TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.mountain hardware single walled tent

My friend had a MH EV2 which was used in nepal with no problems. We then took it to the blue mountains on an humid 28 degree day and in the morning i saw tiny water droplets on the inside wall. my sleeping bag appeared dry, but my friend's sleeping bag had damp patches. ON the second day: roughly similar temperatures but it rained and I didnt notice any more condensation than the night before. Imagine you had a cold beer, and left it there on your table. condensation built up to the point it looked like that. if you tap it then it would be misty inside the tent, but i dont think rain penetrated the fabric.
I have a black diamond tent which also has some serious condensation issues, aswell as water seeping through the fabric in hard rain. so i would prefer the ev2 over my lighthouse tent.
i think the tent is abit cosy for 2 people because our 2 thermarests overlapped abit. quality is awesome, and it seems to be a very stable tent. PM me if you need some photos.
