I'm wondering what they mean when they say that the EPIC fabric is "highly water resistant"? That makes me a little nervous. Is this a tent that can withstand the elements and a rain storm or not?

Oh, this can take whatever nature throws at it. EPIC fabric is deemed "highly water resistant" because water *can* get through the fabric when it is subject to extreme pressures. What this means to you is that a windblown downpour won't even phase the fabric, but a high-pressure fire hose has a slim chance of forcing some water through.
