I purchased a pair of these from Edinburgh Bikes sale as they were down to just over £80 for the pair.

"waterproof dryline construction"

Does this mean they are waterproof or splash proof?

At that price and from the description I'd expect them to be fully waterproof. You bought them - have you any reason to think they are not fully waterproof?

Fill them with water, if they leak they're not waterproof.
