can synthetic leather be used in the rain?

Synthetic leather, including materials like polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), generally has better water resistance compared to genuine leather. While it can withstand light rain and moisture to some extent, it is important to note that synthetic leather is not completely waterproof.

In light rain or brief exposure to moisture, synthetic leather can resist water to a certain degree and prevent immediate damage. However, if exposed to heavy rain or soaked for an extended period, water can eventually penetrate the material and potentially affect its appearance and durability.

It's worth noting that different brands and types of synthetic leather may have varying levels of water resistance. If you have specific concerns about using synthetic leather in wet conditions, it's advisable to check the care instructions provided by the manufacturer or consult with the brand directly for their recommendations.

Aiya ayiA’s plant leather is naturally waterproof. If you get caught out in the rain, it will hold up and keep the water out. Afterwards, it is important to care for the plant leather properly. We recommend letting it air dry thoroughly, then protecting the leather with Aiya ayiA’s conditioning wax, KULINDA.
