2 Person Backpacking Tent Mongar - Ultralight 20D Nylon 3-Season

In this review the Naturehike Mongar 2 Person Backpacking Tent is evaluated for lightweight overnight trips where pack weight and quick setup matter most. The bottom line: this tent is for two-person backpackers and cyclists who want a compact, free-standing shelter that balances durability with low weight. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of 20D nylon ripstop fabric and a complete kit weight under 5 lbs, which makes multi-day hiking or bikepacking trips noticeably easier on the shoulders.

Key Features

• Ultralight construction: The full set weighs about 4.73 lbs including groundsheet so it is easy to carry on long trails.
• Compact pack size: Packs down to roughly 19.7 by 5.9 in for convenient storage in a backpack or bike bag.
• Durable materials: 20D nylon ripstop fly and floor paired with 7001 aluminium poles provide a strong yet light shelter structure.
• Good ventilation: Double layer design with B3 mesh inner and two side air vents reduces condensation while keeping insects out.
• Practical layout: Two doors and two vestibules give easy access and sheltered gear storage without compromising headroom.
• Free-standing stability: Y-frame 2-Y structure offers solid wind resistance and an inner and fly that can be used separately for shade or shelter.

Who It's For

This tent is aimed at thru-hikers, backpackers and cycle tourers who need a true two-person shelter that balances livability and minimum weight. The 210 x 135 cm floor and 100 cm peak height give enough room for two adults to sleep and sit up briefly, while the compact packed size suits multi-day packlists.

Those who want a heavy-duty basecamp tent, large family shelter, or a 4-season mountaineering tent should look elsewhere; the Mongar excels as a lightweight 3-season option rather than a winter expedition shelter.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very light complete kit at about 4.73 lbs including groundsheet, making it easy to carry for long distances.
• Two doors and vestibules provide convenient entry and protected gear space on both sides.
• Good ventilation from B3 mesh inner and side vents minimizes condensation in typical 3-season use.

Cons

• As a 3-season 20D nylon tent, it is not designed for severe winter conditions or heavy, prolonged storms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tent easy for one person to pitch?
Yes. The simple Y-frame structure and clear instructions sewn into the stuff sack allow a single person to set it up quickly on the trail.

Can the fly be used alone as a sun shade?
Yes. The double-layer design lets you use the tent fly separately as a sun shade while keeping the inner tent for ventilation when needed.

How breathable is the inner tent?
The high-density B3 mesh and two side air vents provide good airflow and limit condensation in typical 3-season conditions.
