I will also add a few comments regarding the naturehike mongar 2. I have had one for a while. It is pretty much the same tent as the Bush buck horizon 8000 and its a copy of the msr hubba hubba.

I have given mine a trashing, and its holding up good. Its a great design no doubt about it and offers all the flexibility that @dannyb mentions re fly/footprint combos etc. The reason I brought it at the time was that it was the cheapest option by far.

However the tent itself is only made of mosquito netting and can be cold at times even in the summer !!

I love it and will get my use out of it but next time it will be the hubba hubba for me. 4 seasons, bomber, mean design, better quality so will last longer.

I often wonder how the mongar would look after a big sub alpine storm, im not 100% confident and thats why its the hubba hubba for me next time !!

Definitely echo your sentiments its a 3 season tent at best, I'll be taking mine when I fly into the Whataroa next week.

Don't bother with a 1 man tent. I took one to Fiordland thinking all about saving weight and space etc.(I had a MSR Carbon 1) But when you are stuck in it for 3 days of pouring rain with no room to move it is like a prison. So I got a Big Agnes 2 man tent and it is awesome. It is on't 1000gm from memory, and that was only about 200gm heavier than the MSR Carbon 1! And I have got so much more room and that makes all the difference.
