How water-resistant are these? Not trying take them sailing, but would like to be able to go out in the rain and get the mail.

I wear mine outside all the time, usually on short trips like to the mailbox. I've worn them in rain and snow, but I've always avoided puddles and slush. Dry snow and light rain were never a problem. I never really gave them a torture test, but they are water-resistant in any case. I doubt that they are water-proof.

Not at all water-resistant. If you step in a puddle you're in trouble. I wear them outdoors, to the store, and in the house barefoot. Get them extra big so you can step in and out of them easily. When I'm outdoors I am very careful about water. You can walk on a wet sidewalk, but you cannot step in a puddle. I would not wear them outdoors in heavy rain.

Okay for rain but not water puddles, they are water resistant but not water proof

There not water resistant. Get a shoe or boot, you'd be better off with sneakers.

I.would say that are very much so water resistant.. I wouldn't recommend submerging them. This whole system is awesome!

I think they call them "water resistant", but unless you are going scuba diving with these they will be what you need. Trudged through several miles of deep snow post holing all the way and the layers under the gaiter were still dry.

They are not waterproof but wick moisture away easily. I took them on a trail after the heavy rains we had here in Colorado and walked through a stream. Continued the trail for another 3 hrs and they were great! I threw them in the washer after I got home and they look brand new. I wouldn't machine wash them too much but they've been champs. :)

I have not held the Pyle in my hands, but they appear to be exactly the same judging by the pictures. I wouldn't call these waterproof, just water resistant. They are designed for those instances where you are on your bike and it begins to rain. They would not fair too well being immersed in water.

They are designed for exterior use. Mine are completely unprotected. They are holding up well but we do not get a lot of rain in San Diego.

They are not waterproof but will handle light rain. In heavy rain I will have puddles that form inside the bags. Not a good place for dry clothes or a cell phone to be. If I know its going to be heavy rain I wrap anything important in ziploc bags or plastic grocery bags.

I use them outdoors, but they are not directly exposed to rain. For example, I have one installed under the eves of the roof. Another one in a covered entryway. I don't think they are water proof or water resistant.

It has rained since we have installed these but not a heavy rain. But so far, they are fine. They are very heavy duty. I think they will be water safe.

I would call them water resistant. The rain doesn't seep through the fabric, but does pool on the flooring. And, then your "stuff" will get wet on the bottom. But, if you're looking to withstand a quick rain shower they are good for a get away.

I'm not 100% sure if they are "officially" water proof or water resistant, but I did ride with them while it was lightly raining and they seemed fine. No issues.

We are in the marine industry building barges and Tug boat and they are exposed to moisture a lot and occasionally get slightly submerged in water (appears to be water resistant), but I don't know if they are water proof... Suggest checking with Manufacturer

Yes, I have them outside they have been exposed to a lot of rain. So far they are working like a charm

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.

I would not call them water proof but they are probably water resistant. I believe the bags would start t leak if they were in the rain for very long. I have like having the bag to keep the chairs clean and for carrying the chairs.

I haven't run in the rain yet, but they can handle a fair amount of sweat. I live in Florida and have worn them on some long runs. So far, so good.

They have a rubber feel to them so I would imagine that they would be water proof, I wipe them down but I do not submerge them in water.
