MSR Fling Tent 2-Person 3-Season Details

How Backcountry describes the Fling Tent 2-Person 3-Season
Weighing only 3lb 6oz, the Fling is the lightest free-standing 2-person 3-season tent that MSR makes. The Fling comfortably sleeps two campers with room for gear. An awning over the door provides a place to cook out of the rain. This MSR tent is made with waterproof seam-taped silicone-impregnated nylon and has large side vents to keep the air flowing. If having a free-standing tent is less important than weight, leave the top pole at home. The Fling tent can be pitched without it.

"Avoid this Tent Except for Desert Camping I purchased the Fling tent this spring, and used it for the first time during a 6-day backpacking trip in Colorado's Indian Peaks Wilderness in August. Its light and very roomy, but condensation was a major problem. The inner walls of the tent were soaked 5 out of 6 mornings. We set up the tent in the prescribed manner, and also tried variations, to increase ventilation, but nothing helped. Our camps were between 10,400 and 11,000 ft with no precipitation, but we slept damp every night due to condensation. I cannot recommend this tent except for camping in arid areas."
A Backcountry customer said
" Fling with care is recommended Great tent for space/weight ratio. I recommend you put your boots and backpack in a garbage bag outside the tent and carry a small sponge or modesty towel as the Japanese call it to wipe down the inside of the tent. These things may take an extra minute to do, but makes for dryer more comfortable living on the longer/cooler/wetter trips. As you can tell I love this tent."
A Backcountry customer said
" Great ultralight tent I purchased this tent last summer specifically for a trip to Isle Royale National Park. I was looking for a two person tent that was light enough to carry solo yet have plenty of room for my stuff and my gear. This tent fit the bill. Temps ranged from 40-60, it rained quite hard one night, and like the previous reviewer I did notice some condensation. I however did not think it was excessive considering its single wall design. If you properly stake the guy lines and make sure the vents are open, it shouldn't cause a problem. All in all a great design and I'd definitely recommend it. Probably the lightest 2 person freestanding tent you'll find."
