Coleman and the like arent weatherproof


No tent is weatherproof without some additional work. Best thing you can do once you buy the tent is set it up in your backyard and put a good seam sealer on all the seams. Couple coats and leave it out for a day or two before you pack it back up. A little bit of prep before you take it out goes a long way.

Also make sure to get a good ground tarp to place under the tent

Don't forget to spray the tent with permethrin, it makes a huge difference.

Oh and my Coleman 10 man does not leak, been a great tent for 5 seasons.

Not true.

I haven't done a thing so far to my 3 Mountain Hardwear tents and I'm dry. Always.

Only thing I ever deal with is a bit of condensation but it's always on the vestibules. Not the interior to drip on me.
