Is this really waterproof? I need protection from rain, sun is not a concern.

I do not think it is waterproof, no more than any other umbrella is. The quality is not that exceptional.

Light rain is not a problem, but its not very big for heavy rain and wind driven rain

Yes, it's been waterproof for me. We have have ours on our balcony and it's always up so we can sit outside in the evening even when it's raining.

Yes it is, however from year to year you will need a water repellant spray to keep it that way.We found the umbrella very satisfactory and an excellent value.

Sorry I retuned this item it came broken and I though it was a piece of junk!

Yes, I found that it is waterproof. I used it during a very rainy weekend and it was great.

No, it's not waterproof. I bought mine hoping that the military - style cover would protect it from the occasional splash exposure on my pontoon boat, and had to replace it within a month, after 1 rainstorm. Get one with an add - on boot. You won't get the pretty light, but you'll have a switch that works when you need it.

It may state that it is waterproof, but I would not trust it to be so. I would not recommend keeping this safe outdoors.

Not sure this is the rigt product if you want to protect from rain. It covers from sun but don't think it will help in the rain

The material is a heavy cloth, not exactly sure what. I believe it is not actually waterproof, but it is thick and therefore would be able to repel light rain for sure.

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.

Carmen, very good Sun Protection. Never used the product in the rain, but have my reservations about its rain protection. I purchased a cover for the Product to protect it from the weather and fading when not in use.

I would call it water resistant, not waterproof. Its made to withstand rain, snow etc.

This hat will dry quickly and provide some relief from light rain, but it is intended as a sun hat, not a rain hat. It is not hydrophobic like a durable water repellent treated material. It is made from lightweight materials and should pack easily.

This is resistant, but not rainproof. Basically used as a sunshade to keep the sun out. Definitely worth the $$$

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

No, it is not. A little water-resistant but don't leave it in the rain. Thanks for the Yes vote!

It prevents rain from getting you wet. Alas, it does not prevent the rain from occurring. It is completely waterproof.

It is too lightweight for the rain. I have very sensitive skin and use it to protect me from the sun.

No, I believe it is only water resistant. I have mine outside under the awning of my roof and it has done fine with the rain. Although, I would not leave it exposed to full on pouring rain.

Hello,Thank you for your interest. The material itself is really close to waterproof, however we cannot claim that, therefore we can only say it is water-repellant. We do not suggest that this umbrella be used during raining and windy conditions. Also when the umbrella is not in use, please store it closed to prevent damage from winds. Hope this helps!Thank you,Formosa Covers
