Wet Environment:Wet ground or wet gear stored inside the tent.While no tent design can eliminate condensation, the key to reducing it is ventilation. Cooler, drier air has to flow into your tent and warm, moist air must escape. We have designed a variety of ways to do this. I still plan to get a lighter tent closer to 1.1 kg / 2 person, but in the meantime while I weigh up the finer points of which tent to get, and likely toddler proofness, I have to say I've been pleasantly surprised with the Star River 2.

You’ve got two separate doors, so you won’t have to climb over your tent buddy as you come and go. Each entry has a vestibule, so there’s plenty of room to store your kit. The outer fly is made from 20D Nylon, with a hydrostatic head rating of 4000mm. Although this is better than the more standard 2000mm, it’s still a little short of the 5000mm that some other 4-season tents offer. Still, it should be enough for all but the very wettest weather. The specs above both apply to the green and grey versions of the tent. The orange version is made of 210T Polyester, with a 3000mm head. The poles and pegs are both made of Aluminium. Size & Weight The secret? This is a one-layer tent, so no separated flysheets and inner mesh. I can hear some of you shouting “condensation!” but hear me out.

Naturehike Star River: Verdict

While it’s slightly more expensive than some of Naturehike’s other tents, the Star River 2 is still a great value for what you pay.

I've been pondering a new tent and had narrowed down my options to the MSR Hubba Hubba and the Big Agnes Copper Hull (although I was slightly concerned that this one might struggle in Scottish weather...)
