While they aren't "waterproof" like Ortliebs, in that they can't be submerged, they are highly water resistant. Even a fairly hard soaking won't get anything wet, though I carry nylon covers for them just in case.

Here's more shots of the setup, and a write up of the short tour I tested them on
Great write up!
I have some cordura and may have to give this a whirl
