We drove 2500 miles, rained pretty much the entire trip down to Florida.  Held up great.  No issues at all.  Great deal for the money.

I would have given 5 stars buuut.....while my husband and I were camping for our 1 year anniversary, it rained on us (typical florida weather). We thought we would be safe since the bottom of the tent is made of tarp PLUS we had an extra tarp under it...probably should have put that extra tarp inside the tent since water came through the stitching. We had to use tissue on the corners to absorb the water throughout the night while sleeping on bare floaties to prevent sleeping in wet blankets.

Well, I really only took the tent out once. The weather conditions were kind of nasty (rainy, wet, cold, etc) & so the tent was wet pretty much the whole night.  It wasn't unbearable, but the condensation inside the tent made it a rather rough experience. Nonetheless, I don't regret the purchase at all- very good value & pretty compact; not too heavy.  (But next time I think I'll try to use a sealant before enduring another rainy adventure!)

Took my daughter to college (800 miles away) had all her clothes in it, it rained not hard when we were driving but it rained hard when we stopped for the night and the car was outside and everything stayed dry. Did buy a mat to go under it to prevent sliding.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!! I bought it and used it for the FIRST TIME traveling from Hershey PA to Orlando FL. It worked fine on the way down to florida, no issues. We did go thru a small amount of rain, and our items inside did get a little wet, so its defiantly not water proof. On the way home, about 7 hours into the trip, the whole top of the unit ripped open!! Somehow none of my items fell out, but they were all exposed. We heard something hitting the roof so we stopped to check it out, and thank god we did! The whole side was ripped to shreds! Super upset that we spent the money on this and had it get completely ruined the first time we used it.

I would have given this tent 4 or 5 stars if it hadn't rained during my trip.  Very lightweight and extremely easy to put up.  The porch-type door that can be propped up was great.  Especially when it was just raining lightly...I could put stuff under it that I didn't necessesarily want in my tent but wanted to keep dry.  As soon as the rain started coming down a little harder (moderate, really) the tent started leaking all over...not something I could patch, just wasn't pulled tight enough.  If you're camping in an area that you are sure won't have any rain, this is the tent for you.

It handled the wind well, but after 20 minutes of walking in the rain, the rain came through the material and was dripping on my head.

I just got back from a 3 day/six tank trip to Key Largo. Seas were really rough the first day (>4'). But the valve at the top never let water in as I waited on the surface.

I replaced my old tent (weather master) thinking this new one would give me 10 years also. It was fine the days it did not rain, but one morning woke up with water hitting me in the face. I thought it was nothing til it happened again, got up and it was raining in my tent. Had to drive a half hour to go into town and buy a large tarp, in which I had to go put it on in the rain also. So I would not suggest this tent unless you know its not going to rain.

We have had this tent for a few years and it has served our family well... until this past weekend.  I guess it was our first time to camp with this tent when it rained.  We got soaked.  We know enough to not allow our bedding to touch the side of any tent when it rains as the moister will soak into what ever is touching it.  But the water was dripping in on us in the middle of the tent.  Another review mentioned the structure of top and how the water is guided in thru the mesh.  I think this is the main problem.  We will not be ever using this tent again if there is ever a chance of rain.

Purchased this for a trip from Michigan to North Carolina.  The unit itself is spacious and kept everything dry on the trip that rained 80% of the drive.  The major issues I have with the unit are the clips that connect to the cars weather stripping make it so the doors don't fully close.  So it sounded like we were driving with the windows down the entire trip.  On a 15 hr drive that was awful...I basically had to scream to talk to my wife sitting in the passenger seat.  Also, with the doors being essentially cracked open the wet straps dripped into the car.  So the doors where wet most of the drive.  Also...once you hit a certain speed, +75, the straps on the roof would whistle.  I had to stop a few times, in the rain...on the highway to readjust.  But that didn't help.  I tightened it down as much as possible...I'm a bigger guy so there really was no wiggle room for the straps to flap around.  It also looks like the straps rubbed some paint off the car.  I hated it so much that I didn't even use it on our return trip and jammed everything I could because I didn't want to have to deal with it on the ride back.  I would imagine if you had a roof rack this would probably be perfect.  But no roof rack I would stay away and probably go with a unit that ran the straps inside of your car rather than clip onto the weather stripping.

NOT WATERPROOF ! Read the reviews, sprayed it with water proofing stuff after I got it home, especially the seams. Went camping over the weekend, immediately found ourselves in a rainstorm. Water dripped in like crazy all around the seam that connects the tarp like bottom to the nylon cloth material. The tiny roof vents barely let any air in..the door zippers design also allowed rain water to drizzle inside the tent. Hot , humid and not waterproof. After a 15 minute storm I sponged out about a cup of water. Maybe worth your money if you can guarantee dry weather, and cool temperatures. Should've spent a few dollars for a real tent :(

I put it on same day I got it, next day it rained (more like a heavy drizzle). This is no better than a t-shirt. It leaks thru the material in every place imaginable. Never again from this company. My old one was a cheaper type that got ripped up in the winds but at least it kept the rain out.

Went from WI to CO and back without any issues. I think all of Nebraska was a rainstorm...when isn't it? All of our clothes and gear remained dry and tight.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a soft top bag.

While on a trip last week, my old but dependable rain gear finally went out. The zipper broke and it was time to buy a new suit. We were in Florida so we went the J&P Cycle in Daytona Beach. This was the only suit with the heat shields so it is the one I got. On the way home, we got in to some good heavy rain. I put on the suit and at first thought it would be great, the fit was very good and the suit went on extremely easy. I did notice that the wrist cuffs did not secure as tight as I wanted and I feared that this would allow wind and water to get in the suit. Having no options, I just put it on and rolled in to the weather. The first thing I noticed was the wind did come in through the wrists and made me like a parachute! It almost pulled me off the bike in high winds. I had to basically ride in horrible weather with just one hand on the bars and the other holding the suit down. Also, I could feel that I was getting wetter and wetter. Once I got home and in the garage, I realized I was SOAKED. Completely drenched from head to toe. I would have been just as well off not to wear anything. It didn't just leak in the neck line; because I know this happens easily. It leaked in the seat and on the knees. The suit just was terrible. I know there were a lot of good reviews on this product and I wish I could have left the same, but not this time.

We purchased this tent because of the reviews.  While we loved the tent and spent apx 4 weeks traveling around the country staying in the tent, I must say that we had water in the tent floor during several rain storms.  It did not leak from the top of the tent.  It came in thru the floor even tho we had purchased and used a tarp under the tent. I also noticed that we were developing small holes in the fly covering the tent during our last stay.  To give this tent credit tho we were in Florida during the tropical storm that came into Northern Florida...we had the worst lighting/wind storm and the tent was nice and dry during this storm.  It held well and we slept soundly except for the big bolts of thunder.  It was the second time we set up the tent that it leaked during another storm and the fourth time that I noticed the hole in the fly.  It made our camping trip very enjoyable with plenty of room for my husband, myself, and our pet.  The only thing I would change is take the divider out of the tent...we had to tie it back out of the way.  We had a queen size blow up mattress that went past the divider.  Otherwise it was a great tent and we hope to camp again next year.
