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.

Rach, It seems to be water resistant but not water proof. It began to rain on one of my hikes and everything was dry...it was a light rain, though so I'm not sure how much it could take. Sorry I couldn't be more help - it IS a great little bag, though!

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

Coming back from our vacation we hit a rain storm in Indiana. It was bad enough that visibility was low and most people pulled over to the shoulder. We continued on, as we had already been in the car far too long. The bag is definitely waterproof. I put a padlock on the zipper, it is pretty solid, and that prevented the bag from being opened while we were away from it. I wouldn't suggest leaving the bag on the roof overnight, outside, as someone could cut the straps if they really wanted to take it.

The outer bag is permanenently attached. It is water resistant. There is a waterproof pocket in the main bag.

I would not say it is rainproof. Rain resistant is more like it: I have been out with this bag in sudden showers, and nothing inside has gotten wet. However, I don't think it would fare as well in a very rainy environment or during a more lengthy downpour. Great bag, though!

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

This bag, like many others, is not waterproof. However, I just sprayed a water proof sealant on it and it has kept my stuff dry in a downpour. If you want even more protection you could buy a rain cover for it. See my review for more information.

Please excuse me as I try to help you. This word is misused a lot at times. Can you go diving with it and keep items dry, most likely not. I have been caught in a few downpours of rain for extended amounts of time and my items inside were dry. So I would say the bag is water repellent to an extent. Waterproof meaning surrounded by water on every inch of the bag and not allowing water to penetrate, and I don't think it would pass that test. My bag kicks butt, I have abused, thrown, and almost wanted it to fall apart to justify trying something new out, but it won't give. Due to that I bought a smaller condor bag and molle gear.

Don't know if it is waterproof or not, I use it as a travel bag in my suitcase. I am assuming because of the zipper, once that is wet it would probably leak.

It is weather/waterproof. It is a very nice travel bag, but on the big and heavy side. I highly recommend it, but buyer beware, the airline tried to charge me excess weight because all together with the car seat it weighs more tha 50 lbs.

I would say it is water resistant, but certainly not waterproof. It is zippered on three sides, and certainly water could enter on those sides. In a mist or light rain you'd probably be okay with the non-zippered side pointing up, but I'd still carry it in waterproof bag.

It is not waterproof. I was in a downpour without a cover once. It held out for a bit but started getting wet inside. Buy a cover. Other than that the bag has held up for a couple of years and is holding up great.

I just tested it by pouring a little bit water on it from my kitchen sink. The water flowed across it. Nevertheless, I don't consider this bag waterproof. If water spills on it accidentally, and u wipe it off quick, your laptop will be safe... I think there's vulnerability around the zipper. But I gotta say this: "It is a solid bag". I love mine
