Is the material waterproof? Or, at least, water repellent?

Well, I might say it's repellant but it breathes to allow for cooling which might defeat the purpose of the vest for high exertion activity.

Yes it appears to be waterproof. Been out in the rain unprotected, still works.

it does not seem to be waterproof, although it does repel insects and works very well even in jogging and outdoors hiking. I do hope this answers your question, and thank you for your business. have a wonderful day, Jazzy's Express

I haven't worn it in the rain but it says it repels water. The feel of the material on the outside would also lead me to believe that it would be rainproof

I do not see where it says "waterproof" it is water resistant however. I hope this helps.

No, it isn't. The material is water resistant. It also has it's own attached cover, stored in the bottom, that is also said to be water resistant. Maybe with the 2 working together it might make it waterproof but since they both say "resistant" I wouldn't take the chance. I am not sure why they wouldn't make at least the cover waterproof but since on the tag it says resistant then that is what I treat it as. I went out and bought a spray can of KIWI Select Super Protector with NANO particles and sprayed the entire outer fabric of the pack a couple times and I haven't had any problems since doing so. I am the type of person that would rather avoid a potential problem by taking a simple precautionary step that will assure that problem won't happen. In this case, I spent the ten bucks on a spray that reinforced the waterproofness of the pack rather than being on a week long hike and having all my gear be soaked within the 1st couple days because the material is water "resistant"! I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

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!

yes it is a water proof material as it should be. I would think that you would put a cloth pad on the cover when using.

No it is not waterproof. I might keep the water off for a little while, but eventually it is going to soak through.

No, afraid not. Material it is made of is waterproof enough. I like mine a lot.

It is water repellant. As far as water proof, I'm not sure about that. I have not had it out in any big rainstorms yet.

I'm not sure if it actually will "waterproof"; maybe you can ask the company. It is very water-repellent. Hope that helps!

It seems to be made from a material that would be water resistant, but I have never tested it. It is not particularly heavy duty though.

It's not waterproof, but I've biked in the rain with it (not on purpose of course LOL) and it's held up just fine. It's not slippery fabric so you don't slip and slide on it. It dries pretty quickly too.

I can't say from experience, but the whole product is designed to be waterproof. I see that it is waterproof vinyl or plastic covered on top with a nice soft material.

It is waterproof, but we use a thick organic cotton cover under the sheet more for comfort than anything else.
