Is it waterproof? I live in Oregon where it rains a lot!

The top of the bag is plastic and hangs over the bottom when closed. I was in a light sprinkle and my phone was dry.

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.

I've ridden in the rain with no problem, but I wouldn't trust my phone in the case without a plastic bag over it.

I don't think it's waterproof but they do get wet because the rain sometimes comes in sideways with the wind. We haven't had any issues yet.

I have not used it n a heavy downpour. I've been in light rain situations and had no problems. The plugs all fit snugly. I'd be comfortable saying water resistant more than waterproof. That said, I've had mine (two units) nearly a year and have been very happy with the units.

I sent it to my kids in California. It never rains there so not really sure if it is waterproof. I does not hold up well in high winds.

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

Yes, its waterproof. I have had it outside for months, no leaks or water problems.

I have not had mine out where it can get a ton of rain so it's been fine, but I'm sure it's probably not waterproof. It's a very simple design, plastic back has a lip that pulls away from the rock, revealing the compartment.

Water proof? I am not sure what you mean. Yes, it is rain proof. It is built to mil spec so it can be used outdoors. Maps are a very touchy subject. Another commentor jumped all over me on maps. Go to Garmin's website, look for maps under the Oregon 650t. The U.S. is divided into several districts. You have to buy the map you want at 100.00 a piece. I was not interested in traveling outside the U.S. so I didn't look for those maps. Sorry, I can not offer an exact answer. Waterproof means many things to many different people. Are you planning on using it to dive with or just considering dropping it in a mud hole? You can use it in the rain. Anything else, I would not try.

It has worked very well for us. It is not protected, and we have had some rain. It is working fine. We haven't had a lot of wet weather, but enough that I can say that it seems to be waterproof.

It holds up surprising well. Last summer I was backpacking in the gorge (northern Oregon) and it rained for almost 24 hours straight. I was dry the whole time.

Absolutely. I've had in during some hard rains and zero leakage. Now what this isn't is airtight. So if you're in a humid place, moisture will get to whatever you're stashing. But as far as rain and water, yes it's waterproof.

I wouldn't go as far as saying waterproof. Water-repellent is more like it. It will definitely keep dry in a light rain, but not if you're out in it for hours or caught in a torrential downpour.

I don't know about water proof but I have has it in my hard hat during light rain so far and no issue. We have not had much rain this year except a few light rain days

No, it is not waterproof. I'd say it is resistant to light rain, but it can and does get wet.

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

It is water proof . Though its not storm proof. Heavy rain will get in bottom-up.
