    I'm sure one of the pad-people will come along and help you out, but condensation is just part of it (for me) when I use a pad. Making a nylon pillowcase to put on the pad helps by wicking away some of the moisture instead of it pooling below you. Some people have also drilled small holes through their pads using the holes as drainage/ventilation to help reduce the condensation. Everybody has different results.

    For some of us, pads just aren't a viable option. People like me that tend to run warm at night anyway have serious condensation issues. I switched to UQs long ago for this very reason. Hope someone has a better answer for you.
    Trust nobody!
