Anyone have any experience using this tent. I just got it seems to be well built and roomy for the weight.

I have one (the original "Walrus" model pre MSR) and used it a lot before I switched over to a tarptent. They pitch very tight and are extremely wind weather worthy. Also, the rain fly goes all the way to the ground on all sides which prevents splashback during downpours. All in all a great solo tent in that weight range.

Use the vent!

Use the vent!==============================
That's probably good advice. My model didn't have a vent but to be honest I never did have a condensation problem that I can remember.

Used the Zoid 1 for my AT hike, and later for a coast to coast bike trip. Works for me.

I used a Zoid 1 for a couple of years, and liked it a lot. Later I switched to a tarptent.com shelter which was lighter and roomier.

We used to have a Walrus Zoid 1.5, which was plenty of room for us two. We switched to the Mtn Hardwear Waypoint II to save some weight and we actually like it better.
