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.

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.

I have never submerged it in water completely. But I have used it in the snow/rain and it still works fine. Pretty durable,I was really happy with this product.

The battery case above the back wheel of the bike is durable plastic and the plug-in connection/prongs are well-protected from water, whether from rain or ground splashes. The motor on the front wheel is encased within a 5 inch metal hub and there is a weatherproof connector to the wiring that runs from the motor to the battery along the frame. I haven't ridden my Prodeco in the rain, puddles or shallow streams, but I'm not worried about a malfunction if I do. I wouldn't ride it into a lake and immerse it though.

I used the Tech-Wash and was impressed with the results. Unfortunately, the waterproofing (2nd step) was non-existent. This was on a $140.00 Carhart rain jacket that lost its weather-proofing. I haven't heard of the Loft Tech Wash, I just wanted to give you a heads up on the waterproofing issue. Hope I helped you...

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.

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.

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.

I've only had it for a year, but started it back up and it is working like a charm again this year. The bugs are really bad here in MA and it did a bang up job last year. It seems pretty sturdy, I pulled it in kind of late last year once it started snowing and it started right up. My mom has them and actually convinced me to get one and hers have worked for at least 5 or 6 years.

While it can withstand snow, as it melts it will go right through. I keep mine on all year as it keeps away most spring to fall debris and add a winter cover on top of it. I love this cover.. great purchase.

I ordered 2 of them and are still going strong after 6 months. There are Orings that seal the actual tube for the batteries but how water resistant it is I am not sure. I would say rain would be fine but going for a swim would not be a good idea

Hey jeffrey. I think you should be ok. I have been using this priduct for two years now and never had a problem. I usually run three times a week and this product its been very reliable even running under the rain or severe weather of Chicago in winter. Hope this help.Regards,Greg

Yes this product is adequately waterproof. However, the wood comes with a treatment that will only last about three months in the weather. It is up to you to re treat it at that point, and give it regular treatments thereafter. They recommend re treating it once a year

I had it outside for the summer through the fall and it endured a number of rainstorms. I haven't tried keeping it out in the winter, but I think it would do fairly well. The metal is strong and has a good powder coating on it, though I wouldn't press my luck if it was going to come in contact with salt over the winter. Regardless, it's easy enough to disassemble and store in a garage or basement.

I bought one in June and in 1 test it was waterproof as advertised. I will know more in a few months. I park my bike outside at work in Oregon (i.e. lots of rain coming in the next 8 months). There was 1 big rainstorm this summer. When I came out, my bike was dry. Water was sitting in a puddle on top of the cover, and wasn't dripping through. That was a good sign. I am hoping it will be waterproof as it will be out in the open.

My cover is surprisingly waterproof. I left it in place all winter with no water penetrating to the finish. No need to remove it a far as I can see. It is only 1 year old and maybe things can change with age but it works better than I anticipated. I always go over the cover with a blower before I remove it to prevent debris from contacting the finish.

I'm hoping it will last me for at least a few years. We have experienced a lot of rain and it is holding up just fine. I'm just worried about heavy wet snow.
