MSR Fling Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Light and funky single wall

I've had this fantastically lightweight tent for more than 2 yrs now and it has done what it is supposed to do-as a single wall-quite well. It has a fun, creative design, with MSRs wonderful orange color to brightly light up the tent. If I liked single wall tents then I think I'd keep this tent for a long time. Unfortunately, because of this tent, I've discovered I don't like single walls because when they get packed wet, they get unfurled wet. With a double wall at least the tent body can remain dry. The Fling accumulates condensation quite easily, even with only one person in the tent, although it does flow down the sides and out the vents exceedingly well. For me, though, this means that every morning I have to dry out the inside of the tent - a pain. I found myself worrying about having a wet tent whenever I used it, so I've switched to a double wall. BUT, again, if you like single wall tents and don't mind condensation build up, then the Fling could be great for you.
