Is Outdura® waterproof?
Outdura® is not waterproof, but it is water-repellent. Over time, normal wear, usage and cleaning will reduce the effectiveness of the water-repellent finish that we apply during manufacture. So, if water-repellency becomes an issue after repeated normal use and cleaning, a specialty product may be used to retreat your Outdura fabric. Water-repellency treatments are available for purchase at most awning- and marine-supply stores. If you need a waterproof fabric, you might want to consider our Outdura Trio®, which is both waterproof and breathable.
