For camping routes where there are no lodges

MSR Hubba Hubba 2

Two-person, three-season, ~1.7 kg

Light, genuinely weatherproof and quick to pitch in wind, which is what matters at a high camp — it is a three-season tent, so it is the wrong choice for a winter expedition.

Pitches fast in wind, one person, gloves on

Two doors and two vestibules — a real difference over a fortnight

Survives repeated pitching on stony ground

Three-season: not for winter storms

Expensive

Poles are the failure point — carry the repair sleeve

Not for you if: Any teahouse trek. You will carry it for two weeks and sleep in a lodge every night.

A serviceable tent at a quarter of the price

Naturehike Cloud-Up 2

Does most of what a premium tent does in ordinary conditions for a quarter of the money — the poles and the fly fabric are where the saving was made, and both show it in real wind.
