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)

Was it small in height? That was my concern as it seems to have a low ceiling compared to other 2 person backpacking tents

Yes, the ceiling hight is low IMO.

Yes, the ceiling hight is low IMO.

Thanks for the response. It’s been a super intriguing tent but can’t get over the 38-39” height. I’m thinking I’m gonna at least try out the tarp tent arc dome
