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.

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.
I finally got my hands on the storm fly and I’m so glad I did ! Originally I wanted to have it in the summer to help protect against UV rays. I missed out on the first run and had to wait until the color I wanted was back in stock. I’ve had it set up on my skyliner for two weeks now in the North cascades. It’s full winter here and I don’t think anyone could throw more at this storm fly than I’ve subjected it too. It’s had everything from freezing rain to heavy snow and some strong winds as well. The fabric is super heavy duty and water proof. So far I’m very happy with this and time will tell how it holds up.
i wanted to keep the top of my skyliner clean and protected so i had to resort to large tarps strung up above the tent. worked, but could be difficult to set up depending on where i was camping, and pretty ugly. glad springbar finally developed and sold this custom fly for my tent. it fits well and functions as expected, keeping rain and debris off the top of the tent, allowing the side windows to be open while keeping rain out. few things disappointed me though. first, the 'natural' color is a beige-pink, not natural looking at all and doesn't match the canvas on the tent. second is it's made of thin polyester. i guess it's more water resistant, and is definitely lighter weight, but it seems kinda, cheap putting a plastic cover over my nice, quality, canvas tent. then, is the price. for just over $200 i kind of expected something that didn't feel like walmart tent i could have gotten for 1/4 the price. so, is it good? yes. is it worth it, that's up to you. i'll be using mine because i've got it now, but i would have easily stuck with my tarps otherwise.
