one way to find out is to scotch guard a speaker and play some music out of it. if you hear a difference you will most likely here a difference in your recording.  

then again if a condem over a microphone has a supposed little effect than i think scotchguard would be probably be fine as well. however i still have a tough time believing the condem solution.....

imo, its just not a good idea to risk the mics.
sure, they are replacable...what what are you recording that is worth risking your german condensers?

the humidity *definately* affects the performance of the mic capsules.  Especialy on higher end mics and LD's.
my soundfield used to go freakin' heywire if I used it on a very humid day outside. 

i've got insurance on my mics that covers weather too. 

I talked to my insurance agent a few weeks ago and he said i couldn't insure my gear.  What type of plan/coverage do you have.  shoot me a pm

There's a waterproof soak for fleece clothing, there's Nikwax water-based softshell proof, mess of stuff out there in the outdoor stores.
I'd still have a hard time watching a good set of mics get wet.

The bodies should be sealed at the seams with clear RTV silicone sealant as well.
A roofer once told me "water has a way" meaning that it will get into anything it possibly can.
It drips in, capillaries up, soaks in, accumulates just from condensation, it has a mind of it's own.
