    Kuiu storm star and mountain star

    Hey all

    Anyone have a kuiu tent storm or mountain star? I’m been doing my homework the hilleberg tents look great also just need a lot of real estate for a tunnel tent. The storm star looks really bomber, looking for first hand experience thanks

    I have the mountain star. Good not great. Perfect for one guy space wise. Not great in heavy weather, starts dripping. Super light to pack. Dries fast. Pretty quick set up.

    I had it out for several rotten days last year. Kept me dry but only if I stayed on my thermarest

    Is that a newer mountain star or one of the problematic first generation?

    Yeah but it drips on you a bit too. Not the best for the price of the tent

    Seems like you should get a tent that doesn’t leak at all for that money. The storm star has really great reviews just haven’t spoke with someone that owns one.

    I think I have a friend with one. I’ll ask him. If it’s the one I’m thinking of he had a bit of a struggle setting up

    My experience has been identical with the second version of the Mtn Star.
    It ain’t no Hillebberg.
