I live in Oregon and frequently run in the rain. How waterproof is this vest? Will it hold up well to the elements?!

It seems solid in terms of being able to withstand running in bad weather. I haven't tried it in the rain, but it looks like it would be fine.

I purchased this for my wife for Christmas, so it has only been a month, but so far the Tracer360 has held up to the Portland,Or rain. My wife runs outside about 5 times a week, regardless of the weather.

I do not think that the rain would bother it. ... Buy it this item it makes me feel safe out there when running those dark streets. It is so light weight that I forget I have it on.

So far so good. I live right across the river on Vancouver. My wife spends a good amount of time running in the rain as well and have experienced NO issues yet with it. Been very pleased.

I don't think it is waterproof, although my son has used it in the rain and not had a problem.

It is waterproof, but I always bring mine in during the winter. I live in Indiana. I would expect it to hold up because it is heavy weight and feels durable, and the price is right.

I jog with mine around my neck. I've been caught in the rain and everything inside has been fine. I thought it states it is airtight, so I am assuming so. I have not submersed mine under water to really test that. I love mine. I got the smaller one. I get compliments on it all the time. I wear it on a stainless steel necklace.

It should withstand a short time in the rain. The outer fabric is some sort of plastic weave and there's probably some structural cardboard in between that and the inner padding. I doubt the rain would make it much past the outer layer very quickly. The weak point is the zipper since it's not a waterproof or even water-resistant design, which significantly reduces the amount of time it's likely to protect its contents. Personally, I'd consider it acceptable for emergency light water protection, but not much more than that.

I haven't worn it in the rain but it says it repels water. The feel of the material on the outside would also lead me to believe that it would be rainproof

Not sure if its water proof but it has been tough and done well in the rain.

Water resistant is my assessment. No problem running in the rain with it but I remove it when taking a shower or swimming. No problems so far; it is a good purchase.

Although I wouldn't pour water on it directly, it is pretty resistant towards rain and sweat - and I ran a 10K race with this on a trail course during slightly muggy conditions. Just remember to dry it out once you're done running with it! For casual use there are no problems at all.

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.

Its not water proof, but i haven't had any problems with sweat. I've used it for a couple of long runs(10-15 miles) and no problems.

As long as you use it within the confines of what it says from the manufacturer, it should be okay. i only ever use mine when i run or am in the gym, it is sealed from sweat. and has been great in pouring rain. have never gone to swim with it though...

Ive had it outside through the summer heat and rain in Ohio and it has held up fine. The true test would be winter, although I have this lock on a storage compartment on a landscape trailer that I only use in warmer weather.

I would say yes to the fit as it will be big but it stays on even in high winds. Now as for waterproof I don't know but water resistant yes it is. My husband's bike is under a carport but on the edge so it would be wet in the rain but the cover keeps it dry. Hope this helps.

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 have been in heavy rains for entire days. It hasent gotten wet inside and it sheds water real well. As a kayak-er I cant say its waterproof, it only Velcros shut but even Kleenex just stuffed in it stays dry in a thunderstorm. The top overlaps the bottom section creating a nice watershed.

Sorry, I don't use my vest to swim in so it doesn't get wet. However, since it's a humid environment I would plan on the vest still being wet when you pack. Take a heave plastic bag to put it in and remove it as soon as you get home to keep it from molding. That way you're prepared no matter what happens.
