Is the XL200 water proof or water resistant, or neither?

Yes it is one or the other or both. Read the info on line. i think it also is also warranted against damage from some drops.

Neither, that I know of. The fittings can be real tight, and probably would be resistant. I have had it out in the rain with no problem what so ever (doesn't usually rain too hard here in Arizona (Grin), but have never submerged it. My only hassle with it is there are too many settings. Having said that, I'd buy another in a skinny minute. Hope this helps

Maglite doesn't claim this to be waterproof. I couldn't find that on the packaging but since the rubber seals are built tight, I'd say it's water resistant.

It is water resistant, but not waterproof. It has a layer of vinyl-like backing under the outermost layer (front pocket side) and I've carried my laptop in it during some pretty bad storms. No water inside ever.

Yes, it is water proof up until where you plug the cord into the box. I've used mine in the water at the beach with no problems.

To be honest I'm not certain. I've never dropped it in water or tested its water resistance. The battery compartment seems pretty watertight though. Sorry I couldn't help you out. -J

Waterproof is such a powerful word. I'd stick with resistant. The port covers really don't have gaskets and such to really be waterproof.

I would say water resistant but not water proof. I always use a towel on the bottom just in case

it has been made water resistant to the best of their ability - rubber sealed and capped - if a device is plugged in, it will most likely loose some of that resistance. Hope this helps

Water resistant, I'd say, yes. Waterproof, no. I sent mine through the washer by accident and it had some issues for a few days before completely drying out.

I would say no to both of those. It's certainly not water proof. I've dropped this phone from 5-6 feet off the ground and it's A OK. Hope this helps.

It's water proof. But if you are going to use it for your phone you might want to spend more and get one of a better quality. For money, charge card, ID it's just fine. Wouldn't trust it for my phone though.

I would say it is water resistant for use in the rain, but I would not use it underwater. I don't recall anything mentioned in the packaging material saying it was for use underwater or being waterproof.

i can't really say if it's water proof because I've never immersed it in anything wet. It's been dropped many times though and has come through unbroken and with no operating issues.

I believe it's water resistant, but not waterproof. There are double rubber rings on each connection, but personally I wouldn't try and take it under water.

I'd say water resistant. I hunted out of it in a steady rain and maybe only a drop or two made it inside. There are tiny little pinholes around some of the seams. Not a major issue. I can't speak for a downpour, that may be a different story.

I'd say water resistant, though I don't know the actual IPX rating. The DC charger input cover came off on mine the first time I went to charge it (still trying to get it back into place).

Fully immersed in water, absolutely not. They say it is moisture proof, not waterproof. I'm telling you this because I'm an electronics engineer, rather than from experience with the actual device.

I used it once when I was walking in a slight drizzle & the device did not get affected. however, have not used it in heavy rains or dropped it in water etc., so would not know about its water resistance properties. hope this helps.
