Nemo designed the Tenshi mountaineering tent to combat condensation. The Nemo Tenshi is constructed of waterproof and highly breathable eVENT fabric (much more breathable than Gore-Tex or other laminate fabrics and now rarely available in tents). The Tenshi tent has three vents, a rear window with bug screen, a retractable awning for extra ventilation, and a removable "condensation curtain." All of these extras come at the price of weight - about 5.5 pounds for the minimum package. The Nemo Tenshi is taller, at 45 inches, than several comparable tents which, of course, also has advantages and disadvantages.
