"6 person" tent. the instant aspect seems legit though based on amazon review.

Love my instant tent. Less time setting up, more time enjoying the world.

OK, now I have to look into buying one of these. Found this car wash test video (more like a commercial) for what it is worth.

We've used it here in TN and down in Florida. Have had torrential downpours and came through nice and dry. I set it up myself in about 5 minutes max.

Now I want one even more. Our last "rainproof" tent did not fare so well in a downpour.

I was worried because it didn't come with a rain fly, but we were good. You can order one separate if you want.

This review was really helpful to take extra measures for water resistance.
Step 1- Order the tent
Step 2- Order TENT SEAM SEALER
Step 3- Order Rain Fly (no brainer people)
Step 4- When tent arrives excitedly open box, and set up in the living room (optional, and be sure to check with your spouse first as this did not go over well with mine)
Step 5- Take down tent from living room and set up again outside....Use the seam sealer around ALL seams inside and outside the tent liberally (or follow directions on sealant product)
Step 6- Put rainfly on tent
Step 7- Connect garden hose and prepare leaf blower for weather simulation testing.
Step 8- After waiting desired time for sealant to set, simulate various types of rain storms from gentle drizzle to driving hurricane force rain (do this at your own risk and be sure to roll up windows on your spouses car when aiming simulated rain in that direction)
Step 9- Now using your leaf blower blast your tent with simulated wind levels from gentle meadow breezes to Hurricane Level 4 winds if you have a 4 speed leaf combo snow blower (again, do this at your own risk)
Step 10- Stake down your tent THEN redo step 9, then apologize to your spouse for crushing her flowers.

I approve this methodology.

I have no interest in a tent, however I stopped by to see how a tent could possibly generate so many comments....I was not at all disappointed. Well done!

I tried this tent out over memorial day weekend. It rained for 8-10 hours straight and not a drop got inside. the only moisture was the condensation generated by 2 adults and 3 kids sleeping in the tent. Stayed dry! We bought the rain fly so I am sure that helped a bit.
