Waterproof outdoor fabrics will completely resist water and keep it from soaking into the fibers of the material. NONE of the fabrics offered for replacement patio cushions are waterproof. Outdoor fabrics such as Sunbrella are designed to be breathable, so they are considered water repellent and not waterproof. Over time, the water repellency can be refreshed by using 303 High Tech Fabric Guard which is available on this website.
