Here is my review of the 2026 Kuiu Storm Star 2P backpacking tent. This is a 4 season tent to be used wild camping in adverse weather conditions. The 2 person tent is spacious, well made and packed full of features.
Kuiu is a hunting brand lessor known for it's backpacking gear and camping gear. Because of this, there are some quirks with this tent, good and bad.
It makes a great winter tent. It feels solid, the fly comes low, it has a solid inner, good ventilation, thick materials, waterproof rating, etc, etc.
My person likes of the Kuiu Storm Star tent.
Quality of materials and fixings

Weatherproofness
Value for money (depending on current sale price)
