Mongar 2 Backpack Tent (Nylon)

Naturehike for both, I get mine off aliexpres where they have their own store so you can be reassured it's the real deal. They frequently have sales there that they don't on their main website. Two specific suggestions are the [CW400 sleeping bag ](https://www.naturehike.com/products/cw400-down-ultralight-sleeping-bag)which packs up very small, here's mine next to a Nalgene for comparison: https://preview.redd.it/fl2kjhl1c9ng1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d3b66d846ed0a2186bf6b9f3b0625e427b4e180 And perhaps their Mongar 2 UL tent? Or, if you're on more of a budget and are okay with it being somewhat heavier, how about [this one](https://www.naturehike.com/products/cloud-river-2-person-backpacking-tent?_pos=2&_fid=2793426a2&_ss=c)

I would go with the Mongar 2 UL. The issue I have with the star River is the way the zipper attaches making it a pain to open and close. It's also more designed for hot weather rather than cold. Both are good tents, but of the ones you mentioned, I'd pick the MongarUL. The only real negative I have with it is the colour (same for the Star River)

Honestly? Neither. I have a Tungsten 2p and it's not my favorite. The Paria's yellow colour is an absolute deal breaker for me (though perhaps not for everyone). Let me ask a few questions and I might be able to guide you a bit better: * budget? * where will you be backpacking and for how long? * what season/temps/any major inclement weather like high winds, etc? * solo hiking? carry a lot of gear or minimal? * any weight limits? Immediately off the top of my head I'd suggest something like the [Naturehike Mongar 2p](https://www.naturehike.com/products/mongar-2-person-ultralight-backpacking-tent). It's a similar price to the Paria, available in a variety of less objectionable shades, and very very good quality. At 6"2 and 210 you're not going to want a 1p tent at all.

Yep! I'd get the Mongar 2p, it has a really cool feature that you can open it up into a covered awning with trekking poles/sticks. Makes a great overhang to cook under if it's raining/really sunny. I can't say for every product but both my Naturehike tents have had zero quality issues, they're actually better than a lot of high end tents in that regard.

seconded. It's a great tent

Naturehike Mongar or Cloud up in their 3p version? It's relatively lightweight, affordable, and very well made. My cloudup 1p does really well in rain and wind.

It absolutely depends - if theres no wind, the Mongar will be fine. If there's a 30mph wind with 40mph gusts (hardly unknown) your tent *might* survive, but you'll have a scary night. There's also a good chance is will fail completely - snapped poles, torn fabric, all the good stuff. If you're going up high, you need to think about what will happen if your tent fails catastrophically at 3am - you've got 4+ hours till it's light, the weather is shit, and if you walk in the wrong direction you're going to fall 1000ft and then bounce down the rest.

Naturehike mongar2 20d version. I reckon you can get 2 people and if it´s yer gf then it´s fine if it´s even a bit snug. Large doors and vestibules on both sides too.

I used a naturehike mongar 2 ul 15D all summer and it's been amazing, roomy enough for me and my girlfriend and it held up quite well against the wind

I’m looking for some advice for a winter camping trip I am planning. I currently use the Mongar 2, the grey 20D version rather than the new UL model. For Christmas I will also be getting a Thermarest NeoAir XTherm NXT MAX L sleeping mat and a Snugpak Softie Elite 4 Olive LZ sleeping bag. My main questions are for people who have camped in the UK in proper winter conditions or in similar climates. First, do you think the Mongar 2 is sturdy enough to handle strong winds at higher elevations in the UK. Second, when paired with the sleeping mat and bag mentioned above, do you think my sleep system will be sufficient. For the sleep system I expect I should be fine since the mat has an R value of 7.3 and I am a warm sleeper. My main concern is the tent. I do not want it to collapse in heavy winds or get overwhelmed by rain. I am open to alternatives for the sleeping bag and pad since they have not been bought yet. I would also appreciate tent recommendations if you feel the Mongar 2 is not suitable. My budget for a tent is around one hundred and fifty pounds because most of my money is going toward the sleep system.

Thanks for the response but I do have some experience with winter camping as I’ve camped at high altitude at Y Garn with a worse tent. My question was asked as I was wondering if people had experienced with this tent. The tent I did it before with had fibreglass poles and this one has aluminium poles so theoretically should be stronger.

Thanks for the advice, and I’ll make sure to be careful of getting something better for harsher conditions. I’m not sure if I can afford anything over £300 for a tent for the foreseeable future. However, I will say the tent itself does feel pretty sturdy to me of course when used it I did use a spot that was more protected, in the Peak District. I have also seen a few reviews of the mongar in uk winter with snow, albeit not too much snow and the guy did make sure to hit off the snow. But none of those videos actually showed its capabilities against heavier winds.

Climbing in frontwards while trying not to touch the wet ground with my knees, while being low enough that my back or head doesn’t catch the fly and dump water on my back to then have to turn halfway so my bum lands on the inside then taking my boots off then pulling my legs inside and then leaning out my inner to zip the outta fly door back down while trying to loop the door loop onto the peg and then doing it all over again because I need to pee lol. Maybe a slight exaggeration but side doors are soo much better, particularly for taller, larger or older folks. Loved the tent, very good in the wind with its back facing into the wind. A lot of tent for the price (£80 ish) and a lot of space inside using it as a 1 person tent. I also think it’s the perfect weight. I hate the door lol.

The cloud peak isn’t anything like a hubba lol, maybe you’re thinking of the mongar! The cloud peak is also heavy at 2.6kg Naturehike monger would be worth consideration for OP. I personally feel it has too much mesh and the fly is too high of the ground and that it is very much a summer tent. Naturehike monger 2 20d pro version in olive green is currently £160 on Ali, £20 off when you spend £159 right now so £140. It’s very roomy, easy to pitch, 3000mm hh, 2 side doors with 2 vestibules. The wieght is heavier at 1.8kg but you will be hard to pushed to find something lighter with all the bells and whistles of this style of tent for the price. Shop around, I have seen it cheaper, maybe more like £100-£120 price range.

Naturehike monger; my thoughts from using a lot of Naturehike tents. It has sooo much mesh and the fly doesn’t come close enough to the ground, so will be very drafty; your sleep system would be 100% of your warmth. It’s also very large inside and with that much mesh, it will be impossible to warm the inside air. Condensation won’t be a problem though, but snow would blow in. Avoid anything but a light dusting. With its back to the wind and pegged out as long as possible with some 23cm pegs, I would use it in 20mph winds with higher guests, but I wouldn’t recommend it at altitude where winds can be unpredictable unless you had a natural rock formation or natural shelter around you. Side guests could collapse it, and also pitching up and down would put a lot of strain on the poles. The poles, dispute what people say, are similar to other well-known £300-£400 tents (Big Agnes, MSR), but those tents are also not described as “4-season” tents. Snow, the tent design with the cross support would allow snow to build on the top and could collapse the tent under weight, I would avoid anything other than a light dusting. In the right conditions you could totally get away with a few winter camps in this tent but it is, a warm, calm weather tent that will hold up will in a decent amount of rain. It’s also a really good summer tent allowing you to sleep under the stars on a calm night without the outta fly.

Nice gear imo. I've got a mongar and also their 3 pole one... cloud peak? 1.8 vs 2.3kg. It's sturdier and randomly also easier to get in and out of. Both go well but I prefer the heavier tent in all but the warmest weather.
