What's the mat made of? Specifically, how waterproof is it?

It looks like a very thin floor mat that you might see on the floor of a retail store. I'd call it water resistant, we do keep the dog's bowl on it. The bigger issue is that it does not actually work. Our roomba stalls when it hits the mat, making it a very expensive dog bowl mat.

It looks waterproof enough, like a door mat. I haven't used it enough to get it so dirty that sweeping wouldn't suffice, I just put my pineapple plants on it during the winter, so J. Edgar (my iBOT) won't knock them over and/or eat them, (he'd like to do that, I'm sure, and he can't be watched ALL the time) then I roll it up and store it when the sun comes back. It's expensive, but worth it.

it is definitely waterproof. I use in the shower and have a bag of about 15 lbs of children's toys handing in a net bag from it.

It is a woven canvas like cloth fairly heavy. Seems durable enough, I never have it out when it is raining so don't know if it is a water repellent fabric or not, I have it mounted back under the eaves so it doesn't ever get wet. Sorry this wasn't any more help for you.

Its waterproof. I bought a cloth cover to go over it for more comfort. Worked great for me!

it appear to be a clear vinyl, with a electrical grid imbedded between the layers. This is my second mat.

I've had a couple of the mats for 5-6 years- they have no moving parts and are waterproof, probably the biggest danger to their longevity would be putting sharp bends in the cord.

definitely not waterPROOF. resistant? maybe. just buy the thing, if it gets ruined it is cheap enough to chalk it up.

The top is 100% cotton. The bottom is waterproof but not plastic. Unknown what material it is made from.

I could not find anything that clears states if it is water proof or water resistant. However, it is made from 100% polyester material, which many consider to be water resistant.

The material is a heavy cloth, not exactly sure what. I believe it is not actually waterproof, but it is thick and therefore would be able to repel light rain for sure.

It is a fabric material. Good enough to prevent abrasions if you landed on the usual places like your hip or knee because of the reinforcement pads. It repells water, but I don't recommend it for constant rain. Got caught in a downpour, and couldn't hide shelter for 30 miles. The pants soaked through.

It is a waterproof material with an elastic band on top. Very good quality. I have been using the same two for twenty months. I throw them in the wash every time with the diaper laundry and the elastic is still excellent and the liner is intact.

My experience with this mat is that you would not slip until it gets really wet!

I gave the mat as a gift to my niece's daughter and she claims to have washed it and dried it in the machine and it came out good as new. Hope this is helpful.

The mats I received were made of a foam rubber material and they are quite durable. When new they did have a plastic/rubber oder that has since gone away. They are washable. Just wipe with a soapy clothe, rinse and let dry.

Hi DenverGardener,Linda is right, the mat is 1mm thick. It is made up of a fiberglass mesh coated in silicone. I hope this helps, and feel free to ask any other questions you may have.Linda - great to hear that you like it!The BrightSpring Team

It's a heavy canvas material. Probably not waterproof per se. But I wouldn't be too worried about leaving it in the back of the truck for a light rain. This bag is flat-out awesome. Still love it.
