I am running long distances and sweat. Is it sweat/water proof?

I am only running about a mile at a time right now. When I get finished running it is wet. Hope that helps.

I'm a pretty sweaty gal and when I take my phone out, the back feels damp. I would never trust this in rain.

So far, so good for me personally as far as being 'sweatproof'..i use it twice a week, every week & i sweat a good amount.I wear it high on my bicep and it has not affected my phone under the plastic..

No, it doesn't . I run all the time with it and the phone stays dry. I wouldn't want my precious iPhone 5 getting wet with sweat.

If you are looking to swim with your phone in it, no. I ran a half with it and splashed water on myself and sweat a ton without issues. But no, it is not water proof. It may repel water, but the fabric is nylon feeling.

I have not had that problem, and I tend to sweat quite a bit (literally dripping after a couple of runs while visiting FL last month). The band's material is pretty substantial, so I don't think moisture can get through it from behind your phone. Sweat could potentially come through the opening at the top, but I still think it's unlikely.

The front plastic screen provides a shield against liquids, however the surrounding mesh does absorb moisture. I do not recommend intentionally running in the rain with this armband.

I just got the band, so I have used it only once while running. I ran for three miles pretty intensely and my phone was not wet at all afterward. I would strongly recommend the product.

Yes. I have been using it on a daily basis at the gym as well as running. It does not accumulate any moisture.

I don't think it's water proof, but as others said it zips tight and I wouldn't be afraid of say a slight shower or drizzle. Nothing for long periods of time.

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.

Not waterproof. The front is a little shield piece of plastic The band itself is just elastic material. If your have a case on your phone (it will fit but it is tight) that should be your sweat protection.

Yes, but it absorbs the sweat and just keeps it generally moist - haven't seen actual water/sweat ON my phone when I take it out. I am a pretty sweaty guy who is usually drenched by the end of my workouts and haven't had issues. But keep in mind I live in LA and it has rained here ONCE this year, so If you were about to go run 10 miles in the rain in Seattle, I'd say look for another product. Wouldn't want you ruining a $400 phone!! Basically, its great for the price you pay for it.

I don't notice the chest strap when I work out. I get sweaty, but not sure if it is waterproof.

Water resistant and that used loosely... It's good against sweat or if you get caught in a sprinkle but not extreme water contact. I hope that helps

I have found that between the fabric of the band and the silicone of the cover, sweat really isn't a problem. I have had this for almost 2 years and have had no damage to my phone.

I wouldn't say it is sweatproof. It's not that heavy. When I wear it and sweat or get water near my face ( like swimming in the lake), it separates a bit and makes little white beads on my face.

The product itself has not deteriorated from water or sweat during my use. Nor have I had problems with sweat getting into the phone itself. Keep it mind it does not provide any waterproofing of the phone (normally your sweat will not drip into the phone either) although it does make it more water resistant.

It is 'water resistant' to 30m. So yes I would say it's waterproof. However even though it is waterproof, you will not get readings while underwater. For example triathletes can wear it during the swim portion so they don't have to take it off and put it back on but they will only get HR readings during the run and bike. It pairs via ANT+ so it is compatible with the vivoactive. Reference: http://www.thisisant.com/directory/vivoactive/Hope I could provide you with the answers you are looking for.
