Can you leave them out in the rain?

You can leave them out in a light rain because they're a fabric, but they will probably last longer if you don't. The sun already wears them down.

We have not, but we have left them out and they have gotten covered by the morning mist, as we live near a lake. And they have continued to function. This is unrelated but we have one that doesn't work and we found putting a battery operated LED tea light inside them, and you can still use them.

Yes, they are polyester not paper. They actually old up nicely for 2-3 years. I live in SE Texas where we get a lot of rain and wind. If you put hem away in winter, they may last longer even.

I watched them glowing last night as the rain from hurricane Arthur poured down. I have had them outside non-stop for several months with no problem. I had some similar lights from I bought from LL Bean and I left them out for 3+ years, winter and summer.

In addition, they are obviously not really outdoor speakers..so be careful to not leave them in the rain..But they pack enough punch for a good time outdoors..

You can leave it out. I wouldn't suggest for long periods of time through heavy rain season but it's pretty durable. What's nice is it only takes a couple minutes to fold up the legs and store it.

I wouldn't put these out in the rain. They're solid brass and the rope is velvet. The rain would ruin them.

Yes they can be used outdoors. I have had mine outside for about over a year. They work perfectly, rain or shine.

Yes we have had them on while riding and caught in the rain. We had no break up in service or any evidence of damage from the moisture.

I wouldn't leave them outside, I'd take them in if not being used. We love em' and wouldn't want to risk what the heat could do to em' :)

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

Yes you can leave them in just check them before you bowl in case they come loose while the ball is hot.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

Yes you can. Of course when you wring them out it will still be damp but it will be ready to pick up more water. They are very durable.

Yes they can if you want them to. That is the way I generally leave mine when not in use.

I leave mine out year around but I also stained and polyurethaned them and they are under a covered porch. I also live in Texas so it is fairly mild weather. Hope this helps.

I don't know. Looking at the construction, I doubt they would short out in rainy conditions. The upper socket can't get rain water in it as its facing upwards. The lower sockets, not much, if any, because they are generally facing downwards. But, they could be rotated so that wind and rain might get in. Others say they can be used outdoors... they probably are right, considering their experience, and the construction.

I would not leave them outside, mine are in the house on my window seat. I hope that helps.

Depends on how wet... might be OK if they don't get drenched.... of course the safe answer is no, must no be used outdoors I think... but might be worth a try... pls. do not blame me if you have problems!

I have mine outside in an unprotected area, doesmn't sem to affect them. Might be a good idea to protect them though,m just a rain shield or something. AJ
