Are the straps mesh? Do they have some sort of padding, and if not, are they at least somewhat waterproof, ie won't stink of sweat in summer?

The straps are not mesh, they are padded and somewhat water resistant but I would not call them waterproof. They do not stink in summer that I have noticed.

The gloves are windproof. As to waterproof, I don't know. It does not rain where I live. They do handle sweat really well.

In all honesty im not sure if they are, but they are made for working out and running so i would imagine that they have some sort of sweat resistance.

I wore them out to Costa Rica and Nicaragua just recently. It was blazing hot out there and my bottoms did get pretty hot still. I only wore them as shorts of course; however, I do feel they were fine for morning and early afternoons. During the rest of the day I was on the beach so I can't say much for the really hot hours. I do feel while in shade when I did wear them (buses, etc to carry my items) I was "okay". Then again, it was insanely hot out. Normally if I wore these in the states on a hot day, I would feel perfectly fine. Crowded areas with no air flow - not so great if you're wearing them as pants. I would still HIGHLY recommend buying a pair. These are fantastic since they're pants and shorts. Really good for nights when the bugs come out or for the airplane when it gets pretty chilly (and when you get off at your final hot destination just unzip them and change them to shorts). Hope this helps you!

yes, they are sweat and water resistant and come with a Lifetime Warranty, so if anything happens you can use customer service.

Yes shoulder straps are padded. They are pretty light weight I would say 2-3lbs.

I've worn them while working out and their fine...as far as being sweat resistant goes, I'd say that you will be fine with these unless you're sweating out of ears, if that's the case you have a much bigger issue. Enjoy!!!

Yes they have padding; I love them. The padding is not super thick but definitely works.

No, just padded. I bought them for my wife to do body combat and she loves them.

Yes! These are the best to use! I use them when I'm jogging\biking\even on the boat. They're not water proof but they withstand alot of sweat.

No. Unlike the pads made with bra straps to keep them in place, these pads do not have the straps.

Vania, they are sweat resistant. I haven't found any that are sweat proof. These are working out real well for me.

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

The bags themselves are waterproof, but I would suggest you review proper sandbagging techniques, with proper overlap. They will certainly keep water out, but you'll need to make sure they are laid correctly.

Mine aren't so I don't wear them in bad weather. I think it's better that they 'breathe'. Waterproofing them could make them smell bad because your feet would sweat with nowhere for the moisture to go.

Good question, they are water resistant. I have taken them in hurricane weather however and the items were only moist after trip. Good bags for the price but if you want waterproof try the Ortleib brand.
