Just looked up the Borah - that looks like what I'm after. Just enough to keep wet misty stuff & spray off. I like how it doesn't bother with a waterproof face part as that's the part that is well covered by a tarp. You've found it to breath a-ok? No wet foot area on your sleeping bag? Is yours the argon or M50? I'm assuming its the Silnylon 30D floor rather than the Dyneema/Cuben?

Thanks.

I have gotten a little condensation around the head end but none in the footbox that I have noticed, and its never been enough to dampen my bag or anything. It packs down to nothing also. I like it. Mine is the M90 top

I have the sil bottom and that seems to be holding up well.
My only real complaint is that the pad does slip and slide on the sil a bit as it pretty slippery stuff, its not so bad I end up on the ground or anything though.
