does anyone know what the PPM waterproof rating is for these?

I wash mine off with a hose and brush when they get muddy and I'm wearing them and they don't soak through doing that.

Mine have survived a few weekends going through creeks and mud. I am not sure about prolonged time submerged, but I have had them underwater for 15-20 minutes a time or two with no problem.

I think they call them "water resistant", but unless you are going scuba diving with these they will be what you need. Trudged through several miles of deep snow post holing all the way and the layers under the gaiter were still dry.

no they are not waterproof, no idea on any brand since these are electronic units. I cannot even recommend one.

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)!

Yeah hey need to fix that haha. Though 30fpm would still be an improvement of my old aiptek. I was wondering the same thing about quality until I found this grea review on a blog. It's shows the quality in and out of water. http://www.freevlog.org/index.php/2007/07/10/testing-testing-sanyo-xacti-waterproof-e1-review/ Just got one last night;) hope this helps.

I've bought about a dozen of them for my back yard... I live in miami and i just had one good bad 2 weeks ago with not a lot of rain fall for the last couple of months. I would say they seem to be water resistant. But non the less happy with the product.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

One of the set of mine went out too.... They are "NEW" ones! Not sure why....! Maybe they are NOT really waterproof?!? Not happy with them.

I have not held the Pyle in my hands, but they appear to be exactly the same judging by the pictures. I wouldn't call these waterproof, just water resistant. They are designed for those instances where you are on your bike and it begins to rain. They would not fair too well being immersed in water.

I regards to them being waterproof, I have had no issue. I live in Ohio and mine have been through snow and plenty of rain. I've had no issues with this product. Just be sure to order an extention for your rear strip or its not going to reach.( No matter what you drive!)

Everything I read prior to purchase says that they are water proof but I didn't use them in water.

I don't know for sure but I would say no they are not water "proof" but I would say water resistant

I have a set mounted on my Jeep, they are waterproof, and should not have issues with getting wet.

these are NOT waterproof. I bought 2 pairs-they both went defective after a few weeks. You don't want to buy these.
