Is it truly water-proof? i hate to put stuff in there and find out it got wet from all the rain we get in the spring.

Absolutely waterproof - at least mine is - out in the elements and we have had monsoon like rain and all 4 cushions stay totally dry, no leaking at all - worth it just for that - but check Sam's!

Yes, surprisingly! Based on other answers, I ordered this. I live in Seattle so not only tons of rain but tons of moss and wet things. I am AMAZED at how many cushions, blankets even and benches I stored in there and it kept it dry - all winter long. I am rating it on 10 months of use through a wet winter, so I am very impressed.

We keep our hammocks in this box when it rains and in the winter. With all of the snow we have had this year I checked on everything inside and they have stayed dry so far.

Ours is sitting on top of an uncovered deck and has been put through the elements so far as we have had a lot of rain this over the past year. Not a drop of water has been able to get in. Very pleased!

I would generally say yes. It has a place for a lock on the front that you may want to use so the wind doesn't blow the top up. I found a few drops of water, but very minimal. I'm keeping my expensive cushions in there without worry.

I bought mine to keep bales of hay in for my goats. They don't need an entire bale of hay at a time, so once I cut it open, hay goes everywhere. I put the bales in the box before I pop the strings. it's been wonderful for that purpose. We just had 8 1/2 inches of rain from Hurricane Patricia that hit Mexico. I dug through the hay to the bottom of the box looking for any water at all. am pleasantly surprised the hay is bone dry!!! The box is sitting out in the weather with no protection from all that rain.

I keep mine on the backporch fully exposed to the weather and have had it about a year here in GA. We get a decent amount of rain with no leaks and keeps the cushions, etc very dry. The lid is also substantial and doesn't seem to be affected by winds in a storm. Overall very impressed with this deckbox. Only thing to be cautioned on is the unit isn't packed all that well from the manufacturer. I had a couple edges slightly cracked from shipment but didn't impact the performance.

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.

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

I'd say it's water resistant, but not waterproof. That is why they include an orange rain cover, which is tucked under the bag. Overall, I'm happy with this backpack.

I would not say it is rainproof. Rain resistant is more like it: I have been out with this bag in sudden showers, and nothing inside has gotten wet. However, I don't think it would fare as well in a very rainy environment or during a more lengthy downpour. Great bag, though!

It is not waterproof. I was in a downpour without a cover once. It held out for a bit but started getting wet inside. Buy a cover. Other than that the bag has held up for a couple of years and is holding up great.

Its not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. As long as everything's fully zipped up it can last through light rain.

Yes, its waterproof. I have had it outside for months, no leaks or water problems.

Mine has not been soaked, but it has withstood rain just fine.But, if you have any doubt I would go ahead and treat it with a water protector.

I don't think it's 100% water proof. It's more water resistant. I think if you are standing a drenching rain for a period time, everything will get wet. But walking around for a short period of time in the rain, it should be okay. My son uses this at all weather to walk in between classes at school.

I would not say 'fully' water proof. I feel comfortable having if it is raining and I am not going to be out in it an extended amount of time. I will add though I am very paranoid about my gear getting wet so I might be overly cautious.

It is not completely watertight. I've had no problems in rainy weather, but the car wash can get past the seal. The contents are safe in the rain. It's a great cover. Thumbs up.

I wouldn't say it is waterproof, but it's pretty water tight. Mine is installed under a covered porch. I don't think it would hold out water if submersed, but unless it is subjected to severely heavy rain regularly, I think it would be okay.

I don't think it is waterproof. It is a heavier material though and it doesn't soak through easily. I've never had a problem with it being in the rain. the outside gets wet, but never the inside.

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 havent had a chance to use it when it has been raining or tried soaking it in water :-). But it looks to be waterproof or water resistant though.... If it has some issues i will post it up here on that...

I have not had mine out where it can get a ton of rain so it's been fine, but I'm sure it's probably not waterproof. It's a very simple design, plastic back has a lip that pulls away from the rock, revealing the compartment.
