How is the tent in rain/wet weather? Much Condensation? Easy to pitch?

[bcier]

Its pretty good in the rain/wet weather. I've used it a lot in southwest BC this winter (near Vancouver). I keep my feet by the door and my head by the rear tunnel vent. I also leave the top of the door open a crack while still have the having the external storm flap protecting it. I haven't noticed any condensation on the eVent walls but I did notice some condensation on the metal poles. Its pretty easy to pitch. In a storm I drape the shelter over my body with my head at the vent and then I insert the poles from within standing up.

Having used a tent like this, the only thing I would say is that without a peak you have to really seal the thing up in heavy rain, not an issue of leaks but of oppressiveness.

For a year round tent I think I prefer the ID Wedge because of the vestibule which is so nice in the rain, for a winter tent I prefer the Firstlight b/c the height makes a big difference when I do not need waterproofing. The Rab seems somewhat in between.

That said the eVent fabric is awesome; my partner called my Rab the 'love nest' though, he preferred not to go in 8D

That's a great sales point for the hardman where alpine climbing isn't quite oppressive enough...
