How waterproof is this thing? I want to take this inflatable couch wave riding..you're perched a nice bit above the water and drinks don't typically become overloaded with salt water. Will the fabric get ruined if it gets wet, especially beach water wet?

dont know i didnt keep it long enough to have anything tested on it. i returned it because it wouldnt stay inflated. you might want to contact the vendor and get more info. the amazon rep that i spoke with said that it depends on the room temperature. sorry i couldnt be more help. good luck!

I would say not waterproof, as in standing water for a while would damage them, but definitely good with wiping down and stuff. Be warned, they don't have a latch on the bottom for the bar that slides out to set up the legs. So, if you pick it up (to move around while in use) the legs fold back up. Definitely a problem if you have stuff on it!

I wouldn't consider it waterproof or weatherproof at all, and would try to keep it from getting any water on it. I've had no problems with overheating in the sun, however. In fact, it charged up very fast the times I've taken it to the beach.

I have no idea, I just used it in the Bahamas to carry some light stuff. It does not seem to be waterproof. but I don't think getting it damp will hurt it.

I didn't try it yet but it doesn't look like waterproof, the material seems pretty cheep so I believe easily can be damage by salt water

It is, and it kept my cushions dry very well. The only issue I found is the water pooled in the center and so things would get wet as I removed the cover. Ours has finally bit the dust so I'm looking for a replacement, however if I can find one that has a hole in the middle (maybe for an umbrella) I may get that one, just so the water can drain out.

Not waterproof at all, it's made for the beach. It's like a thin parachute material that will get damp and hold dampness until the sun dries it. For beach, not grass.....

I only use it for holidays and I do like it boy it is not completely water proof. The spill does bead up but some of the moisture does "sit" on the table. This thing is SUPER slippery..one of the grandkids crawled up on a chair and grabbed the table clothe and the whole thing almost can off the table....hope that helps

i agree with prior responses. but i would put some padding around it still. Foam sheet perhaps... best thing for me is water tight. Don't get me wrong I won't put it in a tub of water but in the rain it works out well. It's pretty big. I packed a week's worth of cloths and everything i needed for one week in DR in a privet beach house.

This item is not really for water use. However, I've used it anyway in the beach, lake and pool. I've seen it rusted a bit after I've used it in the beach. I cleaned it with fresh clean water right away and did it not just once but many times. Rub a bit of baby oil and it is now working just fine with no visibility of rust at all.

I agree with the other posters. Salt water is fine but I wouldn't take out in the ocean because the tracking isn't great and strong winds/currents = super heavy drag. Flatwater is best for the Sevylor. I have another inflatable, the AE Sport, and I wouldn't hesitate to take that out to sea tho I think the AE AF performs better on the open water. Hope that helps.

What you need to do is check with the manufacture of this unit. Some people place a large plastic bag over the foot and up the shaft as high as possible and use it in shallow areas along the beach. However you run the chance of a leak and could suffer damage from the humidity of the saltwater. Don't take chances if your not willing to except the lose of the unit from use in areas it isn't designed for. Personally no I would not take that chance. Joseph

My wife and I used it on a cruise a few months ago... 4 islands in the Caribbean and no issues whatsoever.I used it mostly in the 3-5 foot range, but my wife was able to dive down while snuba'ing to about 15-20ish or so. (I think that's a little over the recommended depth, but no issues. We were very careful when in shallows for sand getting into the closing mechanism and also followed the cleaning procedures after we got back to the boat. (I also opened up both slot covers just to dry any random moisture out also.)Even the deep pictures came out pretty decently with less light, very impressed. We had some disposables that were absolutely terrible in comparison!

unfortunately it's not waterproof.... If you don't put water on it, it will be fine, but I would not recommend to bring it to beach.

Yeah, you probably don't want to put it directly under the water though. I took it kayaking and it got splashed a few times and still worked fine.

I don't know how it is on the beach. I have only used it on the deck. Very nice lounger. We want to get a second one.

I have taken mine to the beach and found if you fold a towel in half, lay it flat and set the chair on top it holds up pretty well. Just make sure you bring an additional towel for yourself.
