Is this jacket waterproof? *Properly* waterproof, driving rain for 1+ hour, harsh conditions? I'm a wee bit amused no-one has asked this yet.

Pretty much so. I used it in in the high Sierra at above 11,000 ' this past spring and encountered a hard rain and wet snow. It did it's job well. It's also a very good windbreaker. At some point, all rain jackets lose some of their repellency. I've only had it about a year so i cannot tell how long it will work without leaking, but my expectation is that it'll work well for a few years yet.

Good morning. I purchased the jacket for my granddaughter. She told me it was indeed warm and waterproof and she loves it. She was skeptical, as was I, at first because it is so lighweight. But all skepticism was swept aside when she wore it for the first time in cold, damp weather. She has worn it ever since in those conditions. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I've only used it once so far. Yesterday it rained a little and the few drops I got on the jacket seemed to bead and roll off, no stains yet. I will know as I use the jacket more in the future!

I don't think it is waterproof. It is a heavier material though and it doesn't soak through easily. I've never had a problem with it being in the rain. the outside gets wet, but never the inside.

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

Not waterproof, but it is water resistant, meaning light rain and dew. Size car3 fits my 74 camero good. In my opinion it is the best in it's price range.

I was also considering this product for keeping rain out but if it doesn't do that I won't bother... Anybody had any experience with rain? Is it actually waterproof?

Not waterproof per say. I've run with it in the rain and haven't had any problems. Depends on if the water will get into the headphone jack opening at the top of the phone.

I've run with it in light rain a few times and it has been fine, but I wouldn't call it waterproof. Ive been running in 90+ degree temps and sweat hasn't been an issue for me. There isn't a lip that folds over the device once it is in the pouch or anything so its open on top. Hope this helps!

Definitely not waterproof....we all wish lol....shockproof? Ehh...yes and no. I wouldn't recommend commuter series to anyone though.

In my experience, if you are caught in a little bit of rain, the bag will keep things dry for a few minutes while you get to your car or a building. It is not waterproof, and I would not bet my camera on it in a downpour. I do a lot of shooting in wet and dirty conditions (car races), and here's how I solve this: I keep my waterproof rain jacket in the velcro straps on the front of the bag or hung from it on a carabiner. If it rains, I put the XXL jacket over the bag and myself. This allows me to use the bag, and even move it around from front to back under the jacket, while keeping the water off. Great bag, somewhat water resistant, but not waterproof. Hope that helps!

It is not water proof. With that being said, I have only experienced a light rain when riding out here in southern California. I left it on and did well. And I do mean a very light rain of about 3 minutes. If rained harder I would have taken it off. I would not use it in a rain storm. Also, looking at the manufacturer specs, it does not mention anything about it being water proof.

I am certain about weather resistance. I have used them many times in the rain. I don't know how well they would do if submerged, but I have never even had a glitch in rainy conditions, both walking and riding motorcycle.

I didnt have rain when I used this, however, i saw how people could have the zipper flaps up and not covering the zipper. Also, mix that will putting it on your car backwards. So youre flying at 75mpr against the rain with an exposed zipper.

I have never rode in the rain, and I have never heard that. It does not seem likely to me when all the electronics and battery pack is all sealed up. This bike is GREAT!!

It's not completely waterproof. It breathes enough that my bike feels somewhat damp after it's been covered all day during a rainstorm, but there are no puddles under the cover.I don't leave the cover on for longer than ten hours at a time, though (just at my place of employment during the day) so I don't know if you'd have a mold problem if the bike was covered for long periods.
