Compare every shelter by pole lengthMSR Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2P — Specs & Analysis
Manufacturer specifications, compared against every other shelters & tents in our database. We do not test gear in the field — we measure, verify, and compare.
MSR adapted their long-established Hubba Hubba for bikepacking by splitting the tent into three compact stuffsacks sized to fit handlebar rolls, frame bags, and seat packs. The Xtreme Shield waterproof coating handles extended wet conditions, and the design retains the original's livability and storm-worthiness.
Who Is the MSR Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2P Best For?
Duo bikepackers who want a proven two-person tent adapted for bike-based packing. If that describes your riding style, the Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2P should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Shelters & Tents category alongside 17 other products we track.
How It Compares
At 1400g and $580, the Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2P is 1250g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the Borah Gear Cuben Fiber Tarp at 150g). The most budget-friendly option is the MSR Thru-Hiker Mesh House 1 at $150.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $41 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.

The Bottom Line
We haven't scored the MSR Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2P, and neither has anyone else we can cite. It's here for its verified specifications and dimensions, which is what the fit tools run on — a score is an editorial judgement, and we don't hand one out until someone has a basis for it. What this page can tell you is measured: 1400g, $580, and how both sit against every other shelters & tents product we track.

Specifications and dimensions come from the sources listed above. Where a page draws on first-hand riding, it says so.
What it packs down to
MSR publishes a packed size of 6 x 18 in (splits into 3 stuffsacks), which is 5.3 litres as a folded block. Of the 55 bags we track that publish a capacity, 29 have room for it and 26 do not.
Volume is computed from MSR's own packed size, treating a two-dimension figure as a stuff sack. Bag capacities are the makers' published figures, not ours — 12 of the bags we hold dimensions for publish no capacity and are left out of the count rather than assumed. A stuff sack does not reshape itself, so read the headroom as room to spare rather than a guarantee it goes in easily.
How the Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2P compares
Against the bags people cross-shop it with, measured rather than reviewed — including how many real frames each one fits.
How it compares
Against the 18 shelters & tents we hold published specs for.
At 1400g the Hubba Hubba Bikepack 2P is lighter than 1 of 17 alternatives we track, which makes it among the heaviest we track. The category median is 822g.
At $580 it undercuts 3 of 17 of them, against a median of $360. That works out at $41 per 100g — below the $50 median for shelters & tents.
Weight and price come from published specifications. Cost per 100g is a blunt measure — it rewards light gear and says nothing about durability or whether the thing works — so treat it as one input, not a verdict.
