Other than the mesh outer layer, is there a more protective outer cover to use during extreme downpours and unrelenting rain

Patricia,there is full rain fly for light to moderate rains; i wouldn't use the tent during extreme downpours without additional protection.Irina

Yes their is the rain fly, I was in a windy, rainy downpour, and had a hard time keeping things dry, luckily there was a cabin nearby, so we used that shelter for the night.

The inner tent is all mesh as you see in the photo. I have not had the tent in an extreme rainfall yet, but it has worked well in moderate rainfalls. However I did seam seal the entire "flat area" on the top of the tent. This "flat area" is my only concern with this tent. But the seam seal did appear to work. In addition I always spray all my tent flys with Camp Dry or similar product.

Yes, the tent comes with a fully taped rain fly and guy lines for securing the fly in high winds.

Yep, it come with a full rain fly as well. I'm not sure how well it keeps you dry in 'extreme' downpours, but it did work well in the light/moderate rain I was in.

Yes. There is a full rain fly that covers the whole tent and gives you vestibule space on both sides.

Triangle section, top of the front door is a problem; it sags. Anything that add weigh on that section will lead to leak and clasp of tent. One outing I had rain turned in slush of snow. Not good result.I understand the tent is for 3 season use. For "good" weather use, this is an excellent tent.

I always collapse my umbrella and cover it when it rains just to be safe. I use the cover it comes in that seem to protect it.

Johnathan, let me make a clarification to my earlier comment. Technically this enclosure is rated NEMA 3R. But in the spirit of your question your were trying to determine if this device could be USED in the rain. The direct answer to that is an unequivocal NO as the NEC, National Electrical Code, specifically forbids it. While it can be mounted on exterior surfaces it only meets NEC requirements so long as it's cover is closed. Covers such as Hubbell's TAYMAK addresses this situation for standard devices - outlets and switches. I do not know if they manufacture one for this particular purpose. Just shield it as I suggested earlier or mound it away from any direct exposure to the elements. Good luck!

Hm, ive used it in the rain. It doesnt keep the bike dry. But also doesnt get soaked. Its not ideal for rain. Hope that helps.(get a 2-4 Layer cover-trust me)

It states its water resistant but with my experience it will not even stand up to dew. I went out the next morning and my bike was soaked. That being said there is no way I would attempt to let it be in rain with this cover. I only use this cover for keeping my bike out of the sun while im at work.

No not really. It covers the speakers and the earphone jacks so rain won't get In but the rubber between the top and bottom is not very good. Does not give a good seal so water will get in.

Not sure this is the rigt product if you want to protect from rain. It covers from sun but don't think it will help in the rain

Yes it is mesh. They say it aids in ventilation and reduces condensation which we found to be true. The rainfly seems to do the trick because we had a few nights that it rained and had no issues.

It is water resistant not waterproof....i would definitely recommend getting a rain-cover for it.

No. I've been using this for months without any problems at all. I would advise against using it in the rain because the face is uncovered.

Although I have not had mine out in the rain, I would suspect that this bag would provide a good amount of protection. It has a quality zipper an nylon which repels water. Overall I wouldnt be afraid of having my tablet or laptop out in the elements with this bag however if it was pouring down I think I would trow in a big ziplock for added protection.

Not bad for waterproof in light rain even though it's only fabric. Buy the rain cover for better protection. the panniers take quite a bit of space when full. We wouldn't be able to put another carrier on as they get quite fat.

I've built a protective covering using 4" PVC pipe. I think you really need to keep rain off of this. The lip on the bottom isn't that much of a lip.

The top is mesh under the rain fly. The front is completely mesh with a rain proof zip cover. No Windows on remaining 3 sides. It kept me dry in a horrible thunderstorm one time but the air flow isn't the greatest with the rain fly on.

I've had mine out prospecting in the rain several times and it seems to repel water pretty well. Over time, I'll just spray some Scotch Guard on it to maintain it's repellency if needed.

It's highly water resistant, if you are in a windy down pour things may get a little damp, if your looking for water proof day pack check out the Osprey Stratos it has a built-in rain cover that stows away in a little zipper compartment, Amazon sells the pack at a excellent price, I highly recommend it for wet conditions.

My Nelson Rigg cover has not yet been rained on but I would have to imagine it wouldn't make a big difference. It is water resistant so I you had the cover supported in such a way that no water could puddle up on it then you would be fine but this material does absorb water.
