lot of creases in the tent. Should I try to get those out somehow?
Nice tent! I'm quite happy with my Naturehike Cloud Up 2 for the time being, even though tte poles is a bit long. I think I will use my new bivy in "racing events", or else stay in hotels/airbnb.
I have an S size bike and have always struggled with the tent poles of the NatureHike. Other than that, the tent opening and vestibule are a not ideal in my opinion. If you wanna get out at night, you really have to reach far for the zipper and you have to put your stuff on the left and right hand side so you don't trip over your stuff. Other than that, I really enjoyed it, don't get me wrong. I've used it for a couple years with great pleasure, but now time for a new toy 😅
Totally agree, would very much rather have a side entrance and vestibule, but as I said "for the time being". I hvae looked at other alternatives , but I have used my current tent only a couple of times so I'm having trouble justifying a new one! @@MaartenOverweg
100% get that, I've had the NatureHike for 3 years and only this year I feel I can justify a more expensive tent. Solo overnighters, here I come! @@VeloViking
@ no problem. With what I know now I think I should have bought the 2 person version. I love this tent, but for easy cruising bikepacking adventures a bit more space would have been nice.
I do like the fact that this new tent has shorter poles. My NX1 has 47 cm long poles, so it is always hard to pack them. Wonder if you can buy the shorter ones separately, Now I think MSR will confuse people, because it used to be that the one person version is called Huba NX1 and the two person version Huba Huba NX2. 🙂
@@MaartenOverwegNot in the way I initially thought. I rewatched the video and saw on the label "Huba Huba ™Bikepack 1". Your title says bikeBack instead of bikePack. Groetjes Frank
Mmmm, interesting question. My initial reaction was that won't work. But I've just finished my first coffee of the day and perhaps see that it could. Can you give me a couple hours so I can try it out? I mean, the trying won't take that long, but I have to get to work first 😅
I have an older model Hubba Hubba which, if I'm remembering correctly, has a lot more mesh on it. I mainly use hammocks now, so i haven't used my tent for awhile, but it seems like they redesigned a bit. Let us know how the ventilation is.
Hi Maarten, amazing video! I‘m just searching for a bikepacking tent. Have you already used it? What is your second impression? Still a good choice? May I ask you where do you come from?
Hi Mario! Thanks for your comment! Yes, I used it for 2 nights last weekend. I will do another video telling more about my second impressions but if you want to know and have the time to read all this, here already a list of points. First of all, I absolutely love the look of this tent. Call me shallow, but I am a sucker for nicely designed and good looking stuff. Secondly, the packsize and weight of this tent are great. Pitching it is easy and fast enough, although I still haven't figured out what to do with the backside of the tent to properly tension it. The inner and outer of the tent touch and during wet nights that wasn't a good thing. Talking about wet: we had 2 nights of full on rain and the tent held up nicely. Nothing wet in the tent and not much condensation. That little rain gutter above the opening of the tent really helps and I didn't get any cold water on my neck when I got out of the tent. The tent bag is also great, works well on the handlebars. I have figured out a better way to secure it (will show in the upcoming video). So, all in all a good tent but you have to be willing to spend some money....Let me know which one you will decide to get!
@@MaartenOverweg Hi Maarten, I have the time to read all this, definetly!!! If you are shallow, I'm shallow too. I also like nicely designed and good looking stuff. And if it also works well, everything is fine. 🙂 I have already done two bikepacking tours with a friend. One in Norway and another, last year, from Hirtshals to Flensburg. Both tours for about 7-10 days and with heavyweight (MTB) bicycles. We had a kitchen (boiler), much food, lightweight chairs and maybe too much clothes on board. (Unfortunately I can't post a picture for you here. Compared to your equipment, you would laugh your head off.) We used the MSR tent of my friend for 3 people. I think it was the Hubba Hubba. MSR isn't low-cost, but it works verry well. BTW, what have you payed in the Netherlands? Currently I'm looking for a Gravelbike and I would like to do some short overnighters. Just getting on the train and traveling home from somewhere in 2 or 3 days. And while I was searching for a video about lightweight bikepacking tents, I saw your video. Did you plan a video about your bikepacking setup? It would be verry interesting how (and what) you get everything in these cages. Especially when you say you have had rainy days.
@@mariokoch7801 Hi again! Great to e-meet you, always nice to have a talk with a fellow bikepacker. I definitely wouldn't laugh at your setup, bikepacking can be done in many ways and people have different preferences. And preferences change over time. A couple years ago I would have laughed at the idea of riding a bike with big, fat tyres with a lot of bags strapped to it. But now I absolutely love it 😅The Hubba Hubba is my 2nd tent, I started out with a cheaper tent (NatureHike Cloud Up 1), but wanted a tent that was less heavy, had a better opening and was smaller in packsize. It cost me about 500,- here in NL. I do plan to make a couple follow up videos, one about the tent and another one about my setup. I am doing the Veneto Gravel in 2 weeks and need to get everything ready for that. About overnighters on a gravelbike: I can only recommend doing them, they are so much fun and feel like a mini vacation.
Hi! Yeah, I just googled your bike but can't see the front of the bike vey well. But I am pretty sure the tent will work on pretty much all bikes, especially with a an extension. If you want me to measure anything, just let me know. For now all I can tell you, it's a super small bag and I'm quite happy with it.
2 lbs 12 ozs, lighter than my Anjan 2 at 4lbs . Can't fit the anjan 2 under the handlebars though, but not a big deal as can put something else there like a sleeping bag, the anjan fiting nicely in the tailfin topbag with room to spare.. In rainy UK , a tent that pitches inner first is not a good idea.
