I am looking for a light trekking tent and currently I am considering the Hubba Hubba and the Dagger. Does anyone have experience with one (or both) and can share some longterm findings?

Edit: Or other recommendations!

    I have not used any of those tents. If i was buying a new tent now though, i would most likely go for a naturehike mongar 2025 upgrade, avaialable in 1p and 2p, the updated version is lighter now. Should be very similar system to the msr, but at half the price, and it is coming with a ground sheet.

    I had a naturehike tent before and was impressed with the quality, would not hesitate to buy again. Currently using a big agnes copper spur, which is still good to go, I want to bring the price down to at least 1€ / night, haha.

      Thanks for the heads up, it is really light for the price! But tbh I don’t really like the two colours. They are both too bright imo. But yeah, for the two mentioned tents the ground sheet is another 70€ or more.

      Which naturehike did you have? Sounds great, how much do you have left to bring the price down to 1€/night?

        I like the color, looks like my copper spur really, the olive one. At first i thought the copper spur was a bit bright too, but now i prefer it to the darker greens i think.

        The naturehike tent i had was called “spider 1”, dark green. I gave it away (after i got the price down to 1€ / night ;) because it lacked the orthogonal roof pole, that keeps the vestibule away from the inner tent when you open the door. To be able to look out in the rain and not get everything wet etc.

        I reckon i have 100 more nights to go in the copper spur, got it at sale for 330€. From tomorrow night i will continue to bring that counter down some more :)
        A joke really that these ground sheets are so expensive and not included. I made a ground sheet myself for it, from 65g/m² ripstop nylon. Had a tyvek one before, but i didn’t like it all that much, dried way slower than the rest of the tent, ripped a lot, looks like shit. And i need a ground sheet to be able to set up / put down the tent in the rain.
