Naturehike - Mongar 1 Backpack Tent

For free standing, I bought NatureHike Mongar 1P 15D tent for around 138 USD (if I use exchange rate). Everything with their free ground mat is 1.5kg. If you remove ground mat and just bring few pegs, you can bring it down to 1.2ish-1.3ishkg. It is lighter than Featherstone Obsidian and can fit 25 inch regular wide pad. It doesn't feel cramped. You can pitch it rain fly first (watch YT video of Mongar pitching in rain). Other than that, I couldn't find another tent cheaper than that (though it's not exactly UL) and 200-500g more than XDome1+ which will be available around June.

I would've wanted the Dome but the next stock would be on June. It's around 1kg. I found slightly heavier than that which just costs me PHP 7600.00 (around 130ish USD if converted). It's called NatureHike Mongar 1 UL 15D. The entire tent (including all stakes) is just 1.31kg (excluding included ground mat). If we include the ground mat it comes with it's just 1.5kg. It's not as light and as spacious as The One though but it's same width from head to toe unlike The One. If you have ChatGPT, you can type this for comparison: "mongar 1ul 15D vs gossamer gear the one dimensions create table" It also has wide door you definitely can stand up (unlike other 1p tents that feels like you're entering a cave) in like in The One. If you don't need a tent until July, then maybe just wait for XDome because it's a lighter free standing tent.

Naturehike. Tested ko na sa camping sa Pulag yong 2P. Lakas ng rain at hangin sa campsite. Nasa 2.5 kg kilos ata yang 2P. Di kasama accessories. Mas magaan dyan yong 1P tent, 1.3 kg di kasama accessories.

“Taller guy” Not sure how tall you are but I’m 6’2” and the Mongar is more than fine. 

Got a used Naturehike Mongar cheap, think its a 2 not 3 but they make good kit. Vango is always a solid choice, Nevis/Banshee/etc 300.
