Is this water proof? Will it leak-in water, snow, etc?

Yes the liner is waterproof but the flap doesn't quite cover all the opening as it tends to ruck out on the sides. That being said I've never had a problem with water getting in when I wear it in the rain and all other aspects of the bag are great.

The fabric is waterproof. But the flap does not prevent water and snow from coming in, This is very very disappointing to me. What good is waterproof if there are huge gaps that render my cellphone vulnerable to water. Vey disappointed, would also help lots to have outside pocket and deeper pockets in general.

The interior is lined to prevent water getting in. When I first made my purchase I was worried about the opening being to free but since I've had it I've had no problems with water getting in.

Yep its completely waterproof. I dont know about snow because it doesn't snow here, but chucked it down with rain the first day I used and everything was fine :-) totally recommend this bag.

Yes, it closes solidly. Now if you have snow pack up against it, there may be some water leakage around the edges.

I'm not sure if you can take in water with you my son did drop it in snow and nothing happen and also I got it wet when doing dishes and nothing happened. But that is all I can tell you about it as far as water goes. I hope you get the right case for you I do love mine.

It is sturdy and well-made. I have not had mine through a winter, but I don't think I would leave it outside with water in it - - anything might crack if it freezes where you live.

I have used it camping this year set up on snow and it did fine. No leaks, I do recommend Using a pad or something under your sleeping gear to provide insulation i have also camped in some pretty strong wind and again it did fine. I'm very pleased with my tent. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't leak the mat has like pool noodles sewn in all 4 sides so the water stays on mat if there is just a little water I usually just let it dry but last year we had a few heavy snow so the large amounts of water my wife and I just grabbed a corner of the mat and drug it out of garage about halfway and then lifted the back to let water run out it was very easy way better then before the mat I was out soaking up water with towels lol

It has gaskets that seal the unit, but I can't say it's water proof. It's probably water resistant so that if you dropped it into a bucket of water, there would be no harm. As a diver, I don't think I'd take this under water.

Yes it really is waterproof. As to holding up to Iowa winters I can't say. My cart is in southern California so I have to drive up into the nearby mountains just to see snow in the winter time.

It is pretty waterproof. The lid has closes down over the sides so you won't get rain in that way, BUT if the lid isn't closed down correctly - as in you just let it drop - then it can let rain in it. It's a pretty flimsy box, if you put it on an uneven surface, the box will twist out of square, and you'll have to work to seat the lid correctly when you close it. That's what I think has caused some of the other reviewers to claim it isn't waterproof. Also when you open it water that puddles on lid will drip into the box, so not good for winter storage where there will be lot of ice and snow sitting on the lid. It is pretty waterproof.

I would suggest you check with the manufacturer to be 100% sure. My disclaimer answer would be "NO", its not intended for outdoor use. But if you are using it in a dry setting where there is absolutely no water, liquids, snow near or touching it, I don't see why it would be a problem.

I just bought it this winter. It has been out in the sleet and snow for just very short times, going from car to teachers studio. I have had no leakage under these circumstances. In the spring I plan on spraying it will a water repellent, just in case.

Its not waterproof. If your outdoors is dry then sure why not. If your outdoors is cold/freezing temperatures I don't think this is meant to be used in those temps

Yes indeed. I have had mine outside in rain and snow for the past year or more. Just make sure it is snapped closed!

Daniel, I haven't used it in snowy conditions, yet, mostly for backyard, weekend camping and mostly fair conditions, which is the intent of this one I believe. It has been used under a well staked tarp that reached the ground in a downpour once and used a spray weather proofer to protect better the seals and side fabric, there were no leaks. However, I have noticed a few of the seams near the stake strap have pulled apart slightly under strain of use. If you have to depend on the tent for long term shelter, spend a little more and buy a stronger made tent, made for strong weather.

It is leak proof. Even by leaving it unlocked it won't leak. I still lock out every time I throw it inside my bagpack, just in case!

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I mostly bought it for snow protection and haven't wanted to try dropping it in water.
