Has anyone ridden in the rain with it? How water resistant is it?

I've ridden in light rain with no problems. It appears to be plenty water resistant to me. I wouldn't be hesitant to ride in the rain with it for sure. By the way, it is VERY bright with 180 degree visibility. My favorite rear light is the VIS 180 from L&M;, but for the money this sucker is hard to beat. It also has a great battery.

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

I have not rode in heavy rain with it. But it has done great in light rain.

Assuming you put the rubber seal back in place properly, this light is extremely water resistant. I've ridden in heavy, steady rain and had no problems. Great light.

Water-proof? No. Water-resistant? Probably. I've had this backpack for approx. 2 months, and have had zero issues commuting to work in the rain without an umbrella. My laptop/notebooks have always stayed dry in light to moderate rain, although I haven't tested it in heavy rain for long distances...and I don't plan on taking the risk, unless absolutely necessary.

I've ridden with my in the rain and it survived just fine. During one particularly heavy downpour during a long training ride I wrapped some cling wrap around it before attaching it to the bike but looking back I feel like that was probably unnecessary.

I only used it when it was raining lightly so I believe it is water resistant but not sure if it's water proof.

I don't know about water proof, as I've never taken it for a swim, but I've ridden through heavy downpours before, and it's never given me any problems.

They claim that it is water resistant. That being said, I have ridden through very heavy monsoon rains and winds with it and have had no issues. It also doesn't seem to loosen up on its own and fall off the helmet like many others do.

It def. Is! Ive ridden in very heavy rain and I have not had a single problem. As long as youre not physically dipping it in water, rain water is not an issue. And to top it off, I had a problem with mine a while back due to it not charging and amazon customer service was AMAZING. Product was replaced and sent to me in ONE day. Recommend you purchase!

Yes. I've ridden in the rain many times without a problem. Was in a downpour today in fact.

It doesn't seem to be totally waterproof. We use it indoors and as a dust cover outside. Fits the touring bike real well.

Very - I haven't used it in a rainstorm but my boys and I have spent several scout backpacking trips with it in drizzle, light rain and heavy dew without getting wet.

I haven't used it in the rain, but I've definitely used it after it rained. I actually have it permenantly bolted to a car trailer that sits outside. I've had no issues.

Per their website, it's water resistant. It can get wet; rain, fog, condensation, just don't submerge it in a bucket, pool, lake, etc.- Water resistant design for all riding conditionsSource: http://www.cygolite.com/products/expilion800.html

I've used this on my bike in light rain conditions and everything inside, including my phone, stayed dry. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would say this is water "resistant," just not water "proof."

It does not come with a rain cover but is water resistant/ proof. It does come with a small waterproof bag that you can put put your electronics in, or whatever, just to make sure they stay dry. I have ridden in the rain with mine and everything stayed dry.

it comes with an extra rain cover which seems to work. when I ride, it rains.

I don't ride much in the rain, but it seems to be highly tolerant to rain, if not waterproof. There is a rubber o-ring seal on the battery pack, a rubber plug cover on charge port, the and the power switch is also rubber.

I've used it in consistent rain and 1 downpour without issue. I removed it from my bike and dried it off once I got to my destination but never saw any indication that it would leak.
