Well, the storm star had delays and now are not scheduled until November. So I ordered new mountain star 2p today!

The new tent arrived Thursday when we were gone. It’s crazy how light this thing feels in the storage bag.

Can you take a look and let me know where it is made? I am assuming China but just curious

I’ll check it when I get a chance to get it out.

Negative, just the tension of the fly.

I have laid down in the previous Mountain Star and it was just the tiniest bit too short for me (but sort of ok if I sleep diagonal). I’m 6’-2” and when laying flat on my back my feet and head nearly touched simultaneously while laying on a thermarest xtherm.

The new version shows 1.5” longer than the original. Has anyone measured this to confirm? If anyone has a confirmed floor to floor interior measurement of the updated Mountainstar I would appreciate it.

I just got a one,old version but brand new,im 6 ft and the only thing I don’t like is its a little short,i just set up in living room but after the rain i will setup outside with pad and see how it feels.

Interesting to see an updated version.
I have had these since the first model came out, and had a couple broken.

Approached Kuiu last week to buy a new outer fly for mine(not knowing they had a new model) and due to the configuration being different they are sending me a brand new full tent for free. Which is pretty impressive, considering the damage to the older tent was not what I would call warranty(kea/bird damage)

Great service from Kuiu and a great tent for the weight

 

[NilsBackstrom]

For those looking for an official weight savings of this new model vs the previous it’s right at 3oz for carbon vs Carbon pole version. I reached out to Kuiu for this number.

Ok, do you you know the total weight for the fly, inner, stakes, poles and ground sheet?

 

[Coopsdaddy]

Is the new line locs on the stake points and longer stake out cordage worth adding to the older version.

I have had the Star for a year now and my buddy is running the Storm. Overall it was a great tent. I only have a couple complaints:
1. A bit small for my liking. I am 5'11" 180lbs.
2. I did have some condensation issues. Even though the tent seemed very well ventilated. I used it throughout the summer scouting. Put it through the paces in September and October in CO. (High winds, rain and snow)
