How does this saddle stand the rain? Is it a sponge, or does the rain stay out of it?

I don't leave my bike out in the weather. It has gotten wet from the lawn sprinkler. It doesn't soak up water as far as I can tell.

Paula, yes it does the job. I have not had any problems with it getting wet when it rains. However, it does not cover the entire unit down to ground. The cover stops just above the legs. I hope that helps you.

I wouldn't call it "waterproof"....but it does a good job of keeping the seat dry underneath. Water beads up on mine and is easily wipes off. It doesn't absorb water and wet your bum when you sit down. The pockets in the back are mesh, so anything in them will get wet if left in the rain.

Can't help you with the rain issue but I've had this tent in 40 mph sustained and 55 gusts. I Double staked and kept all guys tight. Held up like a champ. I really believe it would keep you dry as well

It's not but it holds pretty well in the rain. Tough. sorry of that doesn't help.

It has a microphone, so I would not expose it to rain. It won't last and you will be disappointed.

Yes. My cover has withstood the torrential downpours of the Georgia springs and I've never had a wet bike. Great cover. Very we'll made. Had mine for just over a year now.

Seems to be good. Rain stays out. But I haven't been in any serious downpour with it. Otherwise it's pretty sweet.

It's heavy duty canvas- which is great because it doesn't slip and slide like nylon. But I'd guess in rain it would get soaked and heavy

It's about as waterproof as a tent. It keeps my bike dry in light rain. However, like most tents, it won't stop the onslaught of an extended downpour. It also does not stop dew accumulation.

The top covering is some type of tightly woven, micro-fiber synthetic. 95% of the water will run off of it, but, it will 'get wet'. However, the covering is thin, and the amount of water (or perspiration) it will 'hold' per square inch is very little. It can be almost dried by strongly blotting with an absorbent dry cloth. It is NOT waterproof like plastic, vinyl, rubber, or treated leather. Also, it will wear out (be abraded) faster than the material previously mentioned.That all being said, it is the best bike seat I have found (for me @ 6'-2", 250lbs, 75yo)! All day comfort...my legs give out before my butt does...no more painful 'squirming' near the end of a long ride. Yippee!

You are out in the elements. The rain cover does help but if outside long enough, it will get wet.

It never rains in L.A., but they are likely correct, as there are 4 switch buttons top and bottom which are not sealed I'm sure. Not having fenders, I don't ride in the rain. If it does rain I'll pop it into my pocket.

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

Mine has seen a lot of rain and seems to be holding up fine. It looks like it is powder coated and well made.
