Mongar UL 2p: lots of mesh https://www.naturehike.com/products/mongar-ul-2-person-ultralight-backpacking-tent?_pos=1&_sid=6d3b3fe25&_ss=r
Mongar 2 UL: also lots of mesh, idk how it’s different from the previous one other than fly color/material https://www.naturehike.com/products/mongar-2-person-ultralight-backpacking-tent?_pos=2&_sid=6d3b3fe25&_ss=r
Mongar Pro 2 UL: less mesh, honestly to me the mesh looks comparable to star river, presumably this is the new one https://www.naturehike.com/products/mongar%E2%84%A2-pro-2-person-ultralight-backpacking-tent?_pos=3&_sid=6d3b3fe25&_ss=r
Star River 2p UL: not a lot of mesh https://www.naturehike.com/products/star-river-2-person-ultralight-backpacking-tent?_pos=2&_sid=fd9c84fc1&_ss=r
Star River UL 2p: some sides have more mesh than others https://www.naturehike.com/products/star-river-ul-2-person-ultralight-backpacking-tent?_pos=4&_sid=fd9c84fc1&_ss=r
Also, NatureHike should do a better job of naming their products, it’s honestly a little confusing.
Assuming the non pro version of the mongar 2 is available in OP’s region, the regular mongar 2 UL have a lot of mesh and are good tents, especially on a budget.
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’d second the mongar 2 though I’m not sure I’d go for the pro f you are more of a fair weather camper. Also worth looking at some other Naturehike 2’s such as the cloud up 2 my most frequently used tent as it’s much cheaper less weight less volume in your pack and pitches in much smaller spaces but their is just one door and a smaller vestibule.The star river 2 is also worth a look .
Personally I would not go close to never mind over 2 kg for a tent for solo 3 season use
People have made the comparison to the Naturehike Star River 2 but this comes in at much lighter and doesn't have an identical design (a little longer for us tall people). I just bought the Star River 2 but I'm looking at this for a little better packability. Could you clarify on "full Canadian after-sales support"? Would I have difficulties with any warranty scenarios as an American? The weight reduction is great, but that also leaves concerns about the 10D durability.
The Star River has less mesh on the inside. That is the main difference. It means it is better for camping in slightly lower temperatures, but it is still not approaching a winter tent.
I have the Star River 2. Wouldn't say it's particularly noisy, and have had no real zip issues. It's a great tent. The main criticism I would have is that the inner door rolls down to floor level when unzipped. It can be secured there, but it's not ideal, especially if you're particularly wet as you're getting into the tent.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
