Before purchasing this tent, I need to know if it is actually Waterproof, most of your other tents in the special features section say Waterproof. Where the wording for this tent dances around that. &quot;weathertech&quot;

Hi Daveo, Thank you for contacting Coleman, the Outdoor Company. We understand that you want to know if our Coleman&reg; Skydome&trade; 10-Person Camping Tent XL, Blue Nights is actually waterproof. We would like to inform you that Coleman's MINIMUM hydrostatic head rating for the fabrics in this tent is 450mm. During batch and periodic quality testing we find most of the materials test at a much higher rating. Waterproof materials do not 100% translate to a waterproof tent. The waterproofing of the tent is measured by our rain testing, which simulates a 6&quot; per hour rain. To make our tents as waterproof as possible we tape all of the rainfly seams, use our WeatherTec inverted seams in other area, and use a patented welding process. We also enhance storm worthiness by our rainfly designs. Specifically our rainfly's extend in such a way that runoff or dripping water is unlikely to fall on a door or window area when the tent is properly setup and guyed. Last we use polyester tent bodies and rainfly's, which adds inherent waterproofing as polyester is a hydrophilic (water-fearing/shedding/repelling) material. We hope we were able to provide an answer to your question. Please let us know if you need further assistance. Have a wonderful day.
