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.

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 agree with M.Giese. Do not submerge them. I do think they are very water resistant. Very heavy rain. They could be made pretty much water proof with very little effort

I would call them water resistant not water proof. They protect from evening dew , or fog very well.

I can certify that they are water resistant. Not sure about water proof. They have been in my boat for 3 years and never failed. I put another pair in last year. I won't buy anything else. Great deal, great sound.

They aren't weather proof. They are labeled weather resistant. My two are outside but under cover out if the rain.

They will be fine in a wet environment. Mine have weathered countless heavy thunderstorms and strong winds with no problems. Highly recommend them.

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.

No they are not water proof. They are water resistant. They can withstand light rain and that is about it.

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

I've bought about a dozen of them for my back yard... I live in miami and i just had one good bad 2 weeks ago with not a lot of rain fall for the last couple of months. I would say they seem to be water resistant. But non the less happy with the product.

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'm not entirely sure but after a year of owning them I would lean toward water resistant, but very strongly water resistant. In major downpours I still use a water cover over them (which also isn't completely water proof), and in light rains I just let them stand on their own. Haven't had a problem yet.

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.

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.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

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