Will a Kodiak Canvas tent keep me dry?

Absolutely yes! Kodiak Canvas tents are made with premium Hydra-Shield™ canvas. However, not all tents are completely waterproof out of the box. On occasion a new tent will experience some leaking. Over the life of the tent, occasional, waterproofing maintenance will be required. If leaking occurs, it is an easy fix. Treat the affected area with a SILICONE based waterproofing such as Kiwi Camp Dry®, Atsko Silicone Water-Guard®, 3M Scotchgard Outdoor Water Shield®, or Sofsole Heavy-Duty Silicone Waterproofer®. This should absolutely take care of any leaks, and you should seldom have to retreat. Caution: Do not use other types of waterproofing such as Canvak® on this Hydra-Shield™ canvas, as it could affect the breathability of the canvas. When properly sealed, your expectation should be that a Kodiak Canvas tent will stay completely dry inside, even during drenching rains.
