Is the device weatherproof, i.e., appropriate for backpacking, rainproof, temperature proof, etc.

I am not 100% sure, it seems pretty durable. You may want to contact their support staff. They are very quick with responding. Their email is contact@strongvolt.com

Hi Andrew- the StrongVolt Solar line is splash and weather-resistant. It cannot be fully submerged, but it will continue to function in light drizzle and or splashes. Please take special care to keep the USB connector and your electronic devices out of the weather. The operating temperature range is from about 15F up to over 120F. It is the perfect accessory for backpacking and camping trips and is extra lightweight and portable for when size and weight count. Please email contact@strongvolt.com with anymore questions. Thanks --Nika

While it is water resistant, I've had it survive a light mist, but wouldn't trust it for a solid rain or sitting in a puddle. Especially with the solar panel...any moisture in that and you'll have to rely on the USB charger, if it works at all.

I think there's also a weatherproof element to the A3. Largely due to the ability to use it without mains power and the associated rubber covers that prevent moisture entering the terminals on the rear of the device.

No, it is not water proof, but for short walks in the rain it should be able to keep your laptop dry. If you want a pack that is totally waterproof look into brands The North Face. Hope it helps!

Unfortunately, I also can't say much about its ability to withstand rain. I can say that after two nights of camping, when I went to pack it up, there was some condensation on the bottom of the tent under my sleeping bag, but nothing major. As for backpacking, it depends what you are looking for. I'm fairly certain you can't beat the price, and although I haven't personally owned any backpacking-specific tents, I can compare it with what I've seen in stores. It's a bit less compact than a lot of typical backpacking tents, but it's by far the smallest "normal" tent I've seen, and likewise, while there are backpacking tents that are designed to be super-light that have this beat, it's got to be the lightest tent I've camped in. When I went camping, I brought along a small tarp. That way, if it started raining heavily and it turned out the tent wasn't up to the task, I would have some extra protection from the rain. Depending on how much you want to bring backpacking this may not be an ideal solution, but for the money, I'd recommend it. You can always decide to upgrade to a pricier tent later, and this one won't set you back much.

I'm sure it's well resistant, but I wouldn't bet on PROOF without some additional epoxy covering. You could give it a shot ... It's not an expensive test. The water will likely interfere with the wireless signal if it is submerged, though. Probably will make the device very hard to use, unless you're just talking about weather resistance for outdoor use. As with all projects of that nature, try to give them a little protection from the brunt of the rain force, but they will handle the splash back without a problem.

Its not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. As long as everything's fully zipped up it can last through light rain.

Consistenty, any electronic device will be affected in the long run if it's not waterproof. The life span will still last long for this device.

Yes it works perfectly! However the water resistant feature is something to be desired!

Yes it's waterproof. It does fine in rain and such. You planning to scuba with it?

I can't say that it's waterproof, you'd have to rely on the manufacturer to answer that. But, I have ridden in the rain several times with no issues.

I would say water resistant. I mean if your protecting from a monsoon rainstorm nothing is going to be waterproof.

I rather not, unless you have it shield from the rain or when it is not raining. This item is not weather-proof.

No...... this device isn't water resistant in that sense. I ran w it in a light rain and the bezel had some difficulty,,, there is a Garmin that is water resistant, but not this one. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't recommend it. Sweat proof, yeah...but I wouldn't say it's rain proof.

I would call it water resistant, not waterproof. Its made to withstand rain, snow etc.

No definitely not - It is not sealed or waterproofed. It would be OK I think in a rain, but a swimming pool would be out of the question. Besides the moisture issues, chlorine (and salt too) are very corrosive to electronics.
