do these absorb water in the rain?

i am sorry to say i no longer have this item as it has been thrown in the garbage. i read the back of the package and saw a warning which stated " this product contains chemicals known to the state of california to cause cancer and reproductive harm , wash hands after use." remember these are handlebar grips!!!!!!!!!

YES! I did not realize "no more than any other foam handlebar" meant they become completely saturated and begin rotating around on the handlebar. Because I may get caught in the rain while riding someday, or I may leave my bike out in the rain, I will be finding new rubber grips.

I've not ridden with them in the rain to speak of, but when I've cleaned the bike water retention was not an issue. They are denser than a sponge and not absorbent.

I don't know, I bought them to replace the foam protectors on my mom's shopping cart

I don't know? I use them inside as machine quilting frame handles. www.buildaquiltingframe.com

No more than any other foam handlebar cover, and they dry out quickly. They are very comfortable and high quality.

Not at all! In fact they absorb water beautifully. Only downfall isn't they aren't super soft like the kohls Vera wang line and the gray color has a brown undertone

There is not a waterproof layer. You can add a "panty liner" to help absorb if you wish. The outside gets wet, but it's not too bad because there are a few layers of fabric. I love these!

Lids are very strong. I've dropped them full of food before and they stay on. The lids also snap on tight - so yes in the rain they would keep water from getting inside.

They won't rip right away, but they will after a couple of times and you will track wetness around the rest of your house. No, they are not waterproof.

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. They are an elastic cotton, which will absorb the water. Similar to a sweat band.

Have had them outdoors, rain and shine, so yes, they are water resistant. The area where I use them are on the steps leading to the front entrance of our home and it is not covered area, so they get rained on and are exposed to water run-off.

They do not absorb much water. I use them to protect tabletops from hot dishes and casseroles.

No...they do not, but they absorb quite well and are thicker than most other pads. They are above average quality and fortunately affordable for someone like me who is on a fixed income. Thank you Prevail!

I don't know if they were designed to be waterproof, but I used them outside in the rain and had no problems.

They are not absorbent. They are used to protect cloth from diaper creams or make it easier to clean poo off the cloth.

They won't feel dry to the touch, though they do not look wet. They are pretty good to have around when its rainy outside. My poodles hate going out on their own when its wet and if I am not around to let them out they will use these instead of getting their feet wet.

Yes, but only if the water level doesn't rise about the top of the sock. I used these when snorkeling, so they were fully submerged as soon as I got in the water.

They are made for tropical locals that see a great deal of rain, so this shouldn't harm it. Also, they dry quickly, so after a few hours, they are dry! Love mine!

They are waterproof as far as rain or even pressure washing goes. I have not tried to submerge them into water as of yet. But in order to do that water would have to be 3 foot deep.
