My question is.....is this rain suit "noisy"? I understand its waterproof, but is it made out of "tarp-like" material? Noisy like a tarp when moving?

It's not noisy at all. It is a cloth material. Best rain suit we have ever bought.

This isn't the one I purchased but if it's made out of the same material, polypropylene, then no, it's not noisy. Mine and my husbands is very quiet.

Not it's not noisy, but it's not waterproof either, it says it is but it's not

not very noisy at all.....feels like more of a paper material and may be just a tad noisy if it's loose fitting on you...i wore mine over my clothes and it was just more bulky than anything else

You wouldn't want to wear it if you were hunting and needed to be quiet, but it isn't any noisier than your average rain gear.

No, I do not think it's noisy. Wore it a couple of times going to Strugis this year and it was great!

They are Not noisy at all! They are made of more like a "cloth like" material rather than a "tarp like" material. I really enjoyed the tuffness and the fit!

Yes the material is water-resistant, not waterproof. You can walk in the rain with it, but not diving with it.

The suit is good for working outside in the rain, I do not ride motorcycles, so can't directly answer.

No! And I was extremely disappointed because it was NOT waterproof at all! I Called Amazon and asked for a credit back. It's in my patio for her to play and run through, but if you're looking for something rain proof for outside- not a good choice.

my mom wears it in the rain and has had no problems at all. she is not out for huge periods when it rains, but she is in a wheelchair so it is two ramps and the car. I love this hearing aid! hope this helps

I've run with it in light rain a few times and it has been fine, but I wouldn't call it waterproof. Ive been running in 90+ degree temps and sweat hasn't been an issue for me. There isn't a lip that folds over the device once it is in the pouch or anything so its open on top. Hope this helps!

For the the money(price), I am certain you will never match the value! The single item in my 67 of memory that IS waterproof , is my Columbia rain suit. Pay the money and smile; what ever adjustments need making, you will find a way! ;-}

I would say its waterproof in the same way a regular nylon jacket is waterproof. in some serious downpour it will get wet. I bought this for shooting a beach assignment. It was not the kind of shoot with 3 assistants lugging a heavy pelican case across the sand. I wanted something lightweight that could be zipped up.Works just fine for me.

it is not waterproof. it is a kind of fleece material so I think it is ok for light rain.

I would not say 'fully' water proof. I feel comfortable having if it is raining and I am not going to be out in it an extended amount of time. I will add though I am very paranoid about my gear getting wet so I might be overly cautious.

I dont mind the noise...its not very loud. You hear the water exiting more than anything else. I recommend it highly.

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

I used it in summer Arizona. Never had it rained on. It fell into pool and got wet. we dried it in the sun. Not plastic tarp. I think it's some kind of "cloth-like" nylon. Feels like canvas, but prob not as porous. I think it would hold water but eventually drip?? Love it for shade.

It is stiffer than cloth , like a sheet of plastic , but not as loud as the cheap Mylar emergency blankets . It is more of a tarp than a " blanket" . Still an excellent product . A bit small as a shelter . Buy two , sew them togeather . Everyone does . Windproof , waterproof , light and warm , but yes a little noisy .

Hi, Rebecca. This case is awesome in many ways. Is it water resistant? I would say no. As an avid hiker and back country camper, I've had the opportunity to test (and need) a lot of of water resistant gear. Water has an incredible capacity to soak through materials that seem, at first glance, to appear water resistant. I feel this is the case with this product. My case is sturdy, and lives in my day pack, but if it's raining, it's going inside a water proof pouch. The shell is made of molded EVA-plastic, but water can easily seep into the seams at the corners and the zippers. Hope this helped. Hi, Rebecca. This case is awesome in many ways.

I don't have it in front of me, but it's just regular lightweight raincoat material. Feels more like fabric inside, and the outside has a plastic/rubbery feel. It's very lightweight. Not insulated.

This like the majority of others isn't made to be waterproof, the intent is weight savings. They have a rain cover available for that purpose.
