Pros & Cons
Pros
Have no hesitation with taking it on my next camping trip. Have had 2 years now and use a minimum of once a month including winter. I am excited to see how it does when we go on an actual trip.
The marmot fortress has a heavier polyester used for the footprint and tent floor, but it weighs more and this would be comparing apples to kumquats. Set up is easy and instructions easy to follow. The floor seems kind of thin but durable so far.
This tent compares favorably with much more expensive tents. It favorably competes with tents twice or more the price. This was cited in many reviews and was expected. Will update my review once used.
Used this tent on the ozark trail and had no problems. The 6 stakes included are the really nice lightweight ones you'd find at rei (for like $4 apiece lol) set-up is pretty standard as noted above, except that rather than the rain fly clipping on to ... Read More
This is by far the lightest, quality budget backpacking tent you can get. The silnylon is light but durable and very waterproof. There are three little pockets - one of them is in the roof and can hold a light. I have a separate ultralight tent that w... Read More
Cons
There's a nifty mesh compartment for putting a light or stashing other items above your head, but it eats up the already meager headroom. Another gripe is that the tent looks way more expensive than it actually is.
Highlights
Quality
Well built, so far so good, easy set up and love those stakes
Was bone dry during a rain storm, super durable, even held up to my dogs scratching at the netting.
Tiny bits of gravel inevitably followed me into the tent and in two days had punched holes in the floor.
We had rain the second day for about four hours and the tent remained watertight.
Price
For the price, this thing is a steal!
Great little tent for a budget or a starter tent.
I got it because (like most people) i couldn't afford a $400 tent.
Not just "for the money", but all around.
Shipping
We arrived at the campsite after dark and i set up the tent for the first time with only a headlamp for light.
I ordered that specially for two month trip.
Packaging/appearance
We (my wife and myself) used it almost every day during our trip, and we enjoyed very easy and quick installation and quick packaging.
Easy to pack away, and fits nicely inside my pack, i only use 6 stakes out of the 10, and don’t use the footprint that it came with.
Light for a 2-person back packing tent.
Competitiveness
We were able to compare the naturehike mongar 2 side-by-side to several other tents of same basic design, price range, weight and features.
As other reviewers mention, this tent compares favorably with much more expensive tents.
While the msr “maybe” slightly more refined the monger 2 is a much better value.
For comparison, i have an rei half-dome (budget) and a big agnes hv ul (premium).

Sure i can slap duct tape over them but was hoping for a more durable fabric
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It’s a stand alone design but i did use the provided pegs because of the gusting wind
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It stood up to high winds and even heavy wet snow well
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The draw back to this design is that wet snow can collect on top

I did have to bang the snow off during the night to keep it from crushing the tent the poles seemed to handle the weight but i didnt want to risk it
