The MSR Ultralite Mutha Hubba Tent is highly recommended by users who have taken it to all kinds of environments and have had no problems with it.
While some users have only used it in calm weather, without any wind, rain or snow, there are some who have taken it as far as Iceland and have been very pleased with its performance.
Its size came as a nice surprise to most users who were left impressed and say they were not expecting this much room from a 3 person tent.
Its very low weight is also a major advantage of the MSR Ultralite Mutha Hubba Tent, because users can carry a lot of equipment besides it.
The MSR Ultralite Mutha Hubba Tent is a very good 3 person tent, that has received several awards and is one of the best selling tents around, which speaks highly of it.

Company Info:
Mountain Safety Research, or MSR, is an American corporation located in Seattle, Washington, and owned by Cascade Designs. It was founded in 1969 by Larry Penberthy because he was not pleased with the safety and reliability of outdoor equipment. In 1973 Penberthy developed the MSR Model 9 camp stove, a breakthrough design because of its relatively efficient performance in cold weather. He also invented an ice-ax pick design that was believed to dig into the ice better and stop a slide. Penberthy also introduced possibly the first metal-shafted ice axes that have now wholly replaced earlier, wooden-shaft designs.
The company was acquired by REI in 1981 and is currently owned by Cascade Designs. In 2000, MSR merged with Edgeworks, the manufacturer of Moss, Walrus and Armadillo tents. Shortly after, these brands were discontinued and all tents are now branded under the MSR label. In August 2001, MSR was acquired by Cascade Designs.
