Hi, does the Kelty Coyote 80 need the external rain fly/cover ? I am assuming it does not come with one. Thanks for your replies !

Mine did not come w/ a cover. Bought through Amazon. Very happy with it....

Yes, it comes with a heavy plastic cover that can be used in the rain or to keep it clean in storage if you choose not to fold it. The cover fits over the top and covers the top and front completely. The back part is left open so your pet can see and get air through the large mesh panel.

It's not 100% necessary, but it highly recommended. I've used my Coleman tent quite a bit without the rainfly and the tent hasn't leaked. The rainfly allows for better ventilation in rainy weather. Equally important, it helps keep the tent cool in warm weather since the tent roof is covered and doesn't conduct as much heat into the tent.

It has a hunter orange rain cover that comes out of the bottom. I used this pack elk hunting last season. Highly recommended.

The rain fly is sold separately and is practically as expensive as the hammock itself, I'm looking into getting a cheap tarp personally.

Yes, it does come with the rain fly. There is also another rain fly that can be purchased seperately that is a different design if you are looking for a larger one. I would recommend buying the snake skin as well, makes for an easy set up and take down and protects the hammock when being stored.

Well, I just lived in it for a week up in the Nicolet National Forest here in Wisconsin. It rained 5 or 6 different times during the week and we didn't get any water inside. The year before was different in that we had a huge thunderstorm and 50+ mph winds. I did get a little water inside then because I had put one of the stakes for the rain fly in some soft ground. That combined with the wind caused it to let go and some water got in.No big deal. I think under normal conditions you would not need another rainfly.

The weather cover is conveniently located and attached at the bottom of the pack, super easy to deploy and return to its place. I am not sure of the material, however if you were concerned about rain I would spray the pack with 2-3 coats of a water repellent (3M scotchguard) AND the cover as well. If you are concerned about dropping it in the water consider a good water tight bag to cover it with. I live in the NW. It rains a bunch. It works great.

We were issued a poncho to help stay dry. That was the poncho. To make a light weight sleeping bag, good for slightly cool or just more comfortable to the skin than the plastic poncho foldered over. you put the liner into the poncho. I sprung for the rain gear pants and jacket as the poncho sucked for keeping off the rain. I kept and used the poncho liner AKA "woobie" as a light weight blanket. Never loan out your woobie. Only let you significant touch it for a few seconds and then make them buy their own. If you marry, make sure your preneptual has that your retain the woobie.

I don't know what a fly option is as I'm not camping savy but it has been rained on as well as snowed on and the interior stayed dry. Of course it was all zipped up everywhere. I hope that helps.

No rain cover I'm not sure if it's the newer version but I will have this pack for a very long time it's great. It's roomy well thought out storage compartments, and we'll made.

No it does not come with a rain cover. The exterior is water repellant but I always put a rain poncho over the top if I am shooting in a downpour (in Arizona that doesn't happen often but when it does it's like Noah's Ark kind of rain).

Yes. The rain cover looks to be a decent waterproof material (like a tent rain fly) and has an adjustable cinch strap to adjust the size according to how much stuff you have crammed in your pack. There's also a zip pocket specifically made for the cover....it stuffs right in.

Hello. There is no fly available. I had to double soak it with a water wicking spray. Also during expectations of heavy downpour I cover it with a tarp as just about any tent would need to be. I wasn't impressed at all with this tent. It is clearly not a 4 season tent. Well it is IF a season doesn't have wind driven sheets of rain. It does well in snow however. Summers are hot without use of a tent fan. Just my two cents worth

No rain fly - I have this hammock and I just use a cheap tarp from a hardware store. The cheap ones are surprisingly light weight. That way I can get it a bit bigger and keep my gear dry. Or if it's nice, there's a million other things I use tarps for.

I don't think so. However the rain fly that is offered from amazon is a relabeled one that was not correct. I personally see no reason for this tent to need a rain fly.
