Is this really good protection in the rain, i.e. is it really water proof?

Impenetrable. Had it set up for a week straight in the northeast in heavy rain without a drip. Water did pool in the low spots as expected, but did not leak.

Definitely water proof. Withstood torrential storms in May with some good anchoring. I mentioned this in my review of the tarp as well.

Yes, very much so. So much so that you have to make sure you set it up so that there is a constant slope in the fabric (or you will get pools of water on the top weighing the tarp down). Survived 10 day trek at Philmont with being set up and taken down 9 of those days (we were at the same site for 2 nights to make the 10th day). I would buy again.

I've had this set up in my campsite in every kind of rain !!.......and I mean driving rain !! Trust me you will stay dry. The first thing I bang up and the last thing down. It's really awesome. It'll sag a little when wet or this time of year with leaves......but just tighten it up till it dries out.

My 9' Noah's tarp is 10+ years old. The seams have lost their tape, and they do leak a little. The fabric is still flexible and overall water resistant. It's held up through some extreme weather, and refuses to warrant replacement.

It works great in big rainstorms. The reason I bought it was because my friend has had one for about 5 years And it's still holding up.

I don't think it is waterproof, although my son has used it in the rain and not had a problem.

No. Its reasonably waterproof, but for a medium rain or if you live somewhere like the Pacific Northwest you should purchase one (also available on Amazon).

Hi Rach, yes it is water resistant to only certain extend but not totally water proof and it does not come with a rain cover.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

I haven't used it with rain, I use it as a sun protection, I'm sorry! But I think it should not be good for heavy rain since it is not plastic. ..

It is fine in the rain. It utilizes o-ring seals to keep the internals dry. I use it nightly walking the dog and could not be happier with it.

Yes, I found that it is waterproof. I used it during a very rainy weekend and it was great.

I have used it in a driving rainstorm for more than 6 hours with no issue so I would have to say yes it is water resistant

It's not waterproof but it works in the rain. It is small enough to cover. Won't work in extreme heat.

No, I believe it is fine in the rain but I would not shower with it as it is not water proof.

Yes it is weather proof and yes it will hold up in rainy weather. I used it all summer in Colorado where it was exposed to all sorts of weather with no problems.

I never use it in the rain. can't answer.But generally speaking, this is good product for the price.

it is not waterproof. it is a kind of fleece material so I think it is ok for light rain.

Yes i have worn this in heavy rain! It keeps you dry! My pants were soaked, and took off my coat and was 100% dry!

I only used it when it was raining lightly so I believe it is water resistant but not sure if it's water proof.
