how waterproof is the etrex

Referring to my 2005 model, not very... There is no gasket or other mechanism from stopping water from seeping into the battery chamber. It will do fine in the rain for a while, but it is definitely not submersible. I do not know if newer models are different.

I have ridden it during rain and wet trails and it works fine. I don't think its submergible though.

I've been out in pretty strong thunderstorms with some driving rain and the FireFly hasn't had an issue. I've also had it somewhat submerged while crossing rivers and it works fine. I wouldn't take it diving, but I'm not afraid to get it wet.

While we have Cateye Computers, this strap monitor is something we do not carry. I could find no information about whether it is waterproof or not. Sorry we couldn't be more helpful.

Although I have not submerged this case it has been left in the rain. No problem with water leaks. Plano says that it is equipped with a "continuos Dri-Lock" seal to assure water and dust proofing. Since purchase this case has traveled to several sites in Pennsylvania, the Adirondack region in New York, Maine, Wyoming, and Montana often loose in a pick-up bed and the interior is fresh as new. I see its only draw back as its weight but consider this a mobile gun safe. Hard shelled, 6 latches with 2 lockable, wheels for easy transport. I consider it maximum protection for expensive firearms.

Unless you are buying very Expen$ive Military Specification [MilSpec] gear nothing is actually "waterproof". It is weatherproof whereby water spray should not affect this unit. Looking at it, they have some very nice seals around the actual unit as well the keypad. I have had a fair amount of spray nit mine with no consequences. However, I would not dare even think about immersing it directly underwater.Dave

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

I've owned one since june of 2013, I'm on the Ocean every weekend and no less than twice a week. Iv been caught in the rain and had plent of salt water splash on the Standard Horizon unit with no issues. I wouldn't throw it over board and try to use it after but its worked well for me here in Maine.

The coil and shaft are waterproof and can be used underwater. The control box and battery box are not watertight. You can get rain covers but they are not submersible. Display is backlit.

The Ace Car Top Carrier is Water Resistant not Waterproof. The carrier has sewn seams and a regular zipper. If you need a Waterproof carrier take a look at the Rightline Gear Sport 2 Carrier. It has sewn/welded seams and a urethane coated zipper that is in a velcro closing zipper flap. It is also 15 cu ft. Rightline Gear 100S20 Sport 2 Car Top Carrier

waterproof. It can stay underwater for extended periods of time, up to 30 feet.

Hello, bought mine several months ago and it has been through rain, snow storms and ice storms and never missed a beat. Appears to be well waterproofed.

I would not call it all waterproof. The receiver and servos are pretty well sealed but the battery and motor are removable and exposed. There is a splash guard on the motor and the battery connection is splash proof but it would not work for long under water. My kids run it through puddles and mud all day without a problem. Upgraded the battery to a lipo for quicker charging and longer run times.

Since we have had it, it has been through a few storms with very little water getting inside of it. I could consider it very waterproof.

I haven't had it submerged in water but I I have been in heavy rain and it worked just fine. But nothing is waterproof. it is very hard for the water to get in. Worth every penny!!!!!

I haven't opened mine up, but I do not believe it is water proof. As for rock crawling, I think if you double up this would be a great servo. I'm running a single on my e-maxx and it has taken some serious abuse, but I don't know if it has the torque to overcome scenarios that rock crawling would bring.
