- Please note: The CrossFlow design does have its limits and may not be appropriate for every user or all conditions. Moisture will condense on the interior in some hot muggy conditions or when there is little to no wind to assist the venting.
- Whenever possible all the vents should be left open. It is important to keep sleeping bags and other gear from blocking the perimeter vent to maintain maximum ventilation.
- With that said, Single-walled CrossFlow tents can be lighter, more compact, quicker to set up and cooler in summer heat
