There is an umbrella included with each habitat.
The door underneath the mesh is water proof.

All of the windows zip shut. You do not need a rain fly with this tent. I saw it at OX12 and the tent is very nice.
Hey that new side awning looks great. Did anybody get more photos of the awning from different angles? And any idea of when they'll be available for the NEMO tops? Wonder if there's still time to modify the shell order....
The NEMO awnings will be available fairly soon and they will come with universal attachment points so that they can be attached to other vehicles & racks besides the Habitat tent. The price has not been set yet however it is expected to be competitive. Provision has been made for walls to be suspended once developed. Not too late to add as a place holder Jeffrey.

I'm really curious as to why a roof rack could not be employed on the Habitat (j180), while it can on the J30 top. I'm selling my truck and ordering a new Rubicon Unlimited, and weighing my options between the Habitat, J30 and a more expensive (and heavier) Phoenix Pulse camper top. The Habitat looks to be the best overall for having a low profile and lots of interior space, but I'm having trouble thinking that I couldn't throw some yakima towers on and load a light weight kayak on top occasionally. Obviously I would have to unload the kayak to open the top but that would be better than nothing at all!

I'm also thinking about throwing a couple of solar panels on top of the roof, so I'm with you.
The guys that designed this thing have specific tolerances for weight, and basically anything you put on the roof is going to go over that.
They are obviously going to say "It's not designed for that, and we don't recommend or support it. Don't do it".
Of course, if you want to do it, you sure could.
I personally don't think it will be a problem if you take the weight off the roof before you open it, like you mentioned. The racks will weigh a little, but I don't think it will be a problem.
At your own risk, of course.
