How water-resistant are these? Not trying take them sailing, but would like to be able to go out in the rain and get the mail.

I wear mine outside all the time, usually on short trips like to the mailbox. I've worn them in rain and snow, but I've always avoided puddles and slush. Dry snow and light rain were never a problem. I never really gave them a torture test, but they are water-resistant in any case. I doubt that they are water-proof.

Not at all water-resistant. If you step in a puddle you're in trouble. I wear them outdoors, to the store, and in the house barefoot. Get them extra big so you can step in and out of them easily. When I'm outdoors I am very careful about water. You can walk on a wet sidewalk, but you cannot step in a puddle. I would not wear them outdoors in heavy rain.

Okay for rain but not water puddles, they are water resistant but not water proof

There not water resistant. Get a shoe or boot, you'd be better off with sneakers.

I would say water resistant, they do have a ziploc type closure at the top, but not sure if submersed it would keep out water

They may be water resistant but definitely not waterproof. I've ridden with these in snow and rain.

Good question, they are water resistant. I have taken them in hurricane weather however and the items were only moist after trip. Good bags for the price but if you want waterproof try the Ortleib brand.

They definitely are weather proof. They have been outside under a deck for over a year (in Ohio weather conditions) with no issues to date.

As I understand it, they are "water-resistant", not waterproof. I have not had the chance to use these speakers in adverse weather.

I would say water resistant, do not think they should go underwater, but in the rains... no problem,

We are in the marine industry building barges and Tug boat and they are exposed to moisture a lot and occasionally get slightly submerged in water (appears to be water resistant), but I don't know if they are water proof... Suggest checking with Manufacturer

Yes, they are waterproof. It's one of their bigger selling points, and it states it on the box. We've had a few downpours and 2 snowfalls, and they still work great (they're out in the open, not under any kind of shelter)!

these are well made, and have a O-ring to keep out rain and weather moisture, but I would not recommend them for underwater, submerged use. good luck

Yes, water-resistant, sweat-resistant. They are NOT waterproof, so no swimming with these, but rain/sweat will not mess up controls. Best Regards,Mike Emberswww.acousticsounddesign.com888-224-3663

Haven't put them to the test yet, but they seem fairly water resistant. The back panels, towards the rear wheel, feel a bit more "rubberized" for better spray protection from the wheel, but I'd recommend treating these with a good silicone boot/tent waterproofing spray, especially along the seams, for better weatherproofing, or do what I did and order a couple of small backpack covers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2FKECA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) for extra protection.

They'd be perfectly fine in light to medium rain. I'm not sure about a torrential downpour though and certainly don't take them swimming.

No they are not water proof. They are water resistant. They can withstand light rain and that is about it.

I've taken mine on a number of rides, in good weather and bad. The last time I took them on a rainy trip, they held up well for two days (it rained one day and one night.) The contents inside were dry, so they'll handle the rain. I'm not going to say they're waterproof, since if you drop them in a lake of water the contents will get wet. But they'll be fine in the rain (and mud!) Honestly, they're nice to have. They hold a good amount of gear. Between them, a camelback, and some ultralight backpacking gear, you can easily store what you need too and them some! They'll be going with me again on the C&O Canal this spring/summer. Ohhh, they won't hold a bed roll, they're not deep enough. But a small sleeping bag should fit nicely, mine fit, but then didn't provide for much additional storage (except for the outside pockets.)

They would be great for snow protection. I'd say more water resistant than water proof. ...the bottom is leather which will eventually get wet. But with dry, packed snow and not to be used all day they would be fine.

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