is this toggle water proof and able to be outside year round?

No, it's not waterproof. I bought mine hoping that the military - style cover would protect it from the occasional splash exposure on my pontoon boat, and had to replace it within a month, after 1 rainstorm. Get one with an add - on boot. You won't get the pretty light, but you'll have a switch that works when you need it.

Absolutely not! There are waterproof toggles available but you defintely don't want to subject these to any water at all.

hi. with the flip cover, it would have some protection, but I can't say that it would totally water proof. Bob

I would not think this is waterproof. It can probably handle a little mist. I have one on a batterybox i built. The switch is as solid as any type of switch this size is. It doesn't feel like it would take a hard blow and stay intact.

Its water resistant. The water did not soak through during moonsoon season.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

The description clearly states "weather resistant" that means NO it is not water proof....just resistant to a little rain, snow and sun.....might want to use some of the weather proofing spray like they use on tents or Armorall....

It is water resistant not water proof. It comes with a rain cover that pulls out from the bottom and is blaze orange.

Yes and no. I leave mine out year round and open. It has held up well in FL sun, rain and bipolar weather but now is the time to replace it. The next one I plan to spray with that new rain guard to prevent it from being destroyed. It has held up good in the rain. Water rolls off the edges.

It may state that it is waterproof, but I would not trust it to be so. I would not recommend keeping this safe outdoors.

Yes as long as you solder the wires to the terminals on the back of the switch and slide some heat shrink over the wires and shrink it down, you should be waterproof at that point

Definitely. Mine sits on a swing in a totally exposed deck. We have been getting a lot of rain and every time it dries completely. Weatherproof all the way. I love it.

As long as the cover is in place it is water resistant, but not water proof, the cover is not water tight when installed.

Yes, and it will even work better in the winter. But, there is no flap to keep bugs out or water if it rained. You would need to protect it from the weather.

Yes. Very water proof. Have not tried in the snow yet but I am sure it will be fine.

According to the manufacturer web site at (http://www.waterrightinc.com/pages/faq) the hose can be left outside in any kind of weather year round... They tell a lot more about the product, so I gave you the link for their Frequently Asked Questions.
