Thanks! I'll check out LightHeart Gear as well. Does the Duplex design with the bug netting around the bottom function as designed in terms of giving condensation a way to run out of the tent...

Sorry, I wasn't being very clear. You answered my question in any case. :)

Guys, I really appreciate all the perspectives in this thread. This is all very helpful to me. It sounds like my choice is between silnylon and the sagging issues and cuben fiber with its...

Ah, you did find that you were readjusting it multiple times? Given that the Duplex is a single-wall tent, how does it compare to the Notch in terms of condensation in your experience? Thanks!
