I saw a comment that this doesn't include the rain fly is that accurate? Do you have to buy a separate rain fly?

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.

It doesn't have an external rain fly.Also beware of using this tent in heavy winds. It will collapse.

It doesn't come with the rain cover. They sell rain covers for it. I'm not sure if it's the newer model. I bought it on amazon about 8 months ago. I still think it is a great pack.

I confirmed that the style I purchased has a fly. Just be sure to read the product description very carefully since there are two styles.

The rain fly is mainly for using so you can open the doors and windows without it raining inside. I haven't had it in the rain but all tents are waterproof. We like to open our windows so that is why we spent the extra money

Hello John, I believe that the rain fly is an excellent addition. While the tent top is not mesh and it is water-proof, you need all of the windows closed to keep the rain from coming in. However, with the rain fly, you can still have the top of the windows open and not have any rain come in. I prefer this as it allows you to maintain some air flow. I have used mine in some very heavy down pours and did not have any rain come in. I believe that this is an excellent tent with the rain fly.

Mine came with a fly attractant you can place on the outer cage. It needs to be replaced periodically.

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

Yes a rainfly does come with it. It's not as heavy duty as the rainfly you get for the Original tent cot.

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.

Does not come with rain cover. I have the 41 and was disappointed that it did not come with one. Rain covers seem pretty standard for many bags with this price tag.

The tent is fairly rainproof without the fly but your experience may vary depending on the weather conditions or even the way your particular tent was manufactured. I have a Instant 4 that never got wet inside without a fly and an Instant 8 that did. With that being said if you can find the fly on the cheap I would buy it. It gives you an extra level of protection from the elements and is easy to install and remove.

Yes but they are crappy I would purchase better ones. I got some that glow in the dark to prevent tripping in the dark. Rain fly is a must even in wet fog.

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.

I purchased the tent cot in June. It is very efficient, however, it did not come with a rainfly.

We didn't have to do anything to the rain fly. Just make sure you get it on the tent correctly and the velcro straps secured on the tent poles.

Yes...I know they have a habit of saying..."If you purchased this, you may want to purchase these items..." , but I chose to just get the tent and see. It's amazingly easy to set up and take down and it rained considerably! No need to buy the additional rain fly.
