What is the weatherproof rating of this video recorder? It advertises as being usable on goggles and helmets but doesn't mention anything how waterproofness, shock resistance, etc. Any info is greatly appreciated.

It is Water resistant, i.e. - enough to keep moisture out when skiing or snowboarding and light rain but not submersible... My friend has the 720P Version of this camera and it has made it through a few Mud Holes and rain storms on ATV.... I am ordering the 1080P version to replace my old helmet camera... It video is Quality!!! But you should prob have a newer machine to view and edit...

Waterproof cases for the ContourHD and ContourHD 1080p are on the way - they're perfect for taking the ContourHD out wakeboarding, kayaking, all that good stuff. They will be available in about 10 days.

I would be getting a waterproof case, just to make sure. Check the accessories.

He means the IP rating for the level of waterproofness, etc. I looked up the manufacturer's site and it is pretty poor on tech specs. Even the manual (http://vholdr.com/support/files/Contourhd_Usermanual.pdf) doesn't provide much. I suggest emailing the manufacturer at the support page: http://www.vholdr.com/support/contact

Straight from the description... "The CountourHD 1080p is water, impact, and vibration resistant so you don’t have to worry more about the camera on your head than the line in front of you. "
