User Review: SwissGear Hiker Tent

Reviewed March 14, 2007 by apgwheeler

Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: easy
Weight: under 3 lbs.
Price Paid: $39

The other reviews do tell pretty the story of how convenient this tent is. Easy, simple, light, big enough for 2, but great for 1, and innovative. Fairly waterproof when seam sealed, too.

But here's the reasoning behind the 2 star review: I've never been in a tent with more condensations. This was set up in August in the Northeast, and the temps really dropped at night. But this was ridiculous. Possible the condensation would be better with one user? Sure, but still, it just doesn't have the ventilation necessary to make it on the trail. Car camping probably ok, but if you are camping, what do you care about carry weight and size?!
