Waterproof? How waterproof is this bag?

I can't say what it would do in a pouring rain, or if it were completely soaked. But, I have this bag on my bike, and it rained a few times when I was out for my 17 mile ride yesterday. The outside of the bag was wet, but the water beaded up, and was easily wiped off. The contents inside stayed dry.

I own this but as a backpacker if I want it to stay dry I use ziplock bags. They make them up to 10 gallon size.

The bags are water resistant, but not completely water proof. We have not had anything get wet in the bag as of yet.

No this backpack is not waterproof. Despite that it has proven to be quite durable in everyday use.

I would not say it is rainproof. Rain resistant is more like it: I have been out with this bag in sudden showers, and nothing inside has gotten wet. However, I don't think it would fare as well in a very rainy environment or during a more lengthy downpour. Great bag, though!

The bottom of the bag is because it is made out of solid rubber, but the bag itself is not. It will repel some light precipitation for a while (light rain, fog, drizzle,etc), but a soaking rain shower would probably get into it. So if you are looking for a fully waterproof bag, this isn't it. But it gives you some protection.

I think it is water resistant. It does stain easily but you can just use a wipe to clean it. I love the bag

No,it's not waterproof. I keep mine in a large zip lok bag when backpacking here in the Pacific North West. Get's pretty wet around here and this seems to work out. A small dry bag is also a good option. Hope this helps.

Please excuse me as I try to help you. This word is misused a lot at times. Can you go diving with it and keep items dry, most likely not. I have been caught in a few downpours of rain for extended amounts of time and my items inside were dry. So I would say the bag is water repellent to an extent. Waterproof meaning surrounded by water on every inch of the bag and not allowing water to penetrate, and I don't think it would pass that test. My bag kicks butt, I have abused, thrown, and almost wanted it to fall apart to justify trying something new out, but it won't give. Due to that I bought a smaller condor bag and molle gear.

Yes it's waterproof. It does fine in rain and such. You planning to scuba with it?

definitely not waterproof - I did find a dry bag that fits perfectly but haven't had an opportunity to work with it yet. with my health and age it's kind of like a hurricane bug out bag for me. hope this has been some help. good luck.

its not water proof, but you can carry a good reusable rain poncho and it can cover you and the bag aswell

Not water resistant, but very water protective thick heavy material. The stuff on top may get a little damp from water seeping in through zipper. The contents will most likely stay dry until bag gets wiped down.

i don't know if it's water "proof" but i would say that it is water resistant. It's a good heavy canvas bag.

The square bag is NOT removable...I don't think it is waterproof either, but it keeps enough water out that I haven't had an issue when it's in my staging area.

Haven't experienced the bag in the rain, but I would say it is likely waterproof. Very sturdy and stays clean.The rain cover is not the stiff leathery type.Hope this helps.

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

No. The bag isn't exactly water proof, but I'm sure there is something you can coat it with to make it so.
