Just how waterproof is the Carbon Full-Cycle Twill? I would need it to survive a Boston winter.

it poured yesterday here in NYC and I was walking in the rain about 6 block to my car with no umbrella. The contents in my bag where still dry. It does a good job I would say. I had 10 manilla envelopes in my bag and none were affected by water.

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.

I've used it through 2 winters and at times it was buried under snow. No problems.

Yes indeed. I have had mine outside in rain and snow for the past year or more. Just make sure it is snapped closed!

I leave it outside all summer. Has held up well. I took it in for the winter though.

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

I used the Tech-Wash and was impressed with the results. Unfortunately, the waterproofing (2nd step) was non-existent. This was on a $140.00 Carhart rain jacket that lost its weather-proofing. I haven't heard of the Loft Tech Wash, I just wanted to give you a heads up on the waterproofing issue. Hope I helped you...

I've only had it for a year, but started it back up and it is working like a charm again this year. The bugs are really bad here in MA and it did a bang up job last year. It seems pretty sturdy, I pulled it in kind of late last year once it started snowing and it started right up. My mom has them and actually convinced me to get one and hers have worked for at least 5 or 6 years.

The flap certainly beads the water and appears to be waterproof. Living on the tundra of Minnesota, I haven't experienced unfrozen precipitation to truly test the waterproof quality. On a more definative note, this bag is exceptional for my law school needs. Happy shopping!

I'm fairly certain it would be destroyed if submerged since it has a battery compartment that is not sealed. A bit of damp weather is probably ok. Too small to stay upright in heavy wind. I haven't used it outside in snow, so I don't know how below freezing temps would affect it. Contacting the manufacturer would probably give you a better idea of the product's limitations.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

It is a high carbon blade, so it will require some maintainence but nothing too extreme. Just keep it dry when not in use.

"Weather" proof-yes. "Waterproof"-no. It will take some water like if you left it out in the rain over night, itd be fine but it wont be fine if you drop it in the lake.

The cover absolutely is fully water proof. Our BBQ was on the deck, covered, all winter in the Denver area. We had snow, hail, rain, etc. and it was dry as a bone. It has two straps to hold it down in the wind but it fits so well we didn't really have to use them.

Semi waterproof. I've dropped it in the snow and on the ice. No damage occured . I wouldn't submerge it.

It seems to be all waterproof. I ran it to an outdoor extension cord and it's been fine in Portland rain.

We get a lot of rain in Georgia, and yes, it appears to be waterproof. As far as snow in concerned, you would have the mower as support, so it should be just fine.
