How does it do in rain?

I want to buy this, but am afraid of all the leaking in the lights comment..I was thinking maybe if it was sprayed with silicone spray? Any feedback would be appreciated!

It is great! Coleman makes a great product. We take it camping with us and can play cards under the canopy while it's pouring - this canopy does NOT leak!

After a lot of research, I never expected this to be 100% rain-proof. It is a shade canopy. I bought this for it's shade and lighting. By design you have an open vent at the top of the roof. Also, the upper frame touches the seems at almost every point. I know in my tents if I have something touching the walls during a heavy rainstorm, water will eventually begin to "wick" through the fabric. I would suspect this effect works the same with this canopy. Sealing the seams should help some but probably won't prevent water dripping inside during heavy downpours.

You have to seal it with a spray. We bought it at Academy. It is like a spray to prevent water leaks. Then it was great!

Not too sure. Havent been on a trip with it where it rained. Had some issues in high wind and heavy rain, but I wasnt hear to see it fall apart. It os set up infront of my loft and while I was out of town there was a pretty good storm and the canopy broke in 5 spots.

Does great in the rain, no issues. Will not leak. This is very very well made. We love it. One if the best up in 60 we ever bought, and we have bought many....

Since my original comment, I had this on a 4 day camping trip in which this canopy was exposed to steady afternoon rain showers lasting between 2 and 3 hours in 3 of those days. On one of those days it was exposed to what I would call a torrential downpour for about 30 minutes. Never at any time did it spring a leak. I was actually expecting that it would during the torrential downpour but no matter how hard I looked for one it simply didn't happen.

I haven't had any problems in light rain, but I don't know how it would handle a heavy downpour.

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

it is lined nylon so it should be ok in a drizzle. My thinking is that it won't do in full on rain for long time. Very light weight, I use it to carry a jacket, hat etc for overseas travel.

Not sure if its water proof but it has been tough and done well in the rain.

It has a microphone, so I would not expose it to rain. It won't last and you will be disappointed.

It def. Is! Ive ridden in very heavy rain and I have not had a single problem. As long as youre not physically dipping it in water, rain water is not an issue. And to top it off, I had a problem with mine a while back due to it not charging and amazon customer service was AMAZING. Product was replaced and sent to me in ONE day. Recommend you purchase!

Seems to be good. Rain stays out. But I haven't been in any serious downpour with it. Otherwise it's pretty sweet.

Not advised, you dont see much on flying in the rain but I have had it start to rain and flew it back in with no issues.

I have used it in several heavy downpours here in Florida and while the back does get a little wet, the gear has always stayed dry. I wouldn't expect it to work in heavy rain for several hours, but it's stayed dry in heavy rain for up to an hour for me.

I've used it in light rains, and it's been perfectly fine. But, I've never used it in heavy rain.I imagine it would be fine, as long as the top is under your sleeve, and you aren't getting entirely drenched for a long time

Yes, I've been in the rain with it many times and have had no issues. I have also been in 98+ degree heat with a heat index of 108 sweating profusely without adverse effects.

I've had it in light rain and it's had a splash or two, but in heavy rain I'm not sure. I would not really recommended putting it in that position though.

Pretty much. I was never in a complete downpour, but it did stand the rain..
