Granite Gear now makes a really cool compression bag that is also waterproof. It's called "Granite Gear AirVent DryBloc Solid".

They seem to be pretty resistant to avoid a splash or something, but not waterproof

I don't know of any compression sack that is "waterproof". Although they could take a splash or two without stuff inside getting wet. You are thinking of is a "dry bag". Use these sacks to crush your stuff down small, then put them in a dry bag to keep it all water proof. You really only need a dry bag if you think your gear might be submerged. Most backpacks are water resistant, and these sacks have a bit of water resistance too. Rain should be no problem. But if you are still worried about rain a simple lawn and garden bag will keep stuff dry. Put it in the pack, load your gear, roll the top of the bag down and close the pack. You will be good for that unexpected dip in the creek! lol Hope this helps.

No, they are water resistant. THey could handle a misting of sorts or the dampness from being in your backpack that has a pack cover, but not in direct rain or falling in water.

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

I would think not. There is nothing to make them waterproof. Water resistant - probably yes, but not for long exposures.

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 don't know about water proof. By they can withstand being outdoors. I've got mine in the front of my boat on the railing. They get splashed on lightly and rained on. They work and sound pretty good

Doubt they are waterproof. Plus, they don't work anyway. We bought ours for skiing and returned them nearly immediately. They don't work well.

Yes they are water proof, I put a pair of on the front of a boat NO problems at all

Water resistant maybe? I have been caught in the rain with them and they still work but as far as "Proof" goes I cant say.

Have had them outdoors, rain and shine, so yes, they are water resistant. The area where I use them are on the steps leading to the front entrance of our home and it is not covered area, so they get rained on and are exposed to water run-off.

They are not waterproof but the dry very quickly and are very light. I bought four pairs for a recent Europe trip and they worked great. If necessary, you can hand wash them and they will dry in a hour or so in your hotel room.

No, they are not waterproof. I was able to clean off mistakes and smudges with a wet cloth or q-tip.

Since they don't say anything about being waterproof, I would assume no. But I'm not sure.

As far as I know they are waterproof. Mine are outside in the weather and I never take them down or turn them off. So far so good!

As far as wet hair and occasional drooling go, yes they are waterproof. However, I haven't tried them in the pool yet.

Not completely waterproof, but they are definitely water resistant. If you seal the seams with a thin line of clear caulking it may help even more with the proofing.

They are totally waterproof, and I have used them both ways. Hope this helps.

No, they are just like regular address labels. I have never tried to see if they are waterproof, but they are the same material as a normal address label.
