I have had this for 2 years and several storms later and it is still water proof. I intend to buy another for my new motorcycle. Hope this answers your question.

Water does bead. My bike is outside all year round and stays dry. After two years its stood up to cold rain and snow. Color is fading though but integrity of cover is not deteriorating.

It works pretty well for me. I have a 2009 H Sportster 1200. Obviously I would store it in a garage if I had one or could afford too. With that not being a possibility, I cover it. I have owned several other covers, and this is the best so far. You get what you pay for in this situation.

Don't know where you can find more info. If the bike is important to you get the best cover you can since it will be outside.

I bought the moto-gear covers for all 3 of my bikes. Fully waterproof with hooks underneath to keep it secure in wind or even in the back of my truck. Note, if you have apes or a large windshield, get the next bigger size. I have 17" apes on my cruiser and need the touring cover. Great cover and light weight.

I purchased my beads wholesale. You can go to EBay or check other websites. Sometimes I purchase beads from Michaels or Joanne's but I use them only if I need the materials immediately.

Black waterproof material. Not sure what that material would be called? Not quite rubbery. Not thin mesh? Not quite vinyl? But a sturdy rubberyish under bottom? Hope that makes sense since I had to make up a work for you?

Not sure - water does bead up on it but don't know if would take a soaking or a lot of water

The top part has mesh, so it will not stay dry. The bottom cooler part will not be exposed to outside water. I go kayaking with it all the time my solution was to buy waterproof pouches for dry items. For the money and portability it's a great buy.

I bought mine on eBay. Came in a two pack-little spheres you drop in the water.

I would say water resistant, not water proof. The Ortlieb bags are actually water proof like a riverbag. The mini panniers would hang down into side baskets, but are much smaller than baskets.

Great in the water. Have not used in the snow. I do have 3 snow tubes from LLBean and they are great. Highly recommend them. Based on that experience I'd say Big Bertha would work but it is big and heavy and hard to move about. Also the snow tubes have an extra heavy hard rubber/plastic bottom and bumper that protects the inflated tube. Given that I'd say buy a true snow tube.

Water proof? The bottom of it is open to the ground and air so how can it be water proof? These are just covers to protect from accelerated rust and flying debris as you drive. Better than the vinyl ones though because these don't crack and disintegrate. Good day.

I've put lawn ornaments and hand gardening tools in mine. It has been through a summer, fall, winter, and spring in the north east... there wasn't any obvious water. As long as you don't over stuff it to the point that the middle is bulging out water does not get in. It does not have a seal but it does close tight enough to keep water out if used correctly.

I don't know the info....it was just a really good product, it rained hard that night and it was completely water proof.

It doesn't specify on the packaging and I read the inside just to make sure. It says to store in a cool, dry place so I am guessing that it is not designed for outdoor use, but not 100% sure. I used it on a water bottle and have washed it several times by hand and the lettering has not come off. Hope this helps.

I went to Lowe's and found one that was similar to this, but mine is huge. If you are going to let this sit outside, I would get some sort of waterproof cover because of it being metal, but if you are going to store it inside a shed or garage, I would just get a generic cheap cover.

My wife received a Geobin at an extension office composting class. We used it during last years rainy season here in Florida and floating material was not a problem. Excess water can escape through the holes in the material. We were so please with the results that we ordered a second Geobin.

The only thing we've found that isn't water proof is the connectors. Once we found this continuous strand and secured the connectors away from the weather, we stopped having problems. We're pretty happy with this!

When rolled & cinched correctly, yes, it is completely waterproof...that said, I would HIGHLY recommend adding 1 more layer of protection for very expensive/valuable items, just to be safe. Anything even as simple as 1 of those waterproof bags or boxes you can pick up at Walmart & make sure you test it in your tub or something before using it in case of defects (they happen). We filled the tub & left it submerged overnight w/a towel in it before our rafting trip. This is a GREAT bag!
