Do they hold up in rain?

Mostly, obviously stuff in front pockets gets wet, but stuff in main compartments stays mostly dry. IF there are clothes not in plastic bags, they'll get damp (I think the wind gets water under the flaps since they're only attached by the bucket and not a water-proof zipper. There's definitely not like ppols of water in the main compartments, though.

No opportunity to test resistance to water or rain - yet. It sure *seems* like they would be. Materials appear to be impervious. Top flaps have long overlap. Suggest caution...don't carry anything delicate until they prove to be waterproof in riding conditions you may experience. One note: a couple weeks after new, one of the straps pulled completely off the bags. Two lower straps work OK. Just aggravating that brand new product comes apart so easily. We get what we pay for, eh?

For light rain, they'll be okay, for a while. For heavy rain, not really. After a year of moderate use, the tops of my bags were wearing a bit thin, to the point where they were partially see-through in a couple spots. At that point, after pretty heavy rain for ~1 hour, all of the contents were pretty soaked.Not sure if the wear-and-tear was related to leaving the bags out in the rain too much (I tied them down permanently to keep them in place better and to reduce noise, so outside parking didn't help) or if it was from infrequent near-max-capacity loads.

Yes. Water pools on the tops of them every time it rains here. They don't make a water-tight seal so if you get a lot of wind with your rain, or you ride your bike underwater, you shouldn't count on a bone dry interior.

I didn't have them long enough to test with rain. The first time I put a real load in them--library books, one of the bags tore along the bottom inside seem and started rubbing my spokes. I sent the bags back--not worth much to me if they can't carry anything.

I ride my ebike in drizzly conditions and they keep everything inside dry. purchased mine two years ago and they still are holding up just fine.

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.

Yeah they hold up well in the rain, I was on a training rotation with 30 mph winds laying in the rain on a gun team and they held up great. They were soaked on the foam, but I let them dry and they were fine. Didn't shrink it anything

No; they are great. Have only had them about 6-8 months and brought them in during rainy season which was not much time here in So. Calif. I am very happy with these; they look wonderful in the yard.

Yes they do, they resist well on rain so im guessing they will do good in snow.

I've played a few rainy soccer games with these, and they hold up fine. I'm not sure about salt water though.

water resistant most defiantly, Light (less than 0.1inch/hr rain fall) to average rain fall (0.1inch/hr rain fall) they do fine for my quick 5mile ride to keep things dry. they have a resin/wax type lining but 100% water proof I would say no. I have not tested them in heavy rain though (like a 1/2inch-1inch/hr rain fall).hope I have helped.

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

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.

Yes and no. They do work in the rain and I did see that they accumulated a little water but it eventually evaporated. If they can hold up to heavy Florida rain, I am sure sprinklers would not be a problem.

I do not think you could leave them out in the rain. I am very happy with them I use them for all my USPS shipping and will order them again soon.

Yes. I've only had it out for short stretches in the rain but I've never had a problem.

We have used ours about four times and no tears yet. For the price they have kept us dry so far. But I think any rain suit can get ripped unfortunately.

I have them on the front wall on my house in England. It has been raining quite a lot but I haven't had any problems to date.

Not at all - have had them out throughout the winter and all of our rain and have not had a problem.

I run in the rain with mine and so far no issues, my current pair is over year old. I sweat in them daily.

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.
