The Yakima DeepSpace 10 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y65RR is weather resistant but not waterproof.

Weather resistant means it does a great job at keeping the elements out and is essentially a standard among cargo boxes. Waterproof means the product can be completely submerged and the inside doesn't get wet - I have yet to find a cargo carrier with this impressive rating.

The weather resistant label can be a little confusing at times since it's a bit of a broad term. Some of the lower end cargo boxes are a little more prone to the elements getting in while higher end boxes, like the DeeopSpace10, do an amazing job at keeping the cargo inside protected against the elements.

Hope this helps give more clarity to what you're looking at!
