Could some good spray on water proofer do the trick in making the upper fabric water proof?

TX-Direct Tent Proof would be the best bet, but it will need to be reapplied over time. Because the material is silnylon, a waterproofer will rub off much more frequently. The idea behind the E-Bivy is an emergency bivy for the 'just-in-case' moments. It does have a super durable floor and easy in and out via a side half zip. It breaths very well also. For light rain and colder nights in the desert regions this isn't a bad way to go.
