I don't think even the Hotshot is actually waterproof - just water resistant, and only really weather resistant, as the charging socket would let water in if it was submerged.
Cygolite says "Weather proof for all riding conditions". I mean the USB socket does have a pretty nice rubber cover, which faces downward, so I don't see how much of anything could get in there when riding your bike normally, i.e. not submerged in water.
