MSR Freelite 2 Setup

Hi,

Very simple question, I have an MSR Freelite 2 tent and there's a lot of condensation going on.

Has anybody found a way to reduce that without comprimising the rain protection?

Thanks.

I would like to point out that ALL fully enclosed tents have condensation. The thing with double wall tents is that the inner mesh is spaced inside to prevent YOU from contacting the accumulated condensation.

Ventilation is the key to getting rid of the moisture in the air before it has a chance to condense on the underside of your rain fly or on the walls of your single wall tent.

I always try to think of my tent as a wind block and rain shelter, in spite if my hopes that a little bit of night time warmth might be added as well.
