The Hubba Hubba NX has the best mix of light weight and livability of any two-person tent available. The tech that makes it possible: light zippers, which also allow big doors and thinner fabrics. And durability? The Hubba Hubba tolerated three weeks of abuse without a scratch. As one tester summed it up, “It’s the perfect backpacking tent.”

The Lumina is a marvel of ultralight design. Weighing in at just 1.8 pounds, it’s the lightest pack we’ve seen with legitimate hauling capabilities. And Osprey achieved that without sacrificing features: there’s an aluminum frame, a fixed top lid, a stash pocket on the front, removable side compression cords, and ample lash points.
