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.

i got a alp mountaineering zephyr 2. I’m also 6’3 and pretty active so I was fine taking on some extra weight to save money. I’m not a thru hiker hiking 30 miles a day, I just like to get out in nature and explore for leisure. I had a naturehike mongar 2 that was solid as well and a little lighter and around $100 on amazon

I also enjoyed Mongar 2 as a not expensive but quite roomy tent for backpacking. Recently update to x-dome 2 and I enjoy it - even more spacious, still has 2 entraces & vestibules and is over 1kg lighter (I had mongar polyester 240 version).

The Mongar 2 was my first backpacking tent. Works great, I was very happy with my purchase. I wasn’t sure if I’d stick with backpacking so bought a value-priced tent. I ended up being very pleased with the quality and functionality of the tent. I eventually went with an X-Mid Pro2 once I realized that backpacking would be a major activity for my partner and I.

I have a cloud up 1, star river 2, and a friend just got a mongar 2. It's essential to get through silnylon fly IMO. I've been through hours of rain and have never had a drop in my tent. OP, look at the mongar 2. I believe it's smaller and the side entry is a huge improvement. It also has a lot more room under the fly for gear.

I have the Mongor2nd edition 2p tent and while I have only used it in near-but not freezing conditions it is plenty warm even in the wind. Pad and sleeping bag is the only thing you should worry about. Unless you are planning an Everest expedition or a dogsled trip to the South Pole.

This is the way. I have a nature hike mongar 2 for backpacking and a Coleman instant 6 person for car camping. The Coleman feels like a palace with 2 people. Just don’t expect to go 4 seasons with it. Eventually, I’ll upgrade the mongar to a xmid or other trekking pole tent, but for now, I prefer the price and extra width of the mongar. It’s a full 50” and can fit 2 pads comfortably.
