Is there a difference between the 2005 model and the 2007 model of the MSR Hubba Hubba. I found a really good deal on a new 2005 model but I've only tried a new one at the store near me? anyone know?

Yes.
The '07 weighs 3.1 oz. lighter because of the DAC Featherlite poles. The '05 was BP Magazines Editors Choice. The tent has not changed otherwise.

The '08 is the same except the fly is baby poo yellow now and a bit more eye friendly.

They do make the new HH HP for $450. I dont get the increase to save 4 oz.

It's a great tent!

Go with the 05 the weight doesn't really matter, does it? You save money and with the orange fly hunters will never shoot your tent! I have the 05 Hubba, love it.

my wife and i will be using the new hubba hubba this year. from what i understand they also came out with a 4-season version thats less mesh, but haven't seen anything about it yet. i know oz add up to pounds but 3.1 oz is really nothing, especially if you are splitting it up with someone else.

Hitman,

The tent IS the Hubba Hubba HP with less mesh and 4 oz. lighter. The regular HH 08' version is the same as previous years as I stated in a prior post on the thread.

You need to look at the packaged weight, unless you intend to leave stuff sacks and stakes behind. Minimum weight is not with everything. In other words your Hubba Hubba is heavier than you think!!!:D
