Just through the gaps on the front flaps I think, otherwise pretty waterproof.&nbsp\\; Mine have speakers inside so I hope they don't get too wet!

Mine have stayed dry, I've ridden in a few heavy rains. I wouldn't trust&nbsp\\;them with anything real important.

&nbsp\\;
You can get a set of locking doors for $100 and have a local locksmith&nbsp\\;the keys to match to your Harley key.

My stuff has gotten wet when riding in an all-day rain.&nbsp\\; So maybe they're water resistant, not water proof.

&nbsp\\;They are plastic, held closed with a couple snaps..........
they are not water proof. Mine have gotten a little moist.
&nbsp\\; All I carry in them are a brake disc lock and a jiffy stand 'pad'.
