RE: How do you waterproof Summit Seats?
Your decision, but sounds sorta' foolish. Any foam seat you get wet will hold the moisture, and any foam seat will be more comfortable and durable over time than a net seat.
Something to look into is NikWax brand waterproof products. They make various products for multiple substances/applications. Their waterproofing supplies accompany almost anyone who has/had trekked up Mt. Everest---yeah, the stuff is that good. It is simply a wax polymer that forms a protective seal---water beads up and runs off in rivers.
I use a NikWax leather/synthetic waterproofer for my boots (one designed for Gore-Tex), and they make one specifically for tents and bags that could be used for seats.
The only obstacle is you will probably have to go to a camping/hiking store to find the stuff, but it's well worth the $$. A single bottle will cost you about $8.
