Black Diamond Skylight Tent: 3-Person 3-Season
Great tent, still some condensation

My son and I used this tent on a 12-day Philmont, NM backpacking trip. The quality of materials and construction of the tent were very good. During 5 days of rain, not a drop of water came into the tent. The only negative was that on nights when temperatures dropped 40F plus degrees, there was condensation on the inside of the tent. It was much less than other tents in our crew (just dew, no dripping), however in articles I had previously read about this tent, others claimed there was no condensation at all. The tent stakes are the best I have ever used. Overall, very good equipment.
