Great Tent Bad Vent

Ranked #24 - 3-Season Tents
April 27, 2007
This is a great 2 person tent. Relatively light, only 4 pieces, only draw back is ventilation. If you do not position the tent directly into the prevailing wind condensation city. Only way I found to cure the problem was propping the back vent open more. Usually with a pen. Make sure you leave the front vestibule open at least 4 or 5 inches for good air flow. Super easy to setup and take down. Used for 2 weeks hiking the AT. Would be great in any weather conditions, downpours, windstorms, etc.
