Is it waterproof? And does the paint fall off?

It definitely is not waterproof. However the ones I received was flaked off when it came in the mail.

No it isn't. It is canvas with no waterproofing that I can tell. We don't get rain here very often, but I did have it out when sprinklers came on and the canvas absorbed the water droplets almost immediately. I expect a hard rain would have soaked it and its contents.

As to raining on it or splashing on it, yes it is waterproof. As to submerging it under water, no, because it would leak at the zipper. It's not SEALED.

It is not waterproof. However, water will not hurt it (you use water to break it in). But it most likely will not run at top performance in water and brushes will wear out quickly.

I would say its very water resistant not waterproof. I have it mounted under my back bumper for camping. Its been there a year and works fine. The inside of the unit shows little sign of corrosion. The spring lid snaps shut and holds tight.

Yes, its waterproof. I have had it outside for months, no leaks or water problems.

I would say it's NOT waterproof, maybe water "resistant". It is sturdy and could probably be hosed off if needed though.

Yes, it is waterproof! I think you will like it. But, don't put it in the washer, just hose it off.

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.

I haven't had any issues with it coming off. I believe the use the same kind of paint that's used on BBQ's.

It is not waterproof as shipped. To be sure, I would use a product like Scotch Guard to provide better water resistance. I also would not drop it in water. I love mine as I keep it in the storage space of my scooter, however, getting it wet is not good.

It is not meant to get wet. However, there is someone who shared pictures on Facebook after they accidentally ran it through a project through the dishwasher and it held up. If you are going to put it outside I would suggest sealing it with something waterproof.. or weather resistant.

You will need to waterproof it really well but the description says you can't use it in a wet environment, I used it on my fence and didn't paint over it too well so once the paint peeled the stuff got kinda soggy and came off.

I don't know if the decal is waterproof but it doesn't just easily fall off.

It is not water proof if you drop it in water, and it becomes completely submerged. It does protect it from rain and splashes.

Yes it's waterproof. You would wipe it clean. I wouldn't put it in the washer.

Yes. Doesn't look like the paint will come off and not made of spongey material.
