Mountain Safety Research's Mutha Hubba provides versatile configuration for living comfort on fast and light trips. Using double-walled construction and a spacious pole design, it's a tent designed for both full protection and sociable camping.

  • Double-wall classic style for full protection in rain and wind

  • Stay-dry entrances mean that water won't drip inside - go ahead and keep ventilating through light weather conditions
  • Optional footprint for protection against sticks and stones
