Is this tent snowproof?

yes it is, I just went camping in late November. I set the tent up with snow on the ground and on the second night about 2 inches of new snow fell and I had no problems. I camped last year with this tent in the rain and then in the bitter cold and for the price this tent is great. I use a candle lantern (nine hour candle) and it helps keeping warm. only thing I did this time was put a folded tarp under tent just to have more between me and the frozen ground. enjoy..

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "proof". Like all four season tents, this one is designed to support a heavy load of snow on the roof, and generally, to shed moisture of any kind, including snow. Speaking from experience, I can vouch for its durability. It is well worth the price.

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.

Personally, I haven't tried this tent in all four season. But I wouldn't go camping in the winter with it.

I would not recommend using this as an outdoor tent. It is not weather proof and has vinyl material.

It's not a 4 season tent. I used it down to the mid 20s and would say I was pushing it as far as being comfortable. It did keep the rain and sleet off, but any colder and it would not be comfortable to me. Pretty much the upper 2/3 of the tent is all mesh unless the rain fly is used.

No. I've had it for two years and haven't waterproofed it yet. Great tent. We were just in a very heavy long rain and the tent was dry.

Just to remind you, this is a winter tent. I would wake up sweating my ass off at any temperature over 40 degrees F. Maybe it's just because I'm from Minnesota, but you wouldn't be using this unless it's at least cold enough to have snow underneath it. It does appear to be thick enough to withstand small branches or rocks, but I've always used a footprint underneath it unless there is adequate snow. I used a piece of painter's plastic (thick 6mil I think) for a footprint until I sewed one together from ripstop nylon.

I owned one for about 5 years. It will not hold up to snow. Rain yes. We had it in the mountains of NC. We used it to have a semi-permanent campsite. It stayed up from April to Nov. There was no problems even after 3 years. One year it snowed a heavy wet snow and it came down. The weight sagged the canvas and buckled the legs. We just replaced the canvas and two legs and used the rest for another couple years.

All tents have to have a vent to release carbon dioxide and replenish fresh air. I would seal one end off after set up and pile leaves or other plant material in front of the other end. Mainly this is not going to be the idea tent for a winter hike. It does, however, make for a good throw in for a pack in case of an emergency.

Yes, this is a four season tent. We have used the tent in North Maine woods and at the Bay of Fundy Canada in the real late fall (5-10 degrees) with lite snow on the ground.

Don't have snow here, but yes to the others. You do have to secure the cover so it doesn't blow off in wind, ie- with bungies or clothes pins etc. and it has a stuff sack to put it in when it's off.

Sure, as long as you bring the tent inside after use. It is not waterproof.

Winter camping in snow, cold weather, absolutely not. I frequently camp in the mountains in April-early May in New Mexico. I have excellent sleeping bags, and am unafraid to camp if it hits just below 32 degrees. Some folks tack down a tarp (the tarps with the silvery material on the inside) over the tent to hold in the heat. Snow load is not an issue. Snow drifting against the side of the tent will cause you problems. Also in cold weather, with warm bodies on the inside of the tent, with cold air outside of the tent can cause extreme condensation build up on the walls- experience speaking.

Good question. The top of this canopy is a thick canvas and the base is connected by bolts. Though it has held up for me very well over the past two years, I doubt this will fair well under snow loading.

It is a 3 season tent but in a pinch you can turn it into a cold weather tent by using a Mylar emergence space blanket on top of the tent between the fly cover just make sure to make 2 small holes about a foot apart in the Mylar blanket so to vent it and reduce condensation build up in side. I have done this several times with temps below freezing to about -5 and it works fine for me.

This is a child's play tent, so it is not waterproof but is water resistant. The adult tents are waterproof.Thanks
