You asked, we delivered. Meet The Skyliner StormFly®. Use it for increased performance in rain, snow, and heavy weather.
We designed this fly to match the front and back awning profile on the Skyliner (a lot of pattern work and testing went into getting the fit just right) so no additional awning poles or guy ropes are needed for setup.

Let me first say the skyliner tent is awsome... Stormfly??? Not sure yet but I have a feeling I won't use it on the elk hunt this fall. After trying everything I could think of I could not get it to not hold water between the ridge pole and the roof edge. It bunches up because it saggs. The best I could get it was to run a separate couple guy lines just for the awning part of the stormfly and put a couple more stakes 1 to 2 feet farther back than the tent awning guy lines. Problem is to get the sag out you have to pull too tight which then compresses your tent corners... storm fly needs some extra fiberglass rods to form a curve from roof peak to edge... I will update review after elk hunt but opinion now is I wish I would of held off.... Tent is incredible though!!!!!!
STORMFLY® – SKYLINER
I haven't hadn't had a chance to test it in bad weather, but it's easy to put on and fits well. We'll probably use it all the time just to protect from UV as much as rain.
I haven't been able to hit the road with this tent yet however I did a dry run setup in the backyard to familiarize with it. My first impression was how heavy this beast is so I would plan to setup close to where you park. Second, the construction is amazing and the tent looks great (Suntan color). Set up was easy and straight forward, I did it solo with no issues however two persons would be ideal. My one suggestion would be to produce a video related to repacking the tent once broken down. I was able to get it packed and the carrying case is extra large so even though my packing job wasn't as tight or compacted as it could be, I still had no problems fitting it back into its bag. Oh, and did I say its heavy! LOL This is a great tent!
This tent reminds me why I love camping so much. A canvas tent feels different in a good way but the spring bar tent is the best I've ever set up or slept in. The only complaint I have is that I didn't get one sooner.
