How water resistant is it for a place like Iguassu falls? Very wet environments?

I would say, the material seems to be pretty water resistant, we just haven't used it when it that wet)) There is a zipper under the bag cover, that makes it more secure. We really like it: comfortable, lots of room, inside pockets, flexible inside pads position. It is a good choice for a good price. I don't think it will get wet in wet environments, unless you take it under the fall with you))It did great when we were at Yosemite Falls.

One other thought, Ron -- the top of the pack lips over the zipper and completely covers it, then latches, as I mentioned below. In my opinion, covering the zipper with this part of the pack would make it even more water resistant.

Ron W., I've only had it a short time but will share my thoughts - it is made of the same stuff of good backpacks or thermal lunch kits -- plus, it has zippers for every opening plus a latch/lock for the main opening (up top). I would feel comfortable taking it with me as long as I had it zipped and closed between shoots. I'm not an expert, though -- if you have any doubts, I would suggest you contact the seller on Ebay for more information. Hope this helps!

Hi Francisco. I can't answer for sure, because I haven't had it out in weather yet, but I would say no, since no packs, with the exception of those designed for snorkeling, etc., are "waterproof". There is a coating inside, and I assume that it helps make the pack water resistant, but a good rain would definitely soak it, as it would most packs.If you need waterproof, carry a garbage bag, or pack cover, like most backpackers do. Obviously, this pack wasn't designed to withstand continuous exposure to extreme conditions.

I use it for playing disc golf in heavy rain. It's a real waterproof rain suit, not a lightweight water resistant type suit.

I would say water resistant, had some pretty heavy rains and table underneath hasn't gotten wet

Resistant, absolutely. I've spent many rides in the rain with this decide. I would not recommend submerging it in water for any reason, however. It is not waterproof.

I would say water resistant. I mean if your protecting from a monsoon rainstorm nothing is going to be waterproof.

I wouldn't call it "water resistant" - I'm sure a light mist might not hurt it but I wouldn't expose it to repeated water or extreme sun.

I have used it in a driving rainstorm for more than 6 hours with no issue so I would have to say yes it is water resistant

It has a water rating of 5 ATM, which is equivalent to what we called 50 meter water resistance a decade or two ago. So while I wouldn't take this scuba diving or wakeboarding, it will be just fine in the rain.

It is water resistant, in that as it is made of heavy nylon, it will shed water, but it will not keep items dry if submeged in water

I can't help you with this. my camera has always been & will be used only under dry conditions. Nothing in the Specs says that this model is waterproof. dust sealing against its sensor might be an official feature that is YET to be tested. you might want a leather half case to give it more grip. Presumingly, it is not sealed against waterfalls. Good luck

Slightly resistant (as in light mist) but NOT waterproof. Don't try immersing it. Don't hang it out in the rain. The case is reasonably sturdy but it's still just plastic. It's mostly intended for use indoors, in a tent, under a shelter, etc. It's a very good product. Just don't get it wet.

Yes its waterproof... the issue though is you will sweat in it. If your going to Africa, try a lightweight hammock with a tarp for element protection. I would not recommend this for hot weather if you want to be fully enclosed. It does not have "bathtub" flooring that goes up the sides, so if your site gets flooded, I am not sure how this will hold up. Again, in the jungles and hot areas, I would strongly suggest you invest in getting OFF the ground completely, then with paracord and a tarp create a weather barrier.

Water resistant . But if it were to be submerged for more than a second, it would take on water.

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.

I have only used mine in dryer climates, but it is a sturdy canvas. I would not expect it to prevent water from seeping through in a heavy downpour, but in misty or slightly rainy weather, it should be fine. I'm sure there are products out there to make it even more water resistant if you are often in inclement weather.

No, it is water resistant, not water proof. It can handle rain and sweat but not being submerged
