Are these waterproof as in water resistant or as in submersible? What is the maximum depth for permanent submersion?

Well I've dunked one of mine in a few inches of simmering milk (making yogurt) to no ill effect so far, even at boiling temps. I probably should shrink-wrap the end in a food-grade ptfe but don't expect a few batches of yogurt are going to kill me. Submersion's only been for an hour. If you need to measure the temperature outside your submarine these might not work so well, but if you own a sub surely you can afford a few bucks to see if it works...

I was able to use them in boiling water (212+ degrees F) to monitor boiling beer and they survived well. They were submersed past the metal shell and including some of the plastic. It seemed to work pretty well in those extreme conditions. Not too sure about maximum depth

They're sealed with heat shrink, but I'd be careful and put them in a metal probe.

The difference between water-proof and water resistant is big! My experience is that if you are in a rain storm, you don't have to worry. But, if you plan to submerge in a swimming pool or in the ocean, do not expect for your unit to survive.

Resistant and waterproof are 2 different statement. They are not waterproof.

They are 'waterproof' to a maximum depth of 1 meter for up to 10 minutes. Nitrogen-filled design makes them resistant to condensation. As the unit does not have a perfectly sealed structure, it should not be operated nor held in running water.

In my experience, these bags are completely water proof even when fully submerged at shallow depths (I actually used a smaller size one to hold my valuables when snorkeling off a public beach and dove down 8 or 10 feet repeatedly with it), but because of the air inside, it's pretty buoyant. So, while it is submersible, you would have to weigh it down with something to keep it underwater.

I do not think that these are meant to be underwater. They are rated as Waterproof, UV Resistant for Outdoor Use, meaning water proof against atmospheric conditions not underwater where exposed to water pressures. I would not use them for underwater use. The waterproof as well greatly depends upon how well the wiring up of the connector to the cable is done and think that in that area it is very much questionable how good they are. Sloppy work here will spoil the whole connecter in respect to waterproof.

Michael, I am unsure at this time as my son has them at camp. Sorry! (I would certainly not try to submerge it, though!) :-)

The gloves are not waterproof. They may protect you from a splash but definitely would not work for submersion.

No, they are not waterproof. They are made of felt material. They are good if it's dry out.

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.

I agree with M.Giese. Do not submerge them. I do think they are very water resistant. Very heavy rain. They could be made pretty much water proof with very little effort

Yes, water-resistant, sweat-resistant. They are NOT waterproof, so no swimming with these, but rain/sweat will not mess up controls. Best Regards,Mike Emberswww.acousticsounddesign.com888-224-3663

As far as I know they are waterproof. Mine are outside in the weather and I never take them down or turn them off. So far so good!

Yes some models are, there suppose to be waterproof to depth of 3 feet for up to 15 minutes....more REALLY water resistant....bought these for work because one of our ppl likes to drop our radios in any water around, dog bowl, toliet, sink....have yet to see how it will stand up. the most expensive models are water proof as i said earlier. the rest are water resistant.....but still have horrible static problem, ALL THE TIME.

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

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.

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