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.

Skyliner StormFly® Benefits:
Features/Specs:
The tent is superbly constructed, easy to setup with one person
Rain fly fit great and is an awesome fit
We bought a canvas tent but didn’t purchase the rain fly right away. Here in Washington, the weather can be pretty wet, and we found that the tent could get quite humid inside, even though it never actually leaked.
The rain fly has made a big difference. It keeps the canvas from becoming soaked and seems to breathe much better during wet weather. We chose the camo version, and I was initially concerned that the darker color would make the inside of the tent feel much darker than the light-colored roof. Thankfully, the roof is still surprisingly light inside, so that hasn’t been an issue at all.
We picked camo to go over a driftwood skyliner.
Quality product. Fit directly on my old skyliner with no issues. Really happy they are still making protective parts for the skyliner and they still fit on the older years. Again proving this is a life long tent as long as you take care of it!
Love this Stormfly! Kept us dry in the rain and the extra protection from the sun is a great benefit!

I absolutely love my new tent, the color the size the craftsman shipand the size btw did i mention the size... This tent is huge and I see how it all works together now. Just seems to be a really great thought out idea & design. I am Super Silly Satisfied. I'm in love! Moved out the house into this house. Ahhh much better!! Ty soo much Springbar for my Skyliner in Driftwood!! Much Love 😊
Camping in Utah with Skyliner tent with rain fly. 2 thunderstorms in 3 days. Some heavy rain at times. No problems stayed dry. The material seems to be made of a heavier material than all the other tents I have owned. It dried quickly and was easy to clean. I recommend the rain fly as extra protection. Will make the tent last longer.
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.
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.
October tent camping in the PNW mountains this is a necessity. After 20 years with a family camper without a rainfly this is so awesome. Having it attach to the springbars is genius as it allows airflow between the tent and fly. 4 nights of 70 plus humidity and 10 plus hours of rain under evergreens and the only thing not dry enough to pack up was the bottom of the ground tarp, also a necessity.
Hi, we just returned from a camping trip and used the storm fly for our Skyliner for the first time and it was extremely hard to attach to the spring bars because it was too short. I had to pull and stretch as hard as I could to slip into the little pockets on the storm-fly and it looks like the leather pockets are coming unstitched. Also, as a result when I was packing the tent up, it was even harder to get off. Unfortunately, I lost two of the rubber end caps on the spring bars as I was struggling to remove the storm fly and I didn’t notice until I returned home. Is it possible that my storm fly is just not measuring correctly? Other than that, it looked great on the tent!
Came back in stock a couple days before we were leaving for a trip out west. Took a gamble and had it shipped to our campsite because I knew it wouldn't make it before we left. Was delivered before we got there. Was super easy to install as we set up the Skyliner. Really like that it blocks/prevents tree sap and bird poo from getting on tent. And now can leave ends open without worry of rain getting in. Very well constructed. Extremely happy with both Skyliner and Stormfly.
Received just in time for a 5-day trip where I brought my 70 year old mother along. No heavy rain but enough that it was a noticeable difference from the usual canvas “misting”. She stayed very comfortable. I have the CJ100 with the regular stormfly and the one thing i really disliked was having to string out all of the extra guy lines. The main advantage of the Springbar tent vs a cabin-style is that you are free from the maze of guy lines so the stormfly on the CJ is a bit irritating. Springbar REALLY took their time to design the Skyliner Stormfly right. It is staked out with two small guys only on the ends. Not the usual tripping hazards all around the tent! I only wish it had come out when I bought the Skyliner last year. It would have saved many stains (White Birch trees are the worst) and some significant canvas-stretch from several other storms. Don’t hesitate, buy it WITH your tent purchase. Don’t buy it “later”.
Fantastic addition to the skyliner. Tested it out yesterday in a heavy rain. What a difference it makes. Wish you had it 2 years ago
Thanks, Mike.
Another long awaited great product from Springbar!!
A long awaited accessory. Will prolong the life of our tent. Love the camo color way.
Very nice but which you made offered one in canvas. Thank Again
