Is this water proof? I see the USB port is fully exposed. Would it withstand typical rain or submerge in water?

No. It's a ripoff. You ab buy one that's just as good from China for less than $20. Light is just as bright, sub has a cover and also has a built in watch. I have both. Boy I got ripped off on the sure fire model!!!

It's water resistant, but not waterproof. While it was raining during some morning commutes, I have had some devices plugged in. I honestly wouldn't risk it though, granted the battery is deep in the bag, this is not something I would test outside of light precipitation. It won't work while it's sitting in a puddle, but spilling coffee on it will probably not affect it.

I'm sure to some extent it is somewhat water proof.I would not submerge it under water.I use mine to charge a car in storage and it is under my hood.If you intend to expose it to the elements I would somehow keep it covered.Hope this helps,if not contact the manufacturer.

The light is water-resistant. I have ridden in light rainstorms and it performed well. The usb cover at the bottom and the on/off button are both rubber plugs and could be prone to water seeping in if they somehow become mis-inserted or dislodged, which has happened to me. Luckily not during a rain storm.

I have not tested it to see how "waterproof" it is, but there is a cover for the mini usb and audio jack.

I've used my in some inclement weather - sporadic rain, but no downpours. I highly doubt you can submerge it given the electronics involved so I would say that it's not "waterproof". As for your laptop.... I don't know. I only charge USB devices with this unit. I use a GoalZero Yeti 400 for my laptop. Duration always depends on solar angle and cloud cover...

The ports are in the back covered by a snap-on rubber cover. This is some protection from reasonable water/rain exposure. However I would not consider it water-proof and could be breached in excessive conditions. I advise the water-proof dive case and remote for extreme wet conditions.

No, however it is water resistant. Just make sure you have the charging plug on firm after every charge. I have ridden in many storms and even a tropical storm with no issues whatsoever.

Yes, though I wouldn't keep it out in a torrential downpour. The USB and sd card slot covers appear to seal dirt and moisture out well thus far.

not waterproof... don't take it under water. it's good for riding in the rain though, all openings are sealed with rubber. ie the button is rubber, the USB charge opening has a rubber stopper, and the battery opening has a rubber seal.

The manufacturer doesn't make any claims about the unit being waterproof, and I've never left mine out in the rain. The individual panels are covered with some sort of clear plastic material that looks like it would keep out water from the face, but the entire rest of the unit is made of a woven nylon fabric that doesn't look like it would keep out moisture at all. In fact it look like it might just sponge it up and hold it, exposing the wires that are inside connecting the four panels, as well as the 5v USB ports in inside the pouch to water. My guess is that letting it get wet (even in a light rain) would be a bad thing. I would not even recommend leaving it out over night where dew is a factor.

No definitely not - It is not sealed or waterproofed. It would be OK I think in a rain, but a swimming pool would be out of the question. Besides the moisture issues, chlorine (and salt too) are very corrosive to electronics.

It's water proof. But if you are going to use it for your phone you might want to spend more and get one of a better quality. For money, charge card, ID it's just fine. Wouldn't trust it for my phone though.

Yes. It is 100% waterproof. I was a little weary of that feature too, but I used it in the tub this weekend with no problems. The charging receptacle is covered by the purple silicone when it is not being charged.

No it is not - water or moisture would damage the camera as there is a micro USB connection port on the side. Almost all water-proof cameras will advertise a "water proof" feature if it is included.

I havent had a chance to use it when it has been raining or tried soaking it in water :-). But it looks to be waterproof or water resistant though.... If it has some issues i will post it up here on that...
