I just received a Hubba Hubba and wanted to share my observations. On this forum, people have reported that it is both Huge and Small, demonstrating that perspective is very subjective. I am 5'8" 150# and my wife is 5'4" and 120#. Our 20" pads fit easily and our shoulders will bump occassionaly when we are sleeping. Big enough for a UL set up, but that is not the same as Huge. We are ok with the amount of space. The large vestibules make up for the smaller interior.
I have found setting it up in the rain and setting up the fly first to be easy. Like the MSR video shows. I opened the poles and attached them to the rainfly first. After putting the first three ends into the fly corners, it is easy to pop the poles so that they invert and fit inside the fly. The fly gets set on the ground and then you climb in out of the rain. Starting at the middle you attach all of the clips and the center ridge pole. I then go back outside to easily attach the tent corners to the pole ends. I found the whole process fairly quick and easy. Some have reported it being a struggle and I think it was because they either tried to do the corners first or tried to attach the corners from under the fly. Only after it is all assembled do I stake it down.
It might add 2 minutes to the set up time. I think more than worth the minor inconvenience to keeping the inner tent dry.
