Hi everyone, I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying your time outdoors!

I am looking into retiring my lightweight tent from the 80’s and getting a Naturehike Monga 2, the version with 20D nylon.

I watched some videos about this tent and noticed two potential downsides. 1.The fly of the tent leaves big openings in the vestibules. While this is good for ventilation, I worry that cold/strong winds could cause an (uncomfortable) draft inside the tent.

Which brings me to point 2

  1. The bathtub of the inner tent seems a bit low. The tent is mostly mesh, which makes it, paired with the gaps, I think, even more susceptible to drafts.

Does anyone know how the low tub performs in rain or if there is dirt and dust coming in through the mesh?

I know that the sleeping system is much more important to keep you comfy, and this tent is not designed to retain heat. But I would really like to avoid having a wind tunnel in my tent.

I’m mostly hiking in Europe between early spring and mid-autumn, so outside temperatures during the night could be anything between 3°C and 30°C.

Usually I try to avoid bad weather, but the weather can change quickly, especially in more mountainous regions.

At first I was eyeing the Monga UL 2 but I read there a issues with sagging during rain. Any info is welcome

Thanks in advance.
