"can fit 25 inch regular wide pad. ... It doesn't feel cramped."
"The mongar is wide enough for two 25" pads while the cloud is slightly too narrow so if you are worried about width, get the Mongar. ... If you plan to sleep two people most of the time I would get the Mongar based on pictures."

"Used my tent for the first time this weekend. had a few hours of rain during the evening. because of the high cut out, there is a lot of splashing water. as a result, drops came through the inner tent! Also, due to the high cut-out everything next to your inner tent, such as my bag and shoes, were wet as well."
"Not even for rain? I've used my Mongar 15D with moderate rain for 3 hours I got water droplets inside."
"One thing I don’t like about the new UL Mongar is how they cut out the fly so much. ... I’d imagine that could create a problem with rain splash back."

One thing I don’t like about the new UL Mongar is how they cut out the fly so much. I’d imagine that could create a problem with rain splash back. I’d still probably get the new one just because it’s so much lighter.
r/Ultralight • Naturehike Mongar tent - new model or last year’s? ->Just got one of the new Mongar UL1 and am heading out for a trip with it this weekend - it looks 10/10 for me and for 1/2 the price of other tents, you can't go wrong. I really like the side opening vs the tunnel opening of the CloudUp - I'm tired of facing away from the lake's we stay on. A couple of buddies and I have been using Naturehike tents for 10 years or so, most are CloudUps and I also have a Star River 2.
r/CampingGear • Short term review: Naturehike Mongar 2 UL ->I have a Naturehike Mongar UL. Fits very well for two people!
r/Ultralight • 2P Semi-UL Tent needed - Recommendations? ->Biggest difference is front vs side entry. Front entry is much tighter in my opinion. Another difference is the shape/volume. The cloud slopes up in more of a triangle while the mongar puffs out due to the pole shape. The mongar is wide enough for two 25" pads while the cloud is slightly too narrow so if you are worried about width, get the Mongar. To me, the shape of the cloud seems too shallow on the sides to be considered a true two person tent. Weight discrepancies can be due to the total package vs excluding optional equipment like stakes/ground cloth/stuff sack. If you plan to sleep two people most of the time I would get the Mongar based on pictures. I saw the cloud in person and the guy who owned it said he didn't ever use it with more than 1 person. Price differences happen all the time between Amazon and manufacturers. Get whatever is cheapest/ has the return policy you like.
r/CampingGear • Choosing between naturehike tents ->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.
r/Ultralight • Need help picking a budget ultralight tent ->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.
r/Ultralight • Looking for free standing 1 person tent. ->I second the nature hike… I got the 1 person bike packing version.. and the quality is great for the price. The weight is good enough.. this is the way to go.. also maybe get some outdoor research 3 pack of dry bags and use the big one for the tent and ditch the big cluncky sack it comes with..
r/backpacking • Looking for a Tent ->I have a nature hike 1up from ~2021. It’s not the best but it was $100 and has been flawless in 40ish nights I’ve used it. It packs small, it’s light and I stay dry. Buy it if it doesn’t work for you after a couple of trips you have a spare
r/bikepacking • Naturehike Spider 1, Cloud Trek, Bikepacking Tent ->I have a nature hike solo tent. Looking forward to doing some solo backpacking before it gets too cold. Did you enjoy soloing?
r/camping • First time wilderness camping, camping solo, in a nor’easter. ->Used my tent for the first time this weekend. had a few hours of rain during the evening. because of the high cut out, there is a lot of splashing water. as a result, drops came through the inner tent! Also, due to the high cut-out everything next to your inner tent, such as my bag and shoes, were wet as well.
