Waterproofing: Is this waterproof?

I had this running, in upstate NY during Irene, uncovered out in the downpour. All went well. Ran great - no problems.

I don't believe it is waterproof. It can probably handle getting splashed with water but not immersed.

Mine has been waterproof. I have had it on my Kayak for 2 years now and its always dry as a bone when I take it out. Its sitting outside in full weather too.

It looks like it is waterproof but you should contact customer service. They are VERY accommodating.

Yes it is waterproof. I mounted it on my ATV and used it outside in rain and snow to operate a winch.

Yes it is waterproof. It is an excellent tarp. Has been covering my sailboat for two years and still looks new.

This is not waterproofing specification. In use at the place where rain hits, you need to waterproof. (I did the seal to the junction etc. with silicon)

Yes, it is waterproof. It has been out in the weather all winter and through heavy rains and it still works perfect. Would recommend it to anyone. It protects my motor home.

I just sprinkled water on it and the water beads sat for a minute before being drawn in. I wouldn't call it waterproof.

It's not a waterproofer. It is a moisture inhibitor and helps eliminate water stains

I don't think it is waterproof. It is a heavier material though and it doesn't soak through easily. I've never had a problem with it being in the rain. the outside gets wet, but never the inside.

No. Not in the "waterproof" sense of the word. It will repel minor water, though.

Not waterproof (e.g., completely submerged), but most certain will keep water, mud, dirt, dust and other debris out under normal conditions. I've read that some people have used a thicker seal than the one that it came with.

It says it is but I haven't dumped water on it to actually verify that it is. But the details do say waterproof. So I sure hope so or I have a problem!

I don't believe it is water proof. With a bit of plastic covering it it might be ok outside. I'm not sold on its effectiveness at all in any application. I have had one in for many months now and I'm still going to get a water softener due to water spots etc. Sorry.

I have mine under an awning, so it gets rained on a little and still works. It's technically outside, but I wouldn't call it waterproof.
