I have Luna solo and get some condensation.

When I wake up I just use a kitchen square cloth sponge type thing to wipe the inside and outside of the tent.

Wipe, rinse repeat.

Gets rid of any water.

Only cause I'm trying to tame my posting about their stuff. But yeah...the Altaplex would fit the bill. ~500g before poles/pegs.

Got the emergency pocket Hexamid; amazingly light, but definitely not something to be relied on in a true emergency as it struggles a bit when the wind is up, and I don't think it would cope at all with a storm.

Yes...their tarps can catch the wind in a storm. Their tents with the storm doors pulled down and cinched tight fix that.

It makes quite a difference, quite happy with my new one now.
