Love and hate your reviews. Love'em because of the great detail and non bias review, hate them because i find my wallet lighter after too many of them! 😂

[ebony]

There is nobody who gives a more professional, honest and no bs review than you. I appreciate your hard work.

[yoitired]

I keep watching reviews for tents I'd never be interested in, it's just so addictive.

I bought the Stella after your first review. I waited for it to get cold and took it to the mountains of West Virginia. It was 12F outside. Like you said, it was 10 degrees warmer in the tent just from my body heat. I had it set up in a shady area, but the black fly in sunlight would be super toasty. The tent is very compact and relatively lightweight so I wouldn’t hesitate to take it backpacking. I agree that it would be miserable in warm weather, but I was so impressed with it that I got the Cosmitto 2.0 for warm weather. I also got the Cosmitto footprint which I think will fit the Stella. Luke, you have turned me into a tent fanatic. I keep buying tents after watching your videos. My wife is starting to get concerned.

Purchased this tent on your recommendation, and I am not disappointed. This tent is really really nice, and not expensive. I have taken it out twice now 4 nights total. So far the coldest temps were 13 degrees outside (no snow or ice). In the morning the inside of the tent was 28F and outside was 13F, no heat source besides my 5’ 7” mass. I had a very small amount or moisture on the inside. Very pleased.

I only have 2 negatives which you have already touched on in your videos.

1. The poles do not stay in place while assembling. They tent to pop out of the hole when trying to erect from the other side. Not a big deal but can be annoying.
2. The rain fly does not tie up and out of the way well. With only the one tie it hangs in your way while entering/leaving the tent.

If they made this in a 3 man version I would buy about 8 of them for my Troop. Even though this does sleep 2 people (both using 25” wide pads), there is no place left for your gear. So to me it’s still just a perfect size 1 man tent.

Just put a bungee on the middle tie out points and the pitch will improve and the sagging will diminish - it also helps with catching wind load (or when you trip on a stake).

Fantastic looking tent. Most of the cons can be fixed very easily. The side tie outs for instance can be taken care of with adjustable sliders and a bit more cordage. The tent stake knots are really no big deal either and easily remedied. Yep, can't imagine why they don't properly mark the tent bag. A silver sharpie can take care of this but, yea, printed on in white would be a great touch. Though it may seem like a small deal, the tent bag being properly sized is a huge deal. I don't get why equipment manf. skimp on their bags. It is as if the head of R&D asks, "How easy was it to get back in the bag?" "OH, it was real easy!" R&D, " Make it smaller then." The price is incredible and it is an awesome looking tent.

Hi Luke
I was looking at this tent and after seeing your test on how waterproof it was i went out and brought it, being even better as it was on Amazon black Friday deal and got 20% off. so rather that £199 pounds i got it for £159 pounds ( $249 dollars before discount to $199 dollars after)
I live in the UK and we know how it can be a tad wet over here, my first night out in it air temp was 1 degree or 34 F and i was toasty in this tent, the wind was 12 Mph before battery ran out on anemometer and gave windchill of -4 (25F) i was concerned where the fly didn't touch the ground that i might be drafty inside, but this not the case, the inner done it's job. I cannot wait to take it back out and use my tarp along with it.

[ArtofHunter]

I bought this tent as well and have used it a number of times in the cold and I've been very impressed by it. It traps in heat very well and even as windy as it was on top of a mountain it kept wind out.

Nice review on this tent, Luke, and cudos to One Tigris for making a QUALITY tent !! Very few tents sold in the US have this level of HH, or hydrostatic head, (a measure of how waterproof the tent will be), at 3000 hh. Most tent makers only have an HH rating of less than 1000 - 2000 hh, of which is acceptable for a light shower or moderate rain for short durations. If you are talking serious bad weather for prolonged periods over several years use, these hh ratings won’t cut it imo. That is why european tents have higher HH ratings of 3000 - 6000 hh, due to the increased rainfall experienced in areas such as in the UK, Germany, etc. More US tent makers should improve their HH ratings, (not to mention quality control), so that those wanting a tent that can handle adverse conditions, an emergency tent for unknown weather conditions, etc. can have reliable options. The LAST thing you want on a backcountry trip is having to repair your shelter or having it fail during a storm. I understand that this tent is a sole purpose winter only tent, but for what it is, ESPECIALLY for the price, this is a No Brainer for winter campers/backpackers or preppers looking for a quality winter tent option that won’t break the bank.

If I can get a well reviewed 4 season tent at a good price, I take no issue with labeling the storage sack myself. Thanks for your dedicated work on this channel Luke.

[goemboeck]

I love mine to bits, agree with everything said in this review.
Onetigris mistakenly sent me their camping table instead of the tent, and afterwards they didn't want it back so I got two of their products for the price of the tent.

Camped in my new Stella on New Years. Got around 27° F that night. Tent performed great for the weather. No cold air blowing inside tent and no condensation issues. Tent looks great too!. Waiting for a rain test night. Zippers are very smooth. Just make sure when you go to bed for the night those zippers are all the way closed. The little flap where the zippers meet kind of blocks your view. I noticed the next morning that one door was not fully zipped that caused a slight gap. I also used the Cosmitto footprint that also fits the Stella.

'There is one color and you are looking at it.' Beautiful delivery 😂

[rthompson]

I love mine as well and it is a True 4-Season tent, not 3, not 2 but 4-season only! Almost forgot I fixed those side stake out points by using some paracord and some Plastic Cord Locks End Spring Stop Toggle Stoppers as adjusters. Be sure to allow for enough length to the stakes. I used the other stakeout lengths as a guide.

[alanclarkson]

Luke, thank you for this review! I've been looking into getting a 4-Season tent recently. I've had my eye on the Stella. I think I've made my decision. You couldn't have done this review at a better time. Thanks brother!

[donrobinson]

Suggest you try Dutchware Ringworm. It is a simple solution to guys or tieouts. Order it with the Zingit cord and the shock cord loop. You’ll never have to tie another tautline hitch. Perfect for the side guys on this tent.

[takl]

I own this tent. Every thing he says is true. My cons are the black fly and vestibule. It blocks so much light you need lamps sooner than you’d think. The vestibules are tiny. Otherwise at temps below 50f I’d recommend it.

[neiloevocati]

Always look forward to your Reviews, ....I'm sold on the Tent

[bon]

Looking forward to using my new Stella this winter. The Naturehike Mongar will be my tent choice for summer.
