Once the dye has dried on the jacket, will it come off in the rain? Do I need to apply a waterproofing spray over the dyed jacket?

No it doesnt come off in the rain but I would recommend buying 2 bottles unless the jacket you are using it on is a small size.

No, it did not come off when wet (rain/snow) but in my case some of the overly worn areas of the coat just needed some additional touching up and 2 oz just was not enough. I don't believe waterproofing spray is necessary.

We have not used ours in the rain, but in researching it previously it does not sound like it is 100% waterproof. I think other users waterproofed their things inside the bag. We used the pad that was on the recommended list in between the car roof and the bag, did not damage the car/paint.

You could, if you have a bin/bucket large enough to soak it in. I suppose you could water it down and turn it into a spray and then spray it over the tent when it is up. I used this product on the rain cover for my tent by soaking it in a large plastic bin (probably unnecessary measure as it is lined with plastic). If you wanted to waterproof your tent I'd think it would be easier to get the spray version of this product. I personally haven't used it so I can't speak to how well it works. This product worked well for waterproofing 2 rain jackets, 1 soft shell, 2 full brim field hats, some shorts (worked for like 3 washes on the shorts, but I didn't give them full treatment) and one rain cover for my tent. Hope this helps

Here's what I did and it worked fine. Wash garment as you usually do, spin dry, leave wet. Prepare your pail (about half-full of water for a jacket) and add 5 capfuls of waterproofing soak. Soak garment for about 10 minutes, kneading and squeezing thoroughly so that solution saturates every part of the garment. Squeeze out as much water as you can. Put garment in dryer on medium heat until dry. You only "dry" it once.

I am sorry I cannot address the answer fully as I have not been in the rain, but I did put it under a faucet and it appears that it is waterproof. I played golf in 90+ weather and loved it for light weight and comfort. The purple received some comments regarding being able to see me coming. I am not sure that was a favorable comment or not, but I like the color.

Its made of leather, so if it exposed to too much water it will ruin it. If you want it outside I would get water proof spray online. And watch a video of how to apply it to leather.

No, it will dry just like a clear coat of nail polish and comes off easily with nail polish remover. Hope this helps.

the last rain just soaked two of mine, a tan and this blue one. They seemed fine afterwards, left out in the sun, dried up overnight. how fast? sorry, don't know in hours. I would not leave them out all the time though, don't think they are designed for that.

It is well crafted with tight seams, but the openings close with a drawstring and therefore not waterproof. Will it protect from rain, I absolutely believe it would. As it says on hair dryers, not to be used in the tub!

You could always spray it down with waterproofing spray (the kind for boots/tents, etc) - this is what I do with all of my bags. Works like a charm.

It's waterproof. I dry it with a towel and it appears quite dry after that.

Mimi is right you can spray it down with the water proofing spray if you desired. I haven't and it works well in humid areas and wet rainy weather. Granted I would at least hang it up to keep it off the ground. All zipper areas have an over stitch, or a length of material that has been created to cover and protect all the zipper without problem. Would I trust it on a fain filled weekend. Yes, but like Mimi, I would spray it to be doubly sure

I would venture to say there is some sort of weatherproofing on the bag. I purchased this bag to dye with iDye. The hardware and velcro all took to the dye marvelously but the bag itself did not take it at all.

it hasn't been in the rain yet. For added protection I would suggest to spray it with a waterproofing spray

I noticed the surface absorbed the paint markers I used - so I suspect it would also absorb the rain and become quite soaked. The foam core might help it stand up to a few sprinkles - but the surface does not appear to be water proof.

i shot in a drenching rainstorm. camera got absolutely soaked. couldn't dry it off right away either. still works like new. http://darryl-smith.deviantart.com/ you can read my review and see the photos i have taken including some in the rain

It's not waterproof if that's what you mean. It's fabric. I did once leave it in the rain (a drizzle, not a downpour) and remembered about a half hour later. It dried fine. I would not recommend that though. I always put it away.I see someone else has had no issue with it though. Good to know. As far as the quality of it? I absolutely love the thickness and durability of it.
