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 wouldn't put these out in the rain. They're solid brass and the rope is velvet. The rain would ruin them.

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

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.

Yes, they are waterproof. It's one of their bigger selling points, and it states it on the box. We've had a few downpours and 2 snowfalls, and they still work great (they're out in the open, not under any kind of shelter)!

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.

Good question, they are water resistant. I have taken them in hurricane weather however and the items were only moist after trip. Good bags for the price but if you want waterproof try the Ortleib brand.

They'd be perfectly fine in light to medium rain. I'm not sure about a torrential downpour though and certainly don't take them swimming.

I would say water resistant. I mean if your protecting from a monsoon rainstorm nothing is going to be waterproof.

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.

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.

I don't know about water proof. By they can withstand being outdoors. I've got mine in the front of my boat on the railing. They get splashed on lightly and rained on. They work and sound pretty good
1870097
they are designed for boat so I would say water resistant but not proof, you don't want to immerse them into water.

I haven't left them out in rain, they are not waterproof that I can tell. However they dry pretty quick after sat on with wet bathing suits.

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.

Never dropped it in water but... I have had rain in them and they're fine. I own and operate a security firm that uses these

I believe they are water resistant not water proof. I have used mine in a short coarse truck in the snow a few times with no problems. Also in the rain with no problems.
