Does the top close tight enough to keep out rain, or is it just a fold over flap?

I bought this several months ago for a gift. I don't have it to look at now. As I recall, I wouldn't consider it a water-proof case.

If you are referring to the actual case that house the binoculars, the answer is yes. If you are referring to the eyepiece covers, also yes, with a caveat: I used the binoculars in moderate rain, as opposed to torrential.

It is water tight for rain for sure. I havn't had it through the winter yet.

Not Really. It will keep the rain off for a while but then it eventually leaks.

No its not like the other ones you probably looked at, no rain cover but it is pretty water proof, the material feels like felt almost but it's lined on the inside with something so your stuff should stay dry

I agree with Michael that the cover will keep water from seeping through but do all you can to see that it won't puddle up in the first place.

There is no cover on the fan itself so if the rain is blowing hard there is a possibility of rain getting coming through. Been using ours in some bad weather and have not had a big problem.

Yes, there is a top flap. Additionally, I found this feature to be a real plus.

It is pretty water tight. WE have had only one rain since I installed them a couple of months ago. The three wall panels click together and are secured by the roof and base. I don't have the hand strength I used to have and felt I did not press the walls together completely and did not hear a click sound. I did get them pressed together sufficiently for the roof and base to fit securely. I think the units are well made and Amazon's price with free shipping is good value. I recommend the units and would buy more.

A simple plastic tarp of any kind draped over the top would keep rain out. But the intent of this thing is to simply make it seem like you are as close to sleeping under the stars, without getting bitten by bugs, as possible. If you want a waterproof pup tent then buy one of those.

Yes to all. The top as a zipper, and it seems very watertight/proof in my usage so far, including durign some heavy rain. The leather temporarily absorbs some moisture on the outside (looking even more black) but dries very nicely. BTW I thoroughly conditioned the leather with Leathery Honey before using it - maybe that helped.

It is constructed of a hard plastic - so rain would not be problem except for the non-slip padding on the top. It would probably wear more quickly in the sun/rain, etc.. Unsure about stability in strong wind.

Good cover but open on bottom. It will keep light to moderate rain off and humidity to extent any cover would help. Open at bottom to prevent condensation. Real answer is likely no.

Yes, if you keep it zipped all the way it will keep out snow and rain. However, you will get condensation on the inside.

The top is mesh under the rain fly. The front is completely mesh with a rain proof zip cover. No Windows on remaining 3 sides. It kept me dry in a horrible thunderstorm one time but the air flow isn't the greatest with the rain fly on.

There is no top flap to protect in case of rain. This can be a problem, as I live in Portland Oregon. There is a velcro stay at the top of the bag that does close it up somewhat. This being said this has been the most practical wheelchair bag I have owned and I have been buying them for 17 years. There is no separate mesh pocket for a water bottle but the mesh pocket is plenty big enough for a water bottle.

It definitely keeps the rain out. I put a small board on it incase the wind might blow it off !

It has a rain cover that goes over the top. It isn't flat though it fits the top.
