Re: [Philmont]: Eureka Exo question

My sons carried the Exo at Philmont and did not have a significant problem
with it. Living in Michigan the tent has some problem with condensation
and at first we had some leakage on the shakedown hikes but a little seam
sealer fixed that. It definitely would not be a tent I would want to take
to the south/Florida but it was OK at Philmont for a 16 and 17 year old.
They really liked the light weight.

I've got a Eureka Exo (single wall) which I've found to be awful on
the AT here in the humid east. While it doesn't leak, condensation
makes it as wet on the inside as you can imagine (of course Maryland
seems to have turned into a rainforest this spring). Looks neat, very
roomy and light, but...

Has anyone tried this or a similar design in the southeast (i.e.
Philmont?). Seems like it would work better where the humidity was
somewhat less than 100%, but I'd need some reasurance on that before I
tried it :-)

thanks
