Hi, does the Kelty Coyote 80 need the external rain fly/cover ? I am assuming it does not come with one. Thanks for your replies !

Mine did not come w/ a cover. Bought through Amazon. Very happy with it....

Definitely has a rain fly. This thing weathered a severe thunderstorm with 50+ mph winds during RAGBRAI 2012. Had a little leakage at the seams... but we stayed dry for most of it. I'll use it again.

decent in moderate rain i got some water in the tent you need a tarp underneath even though the bottom liner is waterproof. the tent is very roomy. takes 4 to set up it can be done with 2. the rain fly holds up great as long as you bring a decent tarp you'll be fine.

Yea Vlad, that happens with almost all tents that don't have a "all covering" rain fly. Something to consider, just use a regular ol' light weight tarp for situations that you might incur rain. Works perfect. I thought that adding spray on water proofing would work to resolve that issue, but has limited efficacy.

You need a rain fly with any tent but I had it up in the rain once without the fly and it didn't leak. Other reviewers have had a different experience. If you are planning on camping in the rain, get the fly.

Yeah there is no rain cover, but honestly you could just buy one separate or make shift your own.

No rain fly - I have this hammock and I just use a cheap tarp from a hardware store. The cheap ones are surprisingly light weight. That way I can get it a bit bigger and keep my gear dry. Or if it's nice, there's a million other things I use tarps for.

It includes the rainfly. Its a great tent ive lived in it for almost four months. Although, the rainfly did tear, i was able to repair it with duct tape. The rainfly is great for shielding the sun, as the ceiling is white and allows in all light. Ive never had any problems with the tent taking on water even in extremely heavy rain showers

I ordered the cargo net with my unit. I did not see an option for a rain cover.

That would not be practical. At all. Classic Accessories 10-019-261001-00 Overdrive Polypro III cover on my Durango sheds most water. You want some breathability or you risk mold or paint damage. You want a snug fit. Classic has elastic gathers. Rain-X has better tie downs. Add additional paracord as needed if you park in the wind. Both brands are better made than Budge UD 1 or 2.

I would go with a medium size mountainsmith rain fly as the small just covers my 35 liter bagyes, these covers or water resistant up to a heavy rain thru thick wood and brush.

I just recieved my Kamp Rite tent/cot. The box says the rainfly is included, but ... NO rainfly. Highly disappointed

No rain cover I'm not sure if it's the newer version but I will have this pack for a very long time it's great. It's roomy well thought out storage compartments, and we'll made.

My sons used the Coyote 80 for Philmont which was a 10 day 80 mile backpacking trip, but their body frames are a fair bit smaller than yours. I also accompanied them and am comparable in size 6'0", 200lb and used the Kelty Red Cloud 90. It worked out great. You may also want to look at the Red Cloud 110.

I purchased the 41 at a local camera shop last week. There was a pouch labeled rain cover and it did contain a cover.

No it doesn't. The smaller pack has a waterproof internal liner. I haven't had any issues with my gear getting wet, but I'm not in the rain too much either.
