Default DB Blinds.....HOW "waterproof"?

I deer hunted out of mine, ONCE, last season. It was lightly raining....and I still had a pretty good leaf canopy on the trees, here.

Saturday is calling for a 70% chance of thundershaowers.....and I'm thinking I'll get out there to turkey hunt....."IF" I feel safe from the lightning.

But....my question is.....just HOW "waterproof/resistant" is this thing?

I've turkey hunted in downpours for turkeys. The fabric on the DBs is incredibly water resistant. You should have now problem.

I hunted in my DB when it was raining and I never got wet but it wasn't like a down pour either.
My advice to you is to get a can of that water repelent that you spray on leather boots and use it on the blind , you might want get 3 or 4 cans.
It's not going to hurt or damage the blind in any way , just set your blind up in your yard and spray the roof real good and then the sides.
Leave it out to dry and your good to go , you could PM gregholland and ask him he's a DB dealer , he should be able to answer your question.

I havent ever had any trouble with rain no matter how hard. The blind will absorb some rain, and it can slowly seep throught he seems, but it wont be dripping on your head and you will keep pleanty dry!

Rememeber, it's not always 100% but when it's raining, turkeys like to head to the fields.

And MOHO, it's a special picture of the DB.....
