is totally waterproof or just water resistant?

Waterproof is such a powerful word. I'd stick with resistant. The port covers really don't have gaskets and such to really be waterproof.

Well, there's only one way to find out, and I'm not going to submerge it. I bought it because we live in a hurricane prone area, but none yet. I do know that it works great under normal conditions.

I have dropped mine in water several times, once in a filled sink, and it was absolutely fine . . . BUT I did not leave it for very long time. I would say that it is very water resistant.

It is water resistant. I do not believe it is water proof. I've brought it out in the rain and snow and it stayed dry. So no it is not water proof just water resistant.

The difference between water-proof and water resistant is big! My experience is that if you are in a rain storm, you don't have to worry. But, if you plan to submerge in a swimming pool or in the ocean, do not expect for your unit to survive.

No, I believe it is only water resistant. I have mine outside under the awning of my roof and it has done fine with the rain. Although, I would not leave it exposed to full on pouring rain.

Water resistant. Very few electronic items will claim to be "water proof" for liability reasons. Even underwater cameras are only water resistant to a determined depth.

I would doubt that any product is 100% waterproof indefinitely. One tiny tear negates the waterproof quality. Good luck.

Yes, it's completely waterproof. I've used it for two years and have had no mildew or leaks.

I could not find anything that clears states if it is water proof or water resistant. However, it is made from 100% polyester material, which many consider to be water resistant.

I would say water resistant, had some pretty heavy rains and table underneath hasn't gotten wet

When rolled & cinched correctly, yes, it is completely waterproof...that said, I would HIGHLY recommend adding 1 more layer of protection for very expensive/valuable items, just to be safe. Anything even as simple as 1 of those waterproof bags or boxes you can pick up at Walmart & make sure you test it in your tub or something before using it in case of defects (they happen). We filled the tub & left it submerged overnight w/a towel in it before our rafting trip. This is a GREAT bag!

Totally waterproof from what I can tell. I've had it mounted on top of my truck now for months and it's taken every element with no problems

water resistant! I used it in China and we did experience rain and my stuff stayed dry.

No it is water resistant. But mine never stopped working and I was out in a thunderstorm for 4 hours wearing it. It's about as close to waterproof that you can get.

I wouldn't say it is totally waterproof, but it could handle getting wet from a rain shower. The connections are exposed in a mesh pouch on the rear of the unit, so any water that enters that area could get into the ports. The outside case is durable enough to last during an extended camping/ hiking trip. It does have locations sewn to the body that can be attached to a backpack during a hike, but you are better off placing it directly in the sun and letting it charge.

No, it is not waterproof - water resistant to a certain degree but not waterproof.

Absolutely waterproof and rust-proof. Mine is almost two years old and show virtually no wear.
