Craig is right, these are not very water resistant at all. I've taken apart a few of them (various models) and it looks as if no consideration for water resistance was given in the design.
Also, the models with rubber-covered switches tend to have the rubber cover come off with very little effort. At least one model even comes with a REPLACEMENT switch cover under the spring in the tail cap!! Gee, instead of a spare, how about a better design?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
BTW Craig, your site is great. Very informative, and I have agreed with just about all of your reviews. Keep up the good work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif
