would documents inside stay dry if bag carried in a rainstorm?

According to the description of this case on Amazon, it appears to be water resistant. To me this seems to be similar to a water resistant coat or jacket that will keep you dry in a light rain but not a torrential downpour. I have an A7 16" laptop case which is constructed in a similar manner but which has a rubberized bottom. My Targus case is awesome. I feel confident you will be happy with yours, that it will protect your laptop or documents, but use a little caution in a torrential down pour. Hope this is helpfull.

Yes it looks like it would withstand the rain. Every thing looks to be sealed. Hope thid helps.

I've been in light rain and severe humidity. Many times, I've set it down on wet sand or dirt. I've never had my stuff on the inside get wet. I don't think it is built to be waterproof, so I wouldn't take it in extreme rain. But for anything less than a downpour, you'll be fine.

Yes, the material is waterproof in that the rain runs off the sides, and not through. However, that being said, unless you have a very tiny table, it would not be a very dry sit during a rain storm. Nor would you want to leave a book out under it. I know, that really doesn't answer your question.

The zippers were fine but it was not water resistant. The contents in my bag were soaked after being exposed to rain on my last vacation.

I have not had the bag in heavy rain or snow yet. It is not made out of plastic or material impervious to moisture but it's very well made and I'm guessing the heavy nylon it's made with would keep things dry inside.

My has never really got wet. I have been caught in the rain.... with no damage to the contents of my backpack. However the marerial does seem like it would be at minimum resistant. Hope that helps.

This item is not watertight, but will keep the rain out. I use several at my own home all the time, they are especially good for emergency kits, extremely sturdy. - The Organizing Place

The material of the bag is water resistant. I take mine out in the rain all the time. Never had a problem with my items getting wet. It's not waterproof. So if it ends up submerged in water your stuff will likely end up wet. But it can definitely withstand some heavy splashing. Just remember to keep the zipper closed!

In my personal experience of walking several city blocks in heavy rain, any papers -- including dollar bills -- in the small, outer zippered sections got totally soaked. However, my laptop and iPad, which I store in the main inner compartments, are adequately protected.

I have a polyester raincoat with a bonded PVC coating on the inside, with sealed seams - I assume like this. It was issued 50 years ago and it's still rain proof - not water resistant. If this back pack isn't rainproof (not submersible) - the designers ought to be taken out and drowned or at least water boarded

I would say water resistant. Inside of both panniers is a drawstring pouch which seals pretty tight to condense and potentially protect whats inside from the elements. I have been caught in a few showers which did not affect any belongings (including text books and a laptop) and the bag dried relatively quickly. However, I am sure that water would find a way in during a torrential downpour.

It would take a while until water penetrates into the case. Unless you stay under rain for say 20 minutes or not take the passport out of the case right after spill, I do not think there should be any problem.

it can resist rain to a certain extent, but cmon it has zippers so water can get in if you leave your bag in the rain for too long. But if I were youI wouldn't buy it because although it looks high quality, after months of usage the zippers and the fabric are exposed for their poor quality and aftera year the bag is torn all over from the straps to the zippers. It looks like a mess after 1 year. Trust me I bought mine and I used to loved it

I don't know. I never had it exposed to the rain. I really like the bag, however, and it seems to be well made.

This bag is water proof. I used it on boating trips and all stayed dry inside

The material is similar to backpacks and briefcases. I would guess it's water resistant, but not waterproof.
