Is this sleeve water resistant?

No. It's cloth but I've carried it in the rain before and it hasn't gotten soaked through or anything.

Yes, water resistant. It has a vinyl type bottom and also the zippers have a small fabric flap on the inside. Works very well in most any environment, no problems and I'd recommend it. I didn't see any need to spray this bag with Scotch Guard Water Repellent as I have done with some others.

I would call it water resistant...not water proof. It will only hold water out from entering case but only for short period of time in swallow depths of water

Hi Eric, It is water resistant. However, it should not to be immersed or come into continuous contact with water. -Anthony

Yes. Silicone sleeve is pretty snug and doesn't come off easily which is great! I always just hand wash and never put it in the dishwasher as I fear that may ruin the sleeve.

No it is water resistant. But mine never stopped working and I was out in a thunderstorm for 4 hours wearing it. It's about as close to waterproof that you can get.

When you wash/rinse you can get in the corners, the sleeve has some give to it. I only put water in my bottles so I've not had to worry about other liquids getting trapped underneath the sleeve. I've never taken the cover off, it could get worn out but as I stated earlier it is loose enough to clean between the bottle and the sleeve, if need be

I don't think it is water resistant but protects my laptop well without letting any water inside.

I read on the website that it is just water resistant. They suggest that you take it off for swimming.

We found it is water resistant for swimming, but not very sweat resistant. Areas where he sweated heavily (middle of chest, around underarms) did get a little bit sunburned on my partner, but we both swam in the ocean and this did not affect the performance of the product at all.

I would say water resistant but not water proof. I always use a towel on the bottom just in case

It doesn't specifically say but through experience it is very water resistant. The only concern is that it does have a headphone slot at the top. It has a triple fold and I haven't experienced any leaks but you should be aware.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.

Robin, I love the SFBags / waterfield sleeve. It is really very nicely made and it looks cool. I got one that was slightly too large, but they are aggressive in making sure that you are totally satisfied, and they sent another snugger-fitting sleeve right away (without me even asking). Cool company! I highly recommend them to everyone.http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm

Hell no! lol! that's the only problem I had with it. I got water damage one time before trying to figure out how to use my neck strap with it. I would suggest that you get the one with the 2 sleeves, its more comfortable and not awkward.

I don't think it would offer "waterproof" protection if you dropped it in the river.... but as for keeping the rain off and normal weather I think it does very well. Again, I have not tested this, but I assume water would make it through the zipper if you were scuba diving or walking in a torrential rain storm, but I have carried mine, tucked under my arm in all sorts of wet weather and never had an issue.

I wouldn't trust it as being of much protection from drops. I'm actually going to get one of those sleeves to use for when I travel.
