How does this hold up when it rains? I have a cover that I just bought that is crap.. It rained and my bike was soaked like the cover was not on

It keeps your motorcycle dry. It has some vents that let it breathe but nothing gets wet - no matter if it's windy and rainy all at once.

My Nelson Rigg cover has not yet been rained on but I would have to imagine it wouldn't make a big difference. It is water resistant so I you had the cover supported in such a way that no water could puddle up on it then you would be fine but this material does absorb water.

I have not actually ridden in the rain with it. I don't know that it's waterproof -- I would probably cover it if riding in rain for an extended period of time. I do like the size of it -- not too big, not too small. There is a spot on the back meant for a water bottle I guess, but not very useful unless you want to stop your bike every time you want to grab a drink!! There is also a small loop on the back so you can attach a light or reflector to the back of the bag. Hope that helps!

My cover is not waterproof. Interestingly, it has pools of water inside after a rain. If it allows water in, why does it retain that water rather than it leaking out? I am careful to keep the zipper underneath the kayak so that no rain could enter there. Since it is not waterproof, I question whether it is UV proof as advertised.

The rain stays out of it. I've had my bike outside. Then it got really hot here and the seat is still like how I left it before the rain. I'm not am avid rider though.

Mine has gone through numerous rains and storms and hasn't let any rain through. Love it.

I don't intentionally ride in the rain but I have been caught in it. Since it does have stitching, I would guess it has a little water resistance.

hmmm...well we get loads of rain and I have noticed that where the flame goes up in the middle, the paint is gone on the cover . And where that spot is, it is rusting. I would think you would need something more heavy duty. Or buy a cover for it

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.

I had one that died a month after installation, on a day that it rained a lot. Schlage was great about replacing it with minimal hassle. I asked whether I should protect the new one from rain to avoid a repeat, and was told that I didn't need to--that it should be fine in the rain and mine must have been defective. It could be that my defect was in the rain protection, or could be that it was a coincidence. But in any case they seem to stand behind the product and intend it to be fine in wet weather.

No rain cover, but the material is pretty water-resistant by itself. Mine stays on my bike's gas tank and is used every time I ride. I can highly recommend it to you!

I've used it in consistent rain and 1 downpour without issue. I removed it from my bike and dried it off once I got to my destination but never saw any indication that it would leak.

Sorry but I can't really confirm that for myself just quite yet. I just put it on 2 days ago. The product description said the cover was "good" when it came to rain and snow. We shall see.

Yes my bike is parked outside 24/7 with no trees or protection other then the cover and been through several bad storms and it remains dry. I feel it is the best cover for the job. There was even a small hail storm and it came through un-marked and believe me I was worried. I have also put the cover on right after a ride and no probelms with hot pipes.

It is water proof but I have on occasion had parts of the bike wet after a heavy rainstorm.

Mine has been fine in heavy rain and snow mounted to the outside of my house with no additional cover. Very happy with the unit.

Ours has been rained on and did fine. I wouldn't submerge it. It doesn't seem to have rubber seals to keep water out if you did.
