Does it have a rain fly option or is it water resistent enough in mild rain? I live in colorado and summer afternoon rain showers are to be expected.

Hi tiffany, No rain fly but reasonably water resistant. I'd still say treat it with a sealant beforehand but I took it out in a November rainstorm and it was fine without.

These hold up under wind, rain & snow. Just use KampDry before you take it out. Might want a tarp for the ground...

im in California and its pretty dry at this time. id say a lite rain you'd be ok and i know there's some rain proffer you can get. that may help. but any thing heavier than the mist from your water hose you may want to up grade

Mine doesn't have a rain fly so I sprayed it with waterproofing spray, but I've never had to put it to the test.

I don't know what a fly option is as I'm not camping savy but it has been rained on as well as snowed on and the interior stayed dry. Of course it was all zipped up everywhere. I hope that helps.

I don't know... it was a gift for my niece and nephew. Sorry I'm not much help.

I never had a problem with rain with this tent. If rain + strong winds, there's always a chance rain can fly side and underneath rain fly. No matter what tent you get, that will happen. But the rainfly fits on like a glove. You can apply Grangers water proof spray on the rainfly to reinforce the water proofing.

thanks for the post. I do not know which type to buy. it is confusing that many reviews state that there are little or no leaks without a fly. I do like the instant design though. However, the pics of the hub at the top into which all the "rails" must fit makes the hub frail looking. we camp in rainy weather at times in SE U.S. and Colorado/Wyoming Rockies. my grandson just returned from camping in the Smoky mountains in a Coleman 3 person tent with a fly and said there was almost no leaking in rainy weather even though he had not added a seal to the seams.

No the fly sheet is fully waterproof as it arrives: this tent is still going strong years after I bought it : it's my go to four season tent (although I have something smaller and lighter for alpine backpacking )

Patricia,there is full rain fly for light to moderate rains; i wouldn't use the tent during extreme downpours without additional protection.Irina

yes it comes with the rain fly, this past summer here in idaho we didn't use the fly at all as it was great to look up at the stars while laying on our air bed, left the windows open, no moisture an the breeze blowing through the tent felt so good, do try it.

Hello. There is no fly available. I had to double soak it with a water wicking spray. Also during expectations of heavy downpour I cover it with a tarp as just about any tent would need to be. I wasn't impressed at all with this tent. It is clearly not a 4 season tent. Well it is IF a season doesn't have wind driven sheets of rain. It does well in snow however. Summers are hot without use of a tent fan. Just my two cents worth

Yes the rain fly comes with the tent and it's necessary as the whole roof is screened and open (a real nice feature on hot days)... Also, I would suggest keeping the rain fly on at all times, even if it isn't going to rain, because the screen roof collects dew and 3-5am dew drops are no fun...

Yes, you would definitely be able to stay dry during a light rain. Any tent rain fly is going to get saturated when there is a significant amount of rain but Coleman is a great product and unless you get lots of rain, you'll be safe.

Yes it does.....I wish I would have asked that question before I ordered because I ordered the rainfly so now they have 2....probably can use it someplace else when it rains!!LOL

I had it in sun last year. No problem. I had it at the edge of my very small yard. If flies are as bad this summer, I will get another.

I have not used it without the Rain fly, with the rain fly I was able to stay dry during 3 days of nearly steady rain. It was "moist" inside on the last day, I think due to condensation as much as the rain. Could not open the windows for air.

I purchased 2 of the tents, the tents themselves are waterproof.....with the rain fly....it just means you can open the screens on top without rain getting in.....I purchased both tents and rain fly.....I have gone thru some pretty rugged camp in....and I have not had any leak issues

It does but it's only good for short storms. It even handled some light hail one day. We did on the other hand, used it during an all day rain event and we got very wet inside. It can leak from my experience. It is a nice and roomy tent but I recommend using some waterproof sealer on the rain fly.Chris

It doesn't matter. The rain fly doesnt't fit. The pole broke the first time I set it up. I could only recommend this for camping in your backyard at most. This thing is useless. If you want one just send me your address and I'll give you mine for free. Do not buy it.

I don't know if it's something you can purchase from the manufacturer, but I wouldn't think so. It does not need a rain fly, though, because the roof is water resistant. We just got back from a 9 day camping trip of which we had heavy rain for 6 of those days and the screen room barely leaked. It really has been a good purchase. My parents bought one too based on ours. Hope this helps.

There is no rain resistances. I found that out to late when it rained. I went back and read descprition and it does say that. It has small metal stacks you hammer into ground but I have felt with enough tents in wind that you always use some kind of weights. It is a nice set up so I was disappointed in it not being water resistance.
