Does this pill easily? And if someone came out of the water and sat on this inside a tent floor, will the water seep through to the tent floor?

The fleece is anti-pilling and the waterproof backing works both ways so the tent floor should stay dry as long as you don't get so much water on it that it goes over the edges of the blanket.

Absolutely, it works until the last drop. In addition, because you are pumping air in to take the space of consumed water up, and the air and water compartments are separate and placed front-to-back, your pack weight doesn't shift as your water level gets low like with non-pressurized bladders.

It's water proof around on the vinyl but the zipper on the end isn't (like in a flood water would seep through). I bought it because of my toddler having bed wetting issues and it has worked great for that. I live in a dry climate and would totally use it for a cover to protect the mattress if in storage.

Yea Vlad, that happens with almost all tents that don't have a "all covering" rain fly. Something to consider, just use a regular ol' light weight tarp for situations that you might incur rain. Works perfect. I thought that adding spray on water proofing would work to resolve that issue, but has limited efficacy.

Because reviews are mixed in regard whether the bedpad is waterproof or not, i would not trust it. I do not own one, but I recently purchased a new bed and that cover was offered as part of the package. I declined to have it, but I was shown a sample and the waterproof element was demonstrated. From what I could surmise, the pad may indeed be waterproof, but with use, it may develop random weaknesses and allow liquid to pass through. My suggestion would be to purchase some waterproof underpads (often sold for incontinent patients) for the bed, and place a pad or two UNDERNEATH the 'waterproof' mattress pad. That way you would have a little extra insurance against a 'pee bed'. The pads would last a long time I would think. You could also fold a shower curtain or plastic table cover to the appropriate size needed and use that under the pad... you can get the thin cheap ones at the dollar store.

My experience is the water collects against the ground. And, your tent floor should be sealed and doing the real work of keeping water out. The ground cloth, more than anything, protects the tent floor from rocks and abrasions

NO!!!! I used this today in the pool and it had a spot that was no longer sticking which mean water got in it and probably washed away the medicine..sucks b/c I just put it on this morning. It did stay on fine in the shower though but NOT in the pool!

It's very thin ripstop material. It was a perfect daypack. I didn't get it significantly wet, but put an edge under the faucet just now. Not waterproof, but it took maybe 15 seconds to permeate the fabric under faucet flow. I'd guess no for Splash Mountain. For a change of clothes, toiletries, a couple of on-the-go meals, it did great. I anticipate using it for the same things when I get to travel. I would keep a tablet or paperbacks in it, but not a laptop or textbooks. Hope that wandering journey helps!

No , the the material is like thinner umbrella fabric, that is not water proof. I got caught a few times in the rain and the water accumulates towards the bottom of the roof on all 4 sides and leaks through the material. I gave my tent away after probably 5,6 uses in 2 months, after one of the frame parts broke on the top structure. It literally broke, not detached, or screw came out. If you're looking for a more durable frame for that price, get a QuickShade, I had that one too, it's better quality and lasted a long time. Or save a little more and buy a Caravan or EZUP

Absolutely! This tarp is highly adaptable to many situations, and it could serve very well as a rain fly over tents of many different designs due to its many tie-down spots. I don't think you's have any water leakage problems with it, either. Good luck and have fun! Tom

The floor is bathtub style which means the sean is a couple of inches up from the ground. I haven't used it in the rain yet so I don't know if it leaks. You should use some type of ground barrier to preaerve the tent floor

There's no way to keep it from leaking through but it dries fairly quickly. We just left our mattress inflated for a few days before we put it away.

Yes, to let water out, breathability...and yes, water could get in. I would suggest not setting it down in standing water or where water would accumulate if possible.

Yes, actually it is very water proof. I took it camping and it rained while we were away from the tent. We came back to a small stream running underneath the tent and nothing inside was wet. Very pleased with it.

I feel that this is a great backpacking/stealth camping tent. The tent is water resistant, but not water proof. Most rain will just run down the side of the tent to the ground, but if there is any areas where it can pool, then that will seep in. It is best to use this with a tarp or under a good tree. The bugscreen entrance is great for star gazing, and the walls are shear enough that you can see things approaching from all around you in the moonlight. If you are over 6'4" i'd recommend the one from Texsport, its 6 inches longer and is both camo and more waterproof, but not as resilient as this one.

Yes its waterproof... the issue though is you will sweat in it. If your going to Africa, try a lightweight hammock with a tarp for element protection. I would not recommend this for hot weather if you want to be fully enclosed. It does not have "bathtub" flooring that goes up the sides, so if your site gets flooded, I am not sure how this will hold up. Again, in the jungles and hot areas, I would strongly suggest you invest in getting OFF the ground completely, then with paracord and a tarp create a weather barrier.

I would not use this inside a tent without proper ventilation. What I'd suggest instead is to use it to heat up water, then take that warm bottle and keep between your shirt and jacket.
