Maybe all this loss of moisture is why I'm usually cold. Too much evaporative cooling.
That is odd, but you are not the first to complain of this. I get zero condensation under the SB, down on the pad or in the UC, IF I use a space blanket. I have had a fair amount at least one time when I didn't use the SB.
It is hard to understand why a vapor barrier space blanket ( assuming true WP vapor barrier) would allow moisture to pass through to the pad, which is completely covered with the SB/VB.
I'm not doubting you at all, in fact I have seen this complaint before. It is just sort of a mystery to me, and something I have not experienced.
Is it- like with CCF pads- a matter of how much of a back sweater a person is? Though I still don't see why moisture would get past the SB to the pad no matter how much you sweat. Until it pooled enough to over floe the edges of the VB anyway.
Any thoughts on this? Other SS users, what are your experiences re: condensation with and without a true vapor barrier/space blanket?
