About 2-3 weeks ago I asked for suggestions for a new solo tent here on the board, got a lot of suggestions. I ended up buying a MSR Hubba NX solo tent off E-Bay for over $100 less than anywhere I could find from any dealers. It's a little lighter than what I wanted [which is good] , same width at the head and foot,[which is good] about 3 foot tall inside. It does have that bar across the top, which I think could be a weak point, but see why it's there and according to the reviews I read it isn't a problem. MSR is a good company which as I understand it stands behind their products. I did look up every tent you all suggested before making my final decision, Thanks for helping me spend my money. FRED

I don't remember what it replaces, Fred, but it looks like a nice tent and I hope it works out well for you. The older I get, the better lighter is . . . :) I'll be interested to hear how it works out for you.

Did you get the old version with 2 vestibules?

The spreader pole should not be a problem. They are used in a lot of tents now (I believe the fly is reinforced at the end location or even have a pocket).
I'm sure you will like it.

Nice! Just looked it up, it's a great looking tent!

I am jealous - I have been forbidden to buy anymore tents untilI get rid of some.

Congrats Fred! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.
