are the bags water proof?

They a heavy duty canvas, so they are very heavyduty water resistant. I would not say water proof though.

No. They're made of canvas, with no lining of any sort. If you got caught in a light rain, your contents would probably be fine. But if you were riding long distance, in heavy rain, then... stuff's gonna' get wet.

no it is not water proof it has little holes all around but that allows the bag to breath.

We are in the marine industry building barges and Tug boat and they are exposed to moisture a lot and occasionally get slightly submerged in water (appears to be water resistant), but I don't know if they are water proof... Suggest checking with Manufacturer

I would say water resistant, not water proof. The Ortlieb bags are actually water proof like a riverbag. The mini panniers would hang down into side baskets, but are much smaller than baskets.

They may be a tiny bit water resistant but they're not totally waterproof. They are pretty cheaply made to be honest. They reason I bought it was because I was backpacking across Europe and I liked the idea of being able to fit another bag in my one bag I brought just in case I needed it. It was ripped after only a couple times using it. I think there is something better out there for sure.

It's not water resistant, but you can rest it on damp ground without worrying that your contents will get wet. However, if there is actual standing water, the water will soak through the bag bottom.

They are water proof, one of the tubes shattered but they still worked without it even with a little rain

They're definitely water resistant. We've been in a few light rains and drizzles with them. I can't say how long they might keep the water out in a downpour.

Not unless it's sealed in plastic....BUT, it is very water resistant with DuPont Teflon or some other water RESISTANT coating making it an ideal bag for most conditions other than being under water or sprayed directly with a hose.They make great bags and tried a knock off...I finally got my 2 different bags about a month ago and couldn't be happier.They've already been to Jamaica!

They are not waterproof but they are thick. We haven't had any issues with things leaking through.

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

No, I don't think so. If you want water proof, you need to have the bag you put this in be waterproof.

i don't know if it's water "proof" but i would say that it is water resistant. It's a good heavy canvas bag.

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.

not sure...they don't seal completely. Just a drawstring top. The bag material is probably fine enough.

This bag is not rated as being water proof. Carry a 13gal. trash bag with you for full bag protection. Steve.
