Are they water resistant or repellant?

These are supposed to be water resistant. I went into a creek and I was sure the pants would be soaked, but it beaded right up and it was dry. I have never been in a downpour, but at some point I am sure these pants will become truly wet.

They are water resistant. I have shaken dew and light rain off and not gotten wet. When they do get wet, they dry quickly.

Not sure about the terms but they deflect water. Raindrops roll off, but if you continued to soak them or doused them in water they would certainly get wet. They dry fairly quickly.

Water resistant yes. Does a great job keeping your items dry. I believe it comes with a rain cover. If not, then I bought one for less then $5.

I would say water resistant, they do have a ziploc type closure at the top, but not sure if submersed it would keep out water

No, they are not water resistant. they have a brushed flannel texture to them.

They are actually waterproof. I am not sure why the description says waterproof effect.

I would say water resistant but not water proof. I always use a towel on the bottom just in case

I agree with some of the other reviewers: I'd say they are water resistant. No zipper probs here. If you want the waterproof, crinkly polyethylene (plastic) layer type, Aller-Ease makes those as well. Search for ASIN: B0017060TM.

Nowhere on the packaging does it say they are waterproof, and it's been too cold around here for any water to collect, so I would have to say they are NOT waterproof. They are made of a thick water-resistant material, so it's safe to assume they are water-repellant. They are supposed to be machine washable in cold water (delicate cycle) and get hung up to dry.

I am not sure about that? They are electronic so I don't think they are water resistant.

I haven't tested the water resistance personally but according to Crutchfields youtube video seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_3RUGW1MZM they are.

Not if you leave them out in the rain for hours or they are sitting in a puddle of water. I would say water resistant.

They are definitely rain resistant. I have ridden to and from work I. Some serious rain and everything in the bags stayed dry. You won't need a rain cover.

Yes, they are breathable and waterproof. My husband uses them and showers with them and they hold up really well.

These are pretty decent Cordua nylon. What denier I am not sure...I peddled in a lashing rain storm for a brief period and my gear stayed dry...I would believe that the packs are pretty good at repelling water, but if subjected to constant daily rolling down a wet road, rainy conditions your gear will eventually get wet. Easy fix is to purchase a pair of water proof covers that will reject any wet for long periods or long trips where keeping gear dry is essential.

Haven't put them to the test yet, but they seem fairly water resistant. The back panels, towards the rear wheel, feel a bit more "rubberized" for better spray protection from the wheel, but I'd recommend treating these with a good silicone boot/tent waterproofing spray, especially along the seams, for better weatherproofing, or do what I did and order a couple of small backpack covers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2FKECA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) for extra protection.

They are not totally water repellant, but do not soak up the water. My cushions are on an outside covered patio and of course, when it rains, they do get sprayed and one gets more rain than others. I have had NO problem with the insides getting totally soaked and getting flat. They always look the same whether dry or somewhat water sprayed. The fabric is heavy duty and of an excellent quality. I am very pleased with mine.

I wouldn't consider them water resistant but would consider the Tango Thong very water tolerable. In wearing mine, they sometimes get wet but always dry without drawbacks like shrinkage or staining. When my Tango Thongs need cleaning due to perspiration or just plan dirt I float them upside down in the swimming pool for a day and then let them air dry in the sun. I hope this answer helps and if you're on the fence about getting a pair of these, go ahead and get them. They are the best and most versatile flops out there.Jimmy
