How waterproof is the bag?

It is water resistant not waterproof....i would definitely recommend getting a rain-cover for it.

No. I learned that one unintentionally. The regular size Kelty rain cover fits this bag.

This like the majority of others isn't made to be waterproof, the intent is weight savings. They have a rain cover available for that purpose.

I haven't tested whether any of the fabric is waterproof. The laptop compartment is made of the same outer material as the rest of the bag - if that helps.

Its not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. As long as everything's fully zipped up it can last through light rain.

The outside is canvas so it is water repellent to a point. The inside liner is nylon on the outside and a soft clothe on the inside. Throwing it in a lake or being stuck outside more than 10 minutes in a down pour could allow water in. I never trust anything that says water proof so I always bring individual plastic bags for camera, lens etc. if there is any chance of moisture. It also helps to bring a small soft towel. Have not been in any rain or water rides with this.Still, for the price it is an awesome bag.

It is not totally waterproof. Depending what you are putting into it, I would make sure to place items in plastic bags as well. I love mine, and am considering ordering another. Joan

I have not gotten it wet but the battery is in the center of the bag so it would have to get totally soaked to reach it! I wouldn't say it's waterproof. More a work bag then a backpacking bag.

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.

I have had the bag for close to two years and still love it. However, I don't think the bottom is waterproof. It's a heavy woven material for most of the bottom. There are at least two or three layers of material for it to soak through though. Maybe you could use a waterproofing spray?

The bag is sowed on and the bag isn't waterproof but from my experience it stays fairly dry inside I keep my log book in there and it stays dry

No, not waterproof, but t you would be hard pressed to find a bag similar to this that is waterproof. The 600-Denier Poly/Canvas does a good job at holding out any water.

I would not consider it waterproof but definitely water resistant. It is made of quality nylon material that will prevent your stuff from getting wet in a rain. It is also well padded which helps with the water resistant qualities. Just try not to submerge the bag.

This bag is not water proof, but I believe they do sell a water proof bag to go over it.

Thank you for your question. I don't think they do because they claim the item is water-proof. Are you having issues with water leaking in the bag? - Ellen ellen@jafrum.com

I believe it is water resistant. To be waterproof the material would need to be a plastic/vinyl material. It is a very good water resistant bag as the zippers are enclosed under a flap.

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

It is not waterproof. I do love the bag though, simple and very large. Tons of space in it. If you're willing to use a water repellant spray or something similar I would highly recommend the bag itself. Thanks.

No, not if the bag is closed. The whole point is for it to be waterproof, if you have head phones hanging it out water could enter.
