How well does this kit fare in the rain?

Not sure about how it hadles water, I haven't used it in the rain. I did set up the main box unit under protection just in case though.

The hub is sealed, there's plastic shrink and coiled spring around the cord and the plug ends have plastic covers that fit together. It didn't short out on me in the rain.

I have just had a good look at my case and I think the case would be OK for gentle rain.The openings are at each side of the case and are small. Of course it would depend on how long the case was exposed to rain as once inside the case it has nowhere to escape.

I've ridden with my in the rain and it survived just fine. During one particularly heavy downpour during a long training ride I wrapped some cling wrap around it before attaching it to the bike but looking back I feel like that was probably unnecessary.

Ahh I know it will tolerate some rain, but it's not water proof. If you have it set to intake, it will suck a little bit of the rain in, but be ok.

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've had mine out prospecting in the rain several times and it seems to repel water pretty well. Over time, I'll just spray some Scotch Guard on it to maintain it's repellency if needed.

I've used mine on rainy days but it's not 100% waterproof. Still works great.

It is fine in the rain. It utilizes o-ring seals to keep the internals dry. I use it nightly walking the dog and could not be happier with it.

I have ridden under light and heavy rain and it works properly! But I avoided pushing the buttons... just in case!

As long as you aren't using this in the rain, this should work just fine for you.

Well I have never used it in HEAVY RAIN, but I would think if I had used it, it would work just fine.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

I have not used it n a heavy downpour. I've been in light rain situations and had no problems. The plugs all fit snugly. I'd be comfortable saying water resistant more than waterproof. That said, I've had mine (two units) nearly a year and have been very happy with the units.

We are using 2 and have a third one waiting to be installed, planning on ordering one more. It does work in the rain, have not had any issues with it.

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