Anjan? 😅 here you can see how little I know about tents 😂 I just saw the word bikepack with the MSR and was like: hey, that’s interesting 🙈 must say the short poles and small packsize has opened up a couple new possibilities how to pack the bike 🥳you have a video of your tent? Would love to see how you use it.
This interested me so i looked up the price. Typically MSR over priced, makes me wonder if the people reviewing this tent actually bought one with their own money or was it given to them!
Really cool tent. Thank you for the review sir. If I may, constructive criticism. Please get a tripod or head mount. One handed reviews raise my blood pressure.
😂😂I know, buddy, I know. But I'm just a middle-aged guy who doesn't have a clue what he's doing 🤷♀ Let me know if I need to send over some money for blood pressure medication 😅
why aren t you telling us that the floor fabric of the bikepack version is only 20D thick vs. the backpack version of the same tent is 30D! That is kind of a dealbreaker for some. nice greetz
Because I have no idea what you’re talking about 😂 mate, I’m not a tent expert or a whatever D expert. I’m a guy who likes to go bikepacking and bought a tent for it. If you want the tech specs, go to the manufacturer website.
Duur tentje. Maar ach, moet je geld ergens kwijt dus beter aan je hobby. Al die pockets and lijntjes zijn fraai. Dat bungelen aan je stuur niet. Dat kan beter. Elastische banden aan de tas bijv. En waar is het transparante vakje voor je telefoon die goedkope stuurtasjes wel hebben? Dat wordt improviseren. Ik doe het wel met mijn Lanshan. €111. Bijna net zo goed. Moet wel een stok bij carbon ofzo voor de fietspakker.
Ja, inderdaad duur tentje. Ik had het een paar jaar gedaan met een chinees tentje en dat ging op zich prima. Maar ik wist dat ik verbetering wilde in de grootte van de pakmaat. Wat dat betreft is deze tent een hele verbetering. Ook fijn is dat de opening aan de zijkant zit, daardoor hoef ik niet zo ver te kruipen naar de rits door het natte gras als ik er 's nachts uit moet. Ik heb inmiddels wel ontdekt hoe de tent strakker aan het stuur vastgemaakt kan worden. en dat transparante vakje mis ik totaal niet. Ik heb mijn navigatie altijd op mijn fietscomputer en die heeft een eigen houdertje op het stuur. Die Lashan kende ik helemaal niet, ook een interessante oplossing. Altijd leuk om te zien welke mogelijkheden er allemaal zijn. Maar die stok, hoe neem je dat mee op de fiets? Of is die in meerdere delen?
@@MaartenOverweg Lanshan is een tamelijk beroemd tentje qua prijs gewicht kwaliteit. En ik heb wat met eenstoks-piramidetentjes. Vroeger ooit eens iemand gezien met een Tatteljee of iets dergelijks. Maar eigenlijk was alles zo'n beetje koepeltent wat je kon kopen. Totdat ik Chinese sites ontdekte. Die 125 cm stok is 3-delig en past makkelijk in mijn 140 liter aluminium kist. Oh wacht, die heeft niet iedereen op zijn fiets. Ze verkopen een 4-delige carbon stok. Dan blijft het gewicht nog steeds ruim onder 1 kilo. Ik heb ook grotere piramide-tenten met halve binnentent. Pas ik in met een stoel. En is totaal met stok 2 kilo. Dat neem je mee als het kloteweer is. Voor iets meer dan 100 Euro deed'ie het prima in de stortregen. Voor de echte bikepacker wellicht te groot en zwaar. Dat hang je niet aan je stuur. Waar ik me altijd over verbaas is hoe die grote zadeltassen heen en weer slingeren. Gooi er dan een bagagedrager op zou ik zeggen. Tegenwoordig pak ik de E-ligfiets voor lange afstanden. Rijd ik vele malen verder mee. Maar af en toe mis ik de simpele stalen mountainbike. Vooral als die trut van Google me weer een bospad op stuurt. En ik vind die super bikes zoals die van jou heel fraai. Maar met een goed geprepareerde Giant Granite van 30 Euro kun je ook de hele wereld rond. En zeker als je je kampeeruitrusting heel licht kunt houden voor weinig geld. Zo heb ik bijvoorbeeld een donzen slaapzak van 400 gram die tot een paar graden boven nul warm genoeg is. Het meeste gewicht zit in mijn zware shag. Ik vraag me of of er ook lichtgewicht pakjes van 50 gram zijn?
I was so sceptical at first myself, not just about bikepacking but about gravel in general. 4 years ago I would have laughed if you would have told me I would have fun riding a fat tyre bike with 15 kg's of bags strapped to it and sleep in a tent after going slow all day 😅 But now I can highly recommend it, go for it Wim!
Biking is freedom and I experienced gravel is maybe the ultimate type of it. I also love making gravelroutes and when riding on the road I prefer the group but when gravelling I seem to prefer going solo…. (preparing a groupride…. 😅). I once went bikepacking, but that’s more than 30 years ago. I would not be surprised I will go for a trip on my packed Grizl in the near future…. We will see 😊
I fully agree with you, Wim! Gravel riding is just that feeling of freedom that I don't get on the road bike. In my brain road bike means training and the gravel bike is much more about just enjoying the ride. Do you also share the routes you make on Komoot or anywhere? Maybe I should get into making routes myself more, but I lack the patience. And I do hope you'll go bikepacking. If you ever want to borrow some equipment, I have (too many) bags and other stuff so feel free to use it.@@wimvanunen9337

Hi Chris! I'm 175 cm (5 foot 9) and I fit okay-ish. I hate the feeling of the tent touching me, so for me it's already a snug fit 😅
I know what you mean I don’t like the inner touching my face. Ah I’m 6’1” so I think it might be a bit small for me, thanks for the info 👍🏼
