got me stumped as Im a hot sleeper,normally have at least and arm and head out of bag...but dont have issues like you are having.

Nope no hood on the Aegismax at all I usually wear a Merino beanie to bed. I might see if dropping an arm out helps only thing is temps are dropping again so not sure if that will work if I want to sleep. Its got me stumped too. To be fair i will get to spend some time in a cold but dry environment next November so will test it out then.

I wont even cook in the tarp now as I'm paranoid about this condensation. I also completely swap cloths before bed and put all my used clothes in a dry bag under the vestibule or right near the front of the fly.

maybe something to consider, depends on what side of the coin you view,
my understanding they are used more in dry cold alpine climates

I will look at this more. I have used a mylar bag before on a trip a tent got destroyed but put the bag inside. Might give this a go.

I might try this even I have had thyroid issue in the past so maybe its being triggered in the cold or something.

Not really have brought a tent and a fly trying to solve it. Also the macpac is water repellent and has dwr coated down. It is very good and seems to keep the moisture in the outer part of the bag.
