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.

you should be fine, these work both outdoors and indoors. They're water proof.

water resistant most defiantly, Light (less than 0.1inch/hr rain fall) to average rain fall (0.1inch/hr rain fall) they do fine for my quick 5mile ride to keep things dry. they have a resin/wax type lining but 100% water proof I would say no. I have not tested them in heavy rain though (like a 1/2inch-1inch/hr rain fall).hope I have helped.

I don't know for sure but I would say no they are not water "proof" but I would say water resistant

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.

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

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

They're definitely water resistant. We've been in a few light rains and drizzles with them. I can't say how long they might keep the water out in a downpour.

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

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

I've never been in the rain wearing them. As far as sweat, well, they are for runners.

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.

They're not waterproof, but I've worn them through a tough, ton of sweat workout and they're still working. I wouldn't risk wearing them in the rain.

I wouldn't trust them to be weather resistant, the item isn't marketed as such and what you see in the picture is what you get, the connections would be at risk of damage if they were to get wet.

I think they call them "water resistant", but unless you are going scuba diving with these they will be what you need. Trudged through several miles of deep snow post holing all the way and the layers under the gaiter were still dry.

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)!

They may be water resistant but definitely not waterproof. I've ridden with these in snow and rain.
