don't get me wrong the palm glove is not water proof but it gave enough protection for me to rescue the palm. The little water that penetrated was easily mopped out with a tissue causing no harm. Now if it rains it gets transfered into a stuff sack which has taped seams, rolls up and has secure velcro fasteners and it is still in the Palm Glove. go here http://www.cix.co.uk/~freedom/palm/hardware.htm for a picture of the palm glove (scroll down the page).<br><br>Clive<br>
