Just how waterproof is the Carbon Full-Cycle Twill? I would need it to survive a Boston winter.

it poured yesterday here in NYC and I was walking in the rain about 6 block to my car with no umbrella. The contents in my bag where still dry. It does a good job I would say. I had 10 manilla envelopes in my bag and none were affected by water.

Don't know about that one. I used to live in Boston and I doubt it will work very well in the winter given snow sticks and rain doesn't. Unless you clear the panel off it won't recharge.

Water does bead. My bike is outside all year round and stays dry. After two years its stood up to cold rain and snow. Color is fading though but integrity of cover is not deteriorating.

It is waterproof. It is quite attractive looking, well designed, and robustly made, and we really like it. If it is windy, you should furl it to prevent damage. Be careful when furling to not crank too much, as you may get a backlash in the textile cord and it will get caught in the gears. We had that happen, and I replaced the cord with a plastic-coasted wire rope from Lowes, and now it is perfect.

I cover my battery with a waterproof camelbak cover, I wrapped the power cable at the battery with electrical tape, and wrapped the power connection to front hub with electrical tape. In light rain this has worked ok. I also carry a waterproof handlebar "mitt" for heavy rain to protect the throttle area.

Mine is outside all weather in Pennsylvania all year. I don't store my bike because I don't stop riding it when it gets cold. The water resistance lasts about a year. After that it's a dust cover. For the price you can afford to buy a new one each year.

I have had this cover on my trike all winter with no problems. They do say water resistant in the paperwork, but I had no moisture issues in the rain or snow.By going through last winter not sure if it will last another, but the price was worth the cover.

I have used it on many of hunts in the rain, snow and cold. I would say its weathproof.

It works quite well to keep weather out. It's not waterproof. Just resistant. It will get wet, and if it freezes it will freeze solid. Great cover though! I suggest fully.

I leave it outside all summer. Has held up well. I took it in for the winter though.

The cover absolutely is fully water proof. Our BBQ was on the deck, covered, all winter in the Denver area. We had snow, hail, rain, etc. and it was dry as a bone. It has two straps to hold it down in the wind but it fits so well we didn't really have to use them.

We bought this for our cart in Florida. We won't be back there until Nov. I have someone who watches the cart for us while we r in Massachusetts. Waterproof -- so far. Winters in Iowa-- your guess is as good as mine.

We get a lot of rain in Georgia, and yes, it appears to be waterproof. As far as snow in concerned, you would have the mower as support, so it should be just fine.

I've had it for several years in all weather, year round. The cold and wet affects it almost not at all aside from some mold. It is still waterproof with the exception of a tear. The tear happened because it got brittle because of sun exposure. A UV silicone spray would probably have helped it last a little longer, but for $15-30, it probably isn't worth it.

It is tough and water proof as far as I know. I have dropped in snow several times. I would not suggest submerging device in liquid on purpose though.

I lived in Lake Havasu City for a few years, so I believe I am qualified to answer this: yes. The only thing that might not survive longer than a few years will be any rubber seals, but the unit should survive 135 degree weather with no problem.

Yes it really is waterproof. As to holding up to Iowa winters I can't say. My cart is in southern California so I have to drive up into the nearby mountains just to see snow in the winter time.
