This excess moisture will cause you to sleep colder, and it will be absorbed by much of your clothing and sleeping bag. This is especially true of down sleeping bags. These items will need to dry during the day, which doesn't happen inside of a backpack. The tent and packtowel or bandana will also need to dry.<br /><br />Good ventilation is more important than the annoyance of water on the fabric of your tent in the morning. You are correct that well-ventilated tents are typically relatively heavy. Well designed tarps, on the other hand, have adjustable ventilation, allowing less ventilation in windy conditions and more in a rainstorm, when almost no tent will stay dry inside due to condensation. I prefer the Jardine designed tarp, but there are others that are light and adjustable as well.<br /><br />That said, I love my single-wall tent for winter use.Mike W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864130178222513400.post-69324668573913251002014-03-21T15:08:02.547-06:002014-03-21T15:08:02.547-06:00disposable dish towels like clorox handi-wipes are...disposable dish towels like clorox handi-wipes are featherweight, absorbant, reusable and even washablepeabody3000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864130178222513400.post-86497182859239030252014-03-21T11:34:55.544-06:002014-03-21T11:34:55.544-06:00Oooh you got me on the weight issue, and I would a...Oooh you got me on the weight issue, and I would also personally choose a bandana over a pack towel. But it is still nice to mop up as much of the condensation as possible before packing up a shelter, then dry out the bandana on the outside of my pack. I have had shelters so wet in the morning, including double-wall tents, that I could probably mop up and wring out a cup of water. And that is probably the big turn-off re SW tents for some backpackers. I just wanted to make the point that condensation doesn't have to be a big issue; you can simply wipe the tent walls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864130178222513400.post-76722984832528626502014-03-21T10:32:17.407-06:002014-03-21T10:32:17.407-06:00Per comment: "You don’t need to pack up a we...Per comment: "You don’t need to pack up a wet (heavier) shelter..."

Its nice not to brush against it as easily, but its also nice to wipe the walls down in the morning so you don't have to pack it up wet and carry that extra water weight all day. I will bet the moisture weights more than 0.9 ounce :) One could use a bandana to wipe down the tent walls, which is a multi-purpose item that can be used for other things, like a bandana.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864130178222513400.post-60314196544433551412014-03-18T13:37:53.035-06:002014-03-18T13:37:53.035-06:00Nerdy devil's advocate alert: Weight of Nano P...Nerdy devil's advocate alert: Weight of Nano Pack Towl is 0.9 oz. Weight of SUL Cuben Fiber is .34 oz/sq. yd. Once could feasibly own a single wall shelter that containing 2.64 more yards of fabric in trade for the weight of the towel thereby making it large enough not to have to worry about brushing against the shelter wall. samhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629434332640594984noreply@blogger.com
