Thread: Mountain star tent

Used the mountain star 2 and msr hubba hubba 2 back to back and found the msr was more spacious inside, quicker to erect with experience as mountain star was new. I did find when packing up that the mountain star tent bag is rather pathetic. So far it's a positive change from msr to kuiu in the tent department .

The bags are shit aye! Im going to try find something stronger with decent compression straps

Got myself a nice air mat and a pillow while I was at it. You can only be pushed down the stairs by the wifey once haha

Agreed, the bag is so shit I switched out to one of these. Adds a bit of weight but plenty of space

if the msr is more spacious, quicker to erect and packs down better why is the kuiu a positive change ?

I'm guessing build quality but having not used either I can't say for sure.

Iooking at the pole setup on the kuiu it is definitely a stronger design. So for me camping up high with the chance of crazy wind it's probly a better setup in that sense. Both are good options
