The material used is very similar to the material used for wet suits. I would recommend to check with your doctor first regarding contact of dirty water and bacterial elements on prolonged contact with your skin.

I have used them on ice/mud/gravel mix and they should be fine for mud/gravel only. You can also try shoes that have a Five Ten Stealth (sticky) Rubber sole. I have used some from the Five Ten company that are great on stream crossings, mix of snow/rain/mud/gravel while hiking.

U could, but its not that effective. They don't absorb well. You're better off using vermiculite for your mud problem, or try to dispense your water more evenly. Verm is very airy and absorbs great

Hello MelonieyIf you can swim with it then mud cannot be a problem. I am using it for running and biking on gravel and paved roads and it works well.Arne

Not waterproof (e.g., completely submerged), but most certain will keep water, mud, dirt, dust and other debris out under normal conditions. I've read that some people have used a thicker seal than the one that it came with.

I have this winch on my Polaris Sportsman, The winch mounts low and I have had lots of problems with water and corrosion. It is a good powerful unit just not good for wet location.

Hi. I have used it for dirty muddy water. I put a pair of women's nylons around the base where the water enters

I've had this unit completely soaked while mudding and river crossing. Yet, there is a rubber plug on top of the unit, this plug keeps water out of the unit and must be removed to connect the remote. Therefore, if the unit is submerged when trying to use it, NO, it is not proof. If you are putting the kind of money in a vehicle that will allow it to be submerged beyond the bumper, don't skimp on the winch. If you want to go Smittybilt, go with the x2o line or spend the extra $$$ for Warn.

That's a good question. I don't believe that it's water tight. So, in the short term, you could use it for scuba diving, but it would likely get water inside and possibly rust or otherwise not last very long after. That said, getting some great shots underwater might be worth the cost of the item.

Well it has a 5000 lb limit so I would say that it would just do the job to get you out of mud or sand but I don't know about over rocks or up hills or pulling someone else out. Might be too much stress

I bought mine for triathlon. The width was essential for my comfort and getting it wet is no problem at all.

If it's wet outside then no way...short dry grass for short distances would probably be ok, but I would probably get a different tool if I was doing lots of this sort of thing.

I'd be afraid that the runner would slide around if it's placed on top of wet mud. The plastic is ribbed on the top side, and very smooth on the under side. There aren't any gripper teeth to hold the plastic in place. I've used this product to line wire shelves. It's a nice weight, but if you walk on it, be sure to anchor it down for your own safety.

I have found that it is water resistant. You can play in mud and water but I wouldn't submerge for any lanth of time.

It will resist water, but if soaked will not come out dry. I have used it on winter gear to keep dryer and gear for Tough Mudder and other obstacle races. So when jumping into freezing water you will get soaked but I felt it dried quicker and cleaned off afterwards a little better.
