Can Airtracks withstand water?
Airtracks are made of a very sturdy type of PVC and glued in a special way, which means that the Airtracks can not only be used outdoors, but are also waterproof.
By the way, we do not recommend leaving the mat in the pool for more than a few hours.
Eventually the pressure will decrease in the mat, and then playing on it can mean it can break faster.
A little less air pressure is of course no problem: playing with different pressures is exactly what these mats are made for.
The chance that water will get in is nil because of the three special layers these mats are made of. You can read more about that further.
Running mess? If there is some lemonade on the mat, that is in principle no problem at all.
Just wipe with a cloth to avoid a sticky mess and stains.
Can I leave my airtrack outside in the rain?
Are you just mid somersault, it suddenly starts to fall from the sky with buckets.
Do you have to drag the mat in straight away?
You can do it every now and then Airtrack It is best to leave it outside for a while, especially if an unexpected rain shower suddenly falls on your roof.
But it is not the intention to leave the mat outside for weeks or months.
The mat can then slowly but surely be damaged and eventually leak.
Although you can easily repair a small hole, it is of course better to prevent the Air track breaks down.
We therefore recommend that you empty the mat after use, and simply store it neatly in the shed, garage or closet.
Also make sure that the mat is completely dry. This way you prevent mold growth.

How are Airtracks mats made waterproof?
Why is it that Airtracks mats are so impeccably waterproof? It starts with the materials.
The top layer of each Airtrack is made of sturdy PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride).
PVC is a type of plastic used in pipes, toys and packaging. It generally does not react to liquids and does not biodegrade.
It is a material that is naturally resistant to water damage.
Underneath the PVC layer is a layer of foam padding, which helps to absorb shocks and protect the mat from sharp objects.
Finally, the bottom layer of each mat is made of PVC fabric, which helps to repel water and prevent moisture from seeping into the inside of the mat.
Together, these three layers form a mat that is virtually impervious to water damage.
The mat has leaked… what now?
Are you unlucky and the mat unexpectedly punctured, perhaps by playing a stone or just a little too wild?
Don't worry, luckily it's made that way! Read all about how you can quickly and easily repair your AirTrack here.
