Condensation in Single-Skin Tents: Causes and Mitigation Single-skin tents are great for weight saving, but there is one big issue: the ongoing battle with condensation. If you're waking up to damp walls in your single-skin tent, then you’re not alone. Condensation is one of the biggest challenges for ultralight campers – but understanding why it happens (and how to reduce it) can make all the difference. Our guide breaks down the causes and practical ways to manage it on your next trip.

Our Guide to Single Skin Tents

The Science of Condensation Condensation occurs when warm, humid air comes into contact with a cooler surface, such as the Tent fabric. This is a phase transition in which gas transforms into liquid. The gaseous water vapour condenses into liquid water droplets as the warm air hits the cold tent walls. Several factors contribute to creating the warm, moist air inside tents that leads to condensation issues:

Temperature variations: When the inner tent temperature is significantly higher than the outdoor temperature, condensation will form on the cooler tent surfaces. Humidity: High humidity levels in the surrounding air contribute to condensation, as more moisture in the air leads to increased water on the tent walls. Respiration: Each time you exhale, you release warm air saturated with water vapour from your lungs. With one person, this can add up to a pint of water released overnight... read more here.

Although some condensation is unavoidable while camping, there are ways to reduce its impact.​ Read our guide below for more information.
