Is this tent Water proof? Guide Gear has a bad habit of not waterproofing.

I didn't find it very waterproof, it is a really fun tent for daytime use in fairly good weather, but not for the rain!

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

I don't know yet. I bought a can of silicone sealer at dicks just in case. My camping trip is in June.

All Coleman tents are rain proof. Since this is a three season tent, the fabric does not go all the way to the top so if it was real windy, the rain might come in under the rain fly. This is our third Coleman and we have used them for 25 years. They work well.

It is not waterproof. However, I have had mine in the rain and it is more water resistant than a regular nylon pack. You can get a cheap raincover for it from REI or another outdoors store. I highly recommend this pack. It is great for backpacking and hunting. It is big enough that I usualy bring too much stuff with me, but it carries well.

We got to test out it's waterproof ability this year, when it poured so hard that we made trenches to send the water away from the tent and site. Two torrential storms went through that brought a lot of rain and wind. The water had risen to 3 inches up the side of the tent, but did not get inside at all. One thing we do find is that there will be condensation which ends up underneath the inflatable pads under the sleeping bags. This comes from sweating overnight, not from rain getting inside. We just open it up during the day to let it air out. You're not going to want to do that in the rain so it'll be difficult to get rid of the condensation, which there will be more of if you go into the tent wet. You definitely want a layer under your sleeping bag especially if you are going to be in those conditions for that amount of time.

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 )

I don't think so. I have only been seriously rained on once since having it and I keep a cover handy to cover my pack for those occasions ... pretty sure not waterproof but I can tell you it is an excellent pack and the frame is very sturdy. I use it for hiking camping so external frame is great. Have had it out on a least 8 trips now. Hope that helps.

I would not call it waterproof. Mine has been camping in the rain and it survived quite well, but I would be wary of using it in really wet conditions.

Yes and no. I it rains hard and the water pool it will leak a little. Simple push the water off the tent and it tops leaking .It is an AWESOME tent!!!!

Not water resistant at all if it's left outside. Perhaps can withstand a light rain moving from one place to another but that's it. I think you could help it a little with water proofer like what you use on tents, shoes, etc but that's just for a light protection.

In testing it means the fabric will shead water and have minimal pass-through. For truly waterproof you need a fabric that has something more than a DWR coating. Silnylon is this. This is what tents are made of. -rpm

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price.I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior.Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

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.

I live in New Mexico, and we do not see much rain. Although Honda claims the high guality polyester is water proof, it does have a rain jacket. I absolutly love my tent. No complaint from me, although I do welcome any rain!

I used the Coleman tent sealer on this one right after I got it. The first time I pitched it was in the back yard and I sealed it then and left it up overnight to be sure the sealer dried before I packed it up. I will spray the seams with Kiwi Camp Dry once a year now. So far there has been no water in this tent. On the last camping trip we got 3 consecutive days with at least 2 hours of steady rain including some hard driving downpours and this tent did not leak a single drop on us.

I haven't used it in rain yet. However, we always have a tarp prepared just in case. I can't imagine that any tent is perfect! This tent is awesome though

My experience is the water collects against the ground. And, your tent floor should be sealed and doing the real work of keeping water out. The ground cloth, more than anything, protects the tent floor from rocks and abrasions

No,it's not waterproof. I keep mine in a large zip lok bag when backpacking here in the Pacific North West. Get's pretty wet around here and this seems to work out. A small dry bag is also a good option. Hope this helps.
