Maybe this helps people - the Star River 2 is a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2 clone and the Mongar 2 is a MSR Hubba Hubba 2 clone. Both based off top selling tents from the big brands - both very good for the price!

I ended up buying both and have decided to keep them both. I prefer the Star River for myself because of the additional fabric that raises the height of the bathtub floor. The mongar is considerably wider which is a better design for two people so I will give this tent to my two daughters to use. The other differences in clips, pockets and cross member are not significant in my opinion. I took the star river out this weekend in the rain and it worked very well and I was completely dry.

Very helpful comparison thanks. A point missed. The Mongar has a much wider roof that puts an awning over the vestibule. While with the Star River when the fly door is open the rain is much more likely to drip into the tent. So the wider head room inside the Mongar, also means an awning over the door when getting in and out in the rain

I bought this tent because of the amazing reviews. I live in a place in Texas where the winds get up to 50-75mph which is quite bad and had a few tents collapse during a camp outs. I bought this one for this area and used it for another one the nature hike mongar 2 I have two of them. Beautiful tents! When it is 105 degrees outside those flap’s create a great cross breeze. Even my husband did great sleeping in the tent. 6 foot 3 inches. Still had plenty of room to have gear at the bottom. Wind was definitely not an issue. Especially with the huge stakes we had to nail into the rock hard ground.

Both are basically the same size and quality in construction. Thanks again.

Great video. I think the Star River 2 is slightly better. It seems like an improved version of the Mongar 2, especially the extra head room. The only thing that would make it better is if it had a longer 'cross bar' (same length as the Mongar, rather than shorter) so the inside doesn't come in so much on the sides, and thereby losing space. That wouldn't matter, if you are sleeping in it by yourself, but might be slightly inconvenient if sharing this tent with a second person.

The Star River is pretty close to the Robens Boulder2 who is my favourite tent. I also own and love the NH CloudUp2, however...the problem I have with the NatureHike tents, is that they all have too much mesh and too little 'solid wall' inners. I live in Norway, the nights are getting colder, and if I were to go camping now, I would definitely bring my Robens Boulder2 and not my beloved NH CloudUp2,-for that reason alone. Too much mesh is a no-go for me exept in mid summer,-I've had enough cold nights thank you very much! Other than that, both these tents looks like they could do the job, I like the Star River the best, but...I still prefer my Robens😊

really nice and detailed comparison. thank you! wouldhave appreciate also if you had given some actual camping experience about ventilation and especially the differnt door systems. which door style is easier to use and maybe lets less bucks in when u open and close it quickly. because i suppose the Mongar door can just hamg there with the zipper not really closed so at least there is a bit of protection. and then I also wonder about the lack of one window or vent with the Star River. but I could assume the higher opposite side thus creates a bigger chimney effect. but then again if the wind is turning the Mongar is in advantage due to its symmetrical design. But the headroom and the pockets are really a big plus also not to forget the higher fabric part on the inner tent because I read a lot of people complain that the Mongar can get quickly too breezy and thus chilly inside because of the only mesh design.

The Mongar is, as far as I can see, the same model as the 3F UL Floating Cloud 2, at least from the frame. This might mean that one could exchange the inner of the Mongar with the 4 season one for the Floating Cloud 2, seeing as Naturehike doesn't offer any other inners. Though the 3F inner has to be ordered from Ali over in China and doesn't come cheap... Maybe someone who has access to both tents in their circle of friends can test it out?^^

I use the Mongar 2 tent. Have used it for 3 years now and am extremely satisfied. Have used it for a cycling holiday in Denmark in all kinds of weather. I use the top pocket in the inner tent to dry towels during the day and is also a good storage space. However, I have a problem with the inner tent in that the zipper is stuck in the fabric and it is impossible to get rid of it. One part of the zipper bulges out. Does anyone have a link to pages how I can fix it myself. I'm probably not the only one with this problem. A good piece of advice is to be careful when using the zipper and possibly hold with one hand and pull the zipper with the other!!!!! Thanks for this review.!!

Easy to flap outside and get wet - and in or out has a habit of catching mud etc if you're sat inside with legs/boots outside. But the actual opening looked much bigger than the Mongar. I couldn't quite see if the Mongar has the central light hook that the SR2 does ?

Hi Bennet - out of these two I'd say that the star river would be the better of the two for colder windier nights - but you may even want to check out the cloud up 2 if you havent already. Tie off an additional guyline to the rear window and the thing is bomb proof. Also, I have never had an issue with the flysheet not being attached to the frame, it actually clips to the ground sheet or inner via the corners. Thanks for watching!

Is the Star River the same pole structure as the Cloud Up 2?

The net bit that was touching your head is called a gear loft, the "rainbow" style doors on the river tent are very American, they seem to like them like that, good comparison thanks.

These Naturehike tents are Chinese copies of the American designed MSR Hubba Hubba (Mongar) and Big Agnes Copper Spur (Star River). They are a fraction of the cost of the original tents.

Would u be able to do a review side by side on the difference between Cloudup 2 and the star River 2 one of my questions is are they both 4 season or which one held up better? I have watched from the playing list your camping with both tents. Hope you can help thanks 😊

Hard to call it. Perhaps Star River? Feels like a little lower profile.

I have a question 😊 You said the flysheet could be attached directly without the inner tent, does that mean it's possible to put up the tent flysheet first if it's raining hard, for example? Thank your for such an AMAZING and thorough video. Tmits probably the best review I've ever seen on any tents!🎉

@@SummitOrNothing Hi, thanks so much for replying, and for the link! I realized in the comments later that it is indeed possible. I'm now torn between the Star River 2 and Exped Lyra ii Meadow that's currently on sale. They seem to have very similar specs 🤔

Nature Hike doesn't seem to have any presence in UK and according to their website warranty is limited, customer has to pay for any returns, and sent items back to China. How's your experience with after sales service?

Hello, very good video !!! 2 years ago I also hesitated and bought a Mongar 2 and it has met my needs: tent for 2 adults and a 5 year old kid. Too bad last night a fox decided he wanted my food and broke it for a corner. Now I'm looking for a spare and I thought to repeat until I saw the Campz Lacanau ... which do you think is better? Thanks for the tips

Always look forward to your vids. Super useful comparison, just wondering do you use a foot print when camping to protect your tents? My lanshan 2 bathtub is very lightweight I wonder do I need to protect it.

Trev spotted this straight away... The reason I bought the Star River and not the Mongar, is because the Mongar inner fly has mesh to the floor and is going to be more draughty. There is another review on youtube about how draughty the Mongar is. I do prefer the door opening on the Mongar though.
