Mira II HL

The floor requires a higher water column to cope with the pressure created by standing or kneeling on the fabric floor.

Although it cannot always be prevented, there are several ways to reduce or eliminate the formation of condensation.

1. reduce or remove as much wet equipment as possible from inside the tent.

2. ventilate the tent when conditions permit.

3. use the appropriate tent floor (footprint) to create a barrier against the cold, wet ground.

4. use a small sponge to wipe off condensation.

Unfortunately, condensation cannot be completely eliminated from a tent design. Cool air must flow into the tent and warm air must be able to escape. If this is not possible, condensation will form. Whenever possible, ventilate the tent, either by opening a vent in the top of the flysheet or leaving the flysheet open all night. The goal is to create a cross flow that ventilates the tent and removes the warm air.

When you return from your trip, whether it's a weekend or several weeks, it's a good idea to put your tent up again in a dry place so it can dry out. Be sure to clean the interior, wipe off any dirt that has stuck to the underside, and clean all zippers with a damp, warm rag. If the tent has been used in dirty and/or sandy conditions, you can lightly spray it with water to loosen the dirt from the material, coating, seams and zippers.
