Is this waterproof... can it sustain rain / snow? Thanks

I keep them out until winter. Not sure how it would do in winter. They are easy to take off and put on.

So far so good. Have had more than usual rainfall this year and no problem. Haven't had snow yet.

No, It is water resistant as it has a coating on the top and seems to hold up to our snow but I would not call it water proof. Very solid.

It is water tight for rain for sure. I havn't had it through the winter yet.

Yes they're completely waterproof ours have protected even under 8 inches of snow. However after a few seasons they do begin to crack and you need to replace them.

I don't have experience with the snow, but mine is adequate for the rain. I am pleased with this product so far and consider it a small investment to protect my mower.

Sorry, I have not used it in that situation (Mostly because I don't work well in heavy rain/snow. :) )

Not waterproof, but not affected by wet or damp weather. Ours worked great for years, hanging under an eave in Western WA state, where there are a lot of damp and rainy days. We moved to Dallas, where we only have brick exterior and set it on a window sill. We got about 3 inches of snow and freezing temps and we forgot to bring it in. Needless to say, it died. We are getting another one and will try a new solution.

Yes, they are waterproof. It's one of their bigger selling points, and it states it on the box. We've had a few downpours and 2 snowfalls, and they still work great (they're out in the open, not under any kind of shelter)!

I would say that it is very water resistant - not water proof. I use my ATV to plow snow in my subdivision. The switch (which is mounted just below the handle bars and above the head lights), ATV and I get very wet from the snow that flies over the top of the snow blade. I have been removing snow using this switch for three seasons with no problems.

Mine has done well in rain and snow. bought a second one for the walkway. Both are hung on garden stakes so no protection from the elements.

It works quite well to keep weather out. It's not waterproof. Just resistant. It will get wet, and if it freezes it will freeze solid. Great cover though! I suggest fully.

It's up year round here, but no snow. It handles wind with no issue. But I don't think I'd leave it up for snow.

We haven't had any snow yet so that I can't fully answer, but it has held up really well against the couple of storms we have had lately. There have been at least three high wind/hard rain storms and it has held up great on the side of our house.

I've used it outdoors in the rain and no issues. I can see nothing on it that is subject to water issues... it's like a lawn mower, or snow blower in that regard as far as how I've used it.

We've had it outside the entire time, and it has done fine. It isn't very heavy, but comparatively sturdy enough to handle thunderstorms for example. We live in the south, so i can't tell you about snow, but i hope this helps

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

The manual says it won't support heavy snows. Looking at the design, I think it would do OK with a light snow load. I doubt seriously it could take a heavy wet load. I've only had mine a few months, and I live near the ocean in VA which rarely has heavy snows, but, I would suggest a heavier duty model for northern tier states.
