    Default Green with Hubba envy!

    I love my Hubba, so much so I sleep with her every night (on the trail that is). The problem I’ve always had was she looked like a huge, fat bottle of French's Mustard lying in the woods. Now I check out the 2011 MSR site and see a new sleek GREEN Hubba. Think they would sell me a fly?

    You should Email them and ask.

    My Hubba is more of an orange color and its actually quite camouflaged in southern utah.

    Yes, the new ones are grand. They are a little different, too (higher tub, bigger pockets). I know you can buy the orange fly from MSR. But, I think the cost is like $120 or something. So I am assuming that you can buy the green one, too. If that price is actually true, you might as well sell your tent and buy the 2011

    Good Luck in whatever you choose to do.

    Can you dye it? I think there is an old thread on here where a guy did.

    the new hubba has a very cool color scheme to it.

    I am usually pretty condescending to those that scoff and Hubba tent colors. I have an orange Hubba Hubba and it's fine for me. BUT, I do like the green!

    I have the new green one! It's been set up in the living room for a couple of weeks, I keep crawling in. Not that there was anything wrong with my yellow one. But it's nice to have two
