Are these covers waterproof? Would they keep cushions dry in a heavy rain?

Yes they are waterproof. They have a heavy backing that keeps furniture completely dry. Very good quality.

They are. The material is thick. The only negative thing I can say about them is the straps are easily ripped off.

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've not ridden with them in the rain to speak of, but when I've cleaned the bike water retention was not an issue. They are denser than a sponge and not absorbent.

The cushions can both be removed. I've never had mine out in the rain, so I'm not sure how long it takes to dry. I keep mine on a covered porch.

We have used the covers for our winter here in South lake Tahoe with good results. They have protected our outdoor furniture successfully. The cushions were dry when we uncovered this last weekend.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

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!

I think rain would ruin them. I bought bar chair covers and leave the stools covered except when using them.

I don't know if they were designed to be waterproof, but I used them outside in the rain and had no problems.

I don't think it's waterproof but they do get wet because the rain sometimes comes in sideways with the wind. We haven't had any issues yet.

If sealed tight these would keep rain and moisture out. I would not submerge.

I agree with M.Giese. Do not submerge them. I do think they are very water resistant. Very heavy rain. They could be made pretty much water proof with very little effort

I leave my chair cushions outside. They are on a covered porched, but they are exposed to rain/snow. I've had mine for almost a year (purchased 2 colors), and so far they are holding up nicely. I expect in full sun dark colors may tend to fade - perhaps the manufacturer can provide more information. These are nicer than the cushions I found at local big box stores.

The cushions are vinal covered foam... that would soak up water if let out in the rain. Otherwise, can be used outside.

They seem to be, yes. But with consistent rain and soaking, anything would get wet eventually. Just add a water repellant to the cushions every year. I bought covers from Home Depot and cover wen not in use bc we have so much pollen in the mid-Atlantic region.

I keep cushions in mine. The box is waterproof but not airtight. So I usually try to throw a tarp or something over the top if it's raining really hard or snowing a lot. It can handle light rains but I like to add insurance in really bad weather.

Fabric is sturdy to the sun...of course any excessive direct sunlight will eventually damage anything. The pillows are not rain proof, if u spill something on them it can be whisked away by hand or towel, but if left in the rain they will absorb lots of water I made the mistake of leaving it out in a down pour and the pillows had to be squeezed to remove all the water

Rarely do they ever retain water. Sometimes after an extremely hard rain some cushions may retain some water, you'll know which ones as they would be very heavy. Simply tilt them or set them up against the furniture and it will drain out. I bought a large stiff horse hair looking brush and I brush off the leaves and debris regularly. They are holding up very well (green cushions) and have faded a bit but I do have them in the brutal FL sun daily with no covered area or shade for them. I love this set. They really make it look like a high end home or hotel.
