How water proof is it? As in if you lay it over damp grass, will it still soak thru to your clothes?

Not waterproof at all, it's made for the beach. It's like a thin parachute material that will get damp and hold dampness until the sun dries it. For beach, not grass.....

it dries quickly and keeps moisture off. I haven't used it on damp grass as I've only used at the beach (it is perfect at the beach). My guess would be lightly damp ok, really damp will leak through.

I don't think it's waterproof at all. The material is just thin nylon. It doesn't feel like it has a water resistant coating or anything.

Didn't test it. But I had it out in a light rain briefly and the stuff inside stayed dry. However, judging by the fabric used, I wouldn't necessarily dump it in a tank of water and expect everything to be dry for hours (or minutes).

I would say more water-resistant. It is pretty thin material and great protection from the sun, but would say in a heavy rain, it probably would get soaked.

I would not say that it is water proof...But it will hold up against a good rain for a couple of hours. There might be some stuff that gets a little wet but all your stuff will not be soaked

I was also considering this product for keeping rain out but if it doesn't do that I won't bother... Anybody had any experience with rain? Is it actually waterproof?

No it isn't. It is canvas with no waterproofing that I can tell. We don't get rain here very often, but I did have it out when sprinklers came on and the canvas absorbed the water droplets almost immediately. I expect a hard rain would have soaked it and its contents.

The outer material is water resistant. I just tested it and water ran right off while pouring from a cup. However, the zipper cloth is not. Dripping water on the zipper, it soaks the water in. There are flaps inside the zipper, but the water soaks into that inner material. With "enough" water on that area, your stuff will get wet. There is no outer protective flap over the zipper. If you were going from a parking lot to a building in the rain, I'd say you're fine. If you were hiking for more than a minute in anything more than a steady rain, your stuff could get a bit wet. Scotch guarding the zipper cloth could be an option, but I don't know if that would do much since the zippers are so exposed. Good luck.

Hi, once it is wet, it does stay cool but does better if you periodically take it off for a minute to let it cool down. It doesn't wet your clothes unless you don't wring it out before applying. My husband and I are golfers so we keep them in a plastic baggy and add ice to it before going on the course.

It's not water proof but I used it outside and didn't have any problems with it.

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

I have it covering a Gazebo on my patio, doesn't leak in the gazebo, guess that makes it waterproof, stays dry.

I wouldn't say water proof, it's proved rather durable and water resistant to walking through the rain. I've had it in some down poor's and the items inside stayed dry. Just be sure and dry it out thoroughly before putting it away.

No, not totally water proof. There was some, minimal, drip. It did block well over 90% of the rain though. I could stand under it while it rained and wouldn't really notice what little did come through.

It is not water proof if you drop it in water, and it becomes completely submerged. It does protect it from rain and splashes.

I used it to camp on the beach in Eureka and it was dry all around when I woke up. I rolled it up and put it in the sack and there was no moisture or wet spots. Never used it in the rain.

It is porous. Air is able to move through the fabric. It was beautiful new. However, my personal experience in north florida, on the georgia line, it lasted less than one summer. For whatever reason the fabric completely disintegrated!!! COMPLETELY , to nothing. No idea what happened. Full sun midday and shade late in the day. But to further answer your question. No. This is not water proof.

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.
