The tent is simple to pitch; there are two lightweight, colour-coded alloy poles and the inner is attached to the flysheet so you can put it up in one go. It uses waterproof materials and it's seam-taped against the elements, with plenty of ventilation included. A well featured, reliable, waterproof, 3-season tent. We’ve used tried and tested Wild Country fabrics, included vents to help manage ventilation and condensation and the tent is seam-sealed to provide excellent protection from the elements. Ventilate your tent!: The most effective way to prevent condensation is to ventilate your tent and reduce the internal humidity of your tent by promoting a good airflow. Examine your tent for low and high venting options and open them to let the moist air flow out. If the weather conditions permit, leave the upper and lower sections of the door open, mesh sections can be kept fully zipped. If appropriate, also ensure vents at the rear of the tent are fully open. Make sure the vents are not obstructed by bags or sleeping bodies. Don’t touch the sides: If pressure is applied to the tent walls of a polycotton tent, water may seep through. Keep bags and other items away from tent walls and be mindful that condensation can collect at the foot of AirBeams.

The Coshee 2 comes with lightweight Wild Country Superflex alloy poles which offer superb reliability and strength and they’re colour coded to simplify pitching. For the size of the tent, the full-length door maximises the amount of porch space for storing gear.

Store wet stuff outside: Towels, boots, waterproofs, swimming trunks, sweaty friends… keep that soggy, wet stuff out of the tent. Use an awning, tarp or hub to provide storage for wet kit. If you have used this product please leave a review, or your comments for other visitors, many thanks! Condensation can be made worse when the air outside the tent is significantly cooler than inside, especially after a warm, humid day. On days where there is a substantial temperature drop, it can be challenging to prevent tent condensation forming. Pitch in a spot that gets a natural breeze: Sheltered areas are more prone to generating condensation. Pitch your tent so that vents are lined up with the prevailing winds. Turn heaters off: Further warming the air inside the tent will increase water vapour in the air as warm air can support more moisture (our techy guys talk about dew points and percentage humidity), plus the warmer the tent is the more moisture will be released into the tent through evaporation and perspiration. Instead of heating the tent, warm yourself up with the right clothing and good sleeping bags.

Tents designed with good ventilation and an inner tent will fair best. In certain weather conditions, the design of any tent can be overwhelmed by moisture. For example, if it is a cold night and there is no breeze to circulate the warm, moist air out of the tent, condensation is likely to form.Target user: The more cost-conscious camper who requires Wild Country performance but not necessarily all of the frills. There are currently no images uploaded by members for this Tent. If you have a photo, be the first to upload one.

Don’t pitch too close to water: Rivers and lakes can increase humidity. Pitching your tent, a little further away from water sources can help reduce condensation. Never cook inside: Primarily for safety but cooking also releases large amounts of moisture into the air. Remember that extractor fan in the kitchen at home? I was also very happy that my extra-wide Thermarest Neo Air X-therm mat fit inside nicely, however I doubt that the ‘extra long’ (or squared off variety mats) would fit inside of it! It seemed to be a nice warm little space when fully zipped in, just hope that it doesn’t suffer from condensation issues with being so compact, but only time will tell on that one.

Specifications

Target user: The outdoor enthusiast looking for good quality and reliability in an easy-to-use and affordable tent. Its high-performance flysheet and groundsheet fabrics are fully taped to provide complete protection from the elements. This 'wedge' style tunnel tent has 2 doors and 2 porches, so easy access for occupants and ample storage space for gear. Did you know that 1 person can produce up to 1 pint of condensation per night? So, let’s say you have 5 people in a tent, that is potentially 5 pints of water inside your tent! Other likely sources of moisture are wet shoes, clothes, dogs, cooking, even the air itself! Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, as the temperature falls at night the more moisture is released into the air. Fact, even without occupants, the air in a six-man tent holds approximately 1 pint of water!
