"Avoid this Tent Except for Desert Camping" - Review of MSR Fling Tent 2-Person 3-Season

I purchased the Fling tent this spring, and used it for the first time during a 6-day backpacking trip in Colorado's Indian Peaks Wilderness in August. It’s light and very roomy, but condensation was a major problem. The inner walls of the tent were soaked 5 out of 6 mornings. We set up the tent in the prescribed manner, and also tried variations, to increase ventilation, but nothing helped. Our camps were between 10,400 and 11,000 ft with no precipitation, but we slept damp every night due to condensation. I cannot recommend this tent except for camping in arid areas.
