How do these fair with adverse weather conditions, namely rain?

I haven't had them out in heavy rain yet but in a light rain and mist it has been just fine.

I have not used them outdoors yet, so I can't really say. My only thought is that perhaps the metal wire that goes behind the head may corrode in continued use in such conditions. I don't have the details on exact material of the wire itself.

Yeah they hold up well in the rain, I was on a training rotation with 30 mph winds laying in the rain on a gun team and they held up great. They were soaked on the foam, but I let them dry and they were fine. Didn't shrink it anything

I live in a high desert climate but we do get the occasional rainstorm, some of them quite heavy. The inside has stayed dry so far.

I live in Portland and ride often in the rain. I have not experienced any moisture related issues

Yes to the rain. Not sure on dragging around. You would heed at least 4 people I think to have it work. Better with one per leg. Dragging with one or to no way.

water resistant most defiantly, Light (less than 0.1inch/hr rain fall) to average rain fall (0.1inch/hr rain fall) they do fine for my quick 5mile ride to keep things dry. they have a resin/wax type lining but 100% water proof I would say no. I have not tested them in heavy rain though (like a 1/2inch-1inch/hr rain fall).hope I have helped.

I wouldn't worry about a light rain as I've not experienced any problems. Heavy rain not so sure . . . but very easy to take the two bands off that hold in place and stash in a safe place (raincoat pocket; storage compartment, etc.). They supply two extra bands, and you could take a small Ziplock snack-sized baggy, and use one of the extra bands to hold baggy in place until rain comes and then use both to cover the computer.

We have ours outside "sort of" protected from the rain. Works like a charm (so far--had it over the winter).

If it is a large downpour, yes. They are better than most I have seen with repelling the water and drying pretty fast. We try to keep our turned over if we know it is going to rain. I love the ones that I got (floral print)

I concur with all the other three comments. If you drape the cloth (as I do the very Ight ones) then the rain will go thru and be pretty well distributed. Of you establish it more taut, it will tend to let the rain run off as any surface that isn't horizontal will shed some moisture.

Mine has done fine in several light to moderate rains. Experience has taught me to always pack a cheap tarp in case the weather turns unexpectedly nasty, but I've not had to use it with this tent so far.

Sorry, I have not have that problem yet. The rain, if windy will get in, but otherwise I have not had that problem, hope it won't sag either.

I do not think you could leave them out in the rain. I am very happy with them I use them for all my USPS shipping and will order them again soon.

We haven't had heavy rain when using the tents. But it is always a good idea to use a tarp anyway. My husband and son do but that comes from being involved in scouting.

We did not have any rainstorms while we used ours, but should be ok for moderate rain.

Hello, I purchased the tent for our daughter with autism. Works great for that but I don't know about the rain. Sorry.

I have not used it n a heavy downpour. I've been in light rain situations and had no problems. The plugs all fit snugly. I'd be comfortable saying water resistant more than waterproof. That said, I've had mine (two units) nearly a year and have been very happy with the units.

Yes. In the event of rain, you can't leave anything in the canopy area, it will get soaked.
