Will heavy rain (having my hair soaked all the way through) be an issue?

I have been pretty drenched running with these and I have not had an issue (yet). I tend to sweat heavily and I've worn them for several 6-8 mile runs without issue.

Great question! The reviews I read on Amazon mostly read that sweat wasn't a problem but maybe that's why mine stopped pairing with iPhone 5 as my hair and ears do sweat a lot!

I don't think so. I have short hair and did run with them during a light drizzle. I had no problems, they stayed in just fine

Of course not. But it will protect you and your goods enough for you to take other precautionary measures. A light to medium rain is fine but wind and down pour questionable. It's a great product, easy up and down after you've set up and taken down a couple of times. Plus great price. We use it for the farmers market and other special occasions.

I would say moderate rain. Never used it in a heavy downpour. It got a little wet a few times with o water leakage. Love it!

The cover has been water tight for me. Living in Phoenix, we do not get much rain but when we get it is very heavy.

Our product generally withstands a light to moderate rain. However, if the rain is heavy enough to cause puddling or running water that might move the product, we would recommend a re-application in accordance with the directions.

It should be at least 85% dry. If you're hair is slightly damp you're probably okay but if it's anything close to wet do not put these in your hair.

Yes. But make sure you wring out as much water as possible and hang it up on a clothes hanger. Place the hanger where air can circulate around it overnight . It wouldn't hurt to use a portable hair dryer on it to remove the excess moisture.

depending on the type of hair you have.. if you have thick hair then it doesn't really last in humid weather

I have definitely gotten caught in some heavy rain biking to and from campus and nothing inside has been damaged. It does get wet though and could probably soak all the way through if exposed to rain for a longer period.

Yes. In the event of rain, you can't leave anything in the canopy area, it will get soaked.

I have walked from a commuter parking lot to the buildings where my class is held and had no problem with anything getting wet. The rain drops bead up and roll off. but the distance I walk is not as far as you would probably be going on your bike, so I would say you can double check on the Timbuk2 web site - see the details on the description of the pack you want. I would also send them your question - they are great about responding via email or telephone.

What part of it? Base NO! Unless your a engineer, rain drops yes if you have a lot of TIME on your HANDS. Good Luck. of it

Hi, I've ridden through a light drizzle a number of times. No issues thus far. Hope it helps

I have had this extended in rain and it was fine. It would not be good in a heavy downpour or with strong winds.

I concur with all the other three comments. If you drape the cloth (as I do the very Ight ones) then the rain will go thru and be pretty well distributed. Of you establish it more taut, it will tend to let the rain run off as any surface that isn't horizontal will shed some moisture.

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.
