You can pitch the tent and leave the flysheet off on cloud-free nights, to enjoy some stargazing before you drift into a slumber.<\/p>\n<p>I was camping in the middle of a heatwave that was sizzling (even in Ireland), and I was very comfortable in a lightweight <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advnture.com\/buying-guides\/best-2-season-sleeping-bags\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.advnture.com\/buying-guides\/best-2-season-sleeping-bags\">2-season sleeping bag<\/a>, but I can\u2019t help thinking the use of this mesh will affect how warm the Hubba Hubba is during the colder months, lowering the internal temperature \u2013 this is something I\u2019ll monitor as the seasons change.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"82d18b83-3c67-47c6-ad57-48e60e972785\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The new door design on the Hubba Hubba LT2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/M2Tjv7HfGFfproN3EH4PtR.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The new door design on the Hubba Hubba LT2 <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Pat Kinsella)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"034a9d9c-4e3e-433e-ad9d-909225cce63d\">Another alteration that becomes immediately obvious when you start looking more closely at the LT is to the internal doors. Instead of the old-style D-shape doors on the inner tent, there is a triangular shaped opening, with two separate zips meeting at the point of the right angle. The benefit of this is that the zips are more durable, easier to use with one hand, and the zipper always ends up in the same place, so you know exactly where to find it without scrambling around with a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advnture.com\/buying-guides\/best-headlamp\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.advnture.com\/buying-guides\/best-headlamp\">headlamp<\/a> in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n<p>One other change I noticed on the inside of the tent is the addition of cable ports in the wall pockets, so you can have things like mobile phones and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.advnture.com\/buying-guides\/best-gps-watches\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.advnture.com\/buying-guides\/best-gps-watches\">smartwatches<\/a> neatly plugged into powerpacks for recharging, without wires dangling all over the place.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"19229ad9-bfd4-495e-b5ca-600fe8efd55d\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-320-80.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The new metal corner tech on the Hubba Hubba LT2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-320-80.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9-1200-80.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/FUYBW2ooTANokN4misJZy9.jpg\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The new metal corner tech on the Hubba Hubba LT2 <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Pat Kinsella)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"7c59ec47-a77e-46f8-a28d-e8777df389ca\">I have many more adventures planned involving the new LT2, during which I will test the thermal properties of the redesigned inner tent (outside of a heatwave), and I will be uploading a full review here in due course.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase the Hubba Hubba LT2 in the United States now, and it will be available in the UK and across Europe from 1 January 2026.
