Is this backpack water proof from the exterior to the interior? I go kayaking and need something that will stay dry.

The top part has mesh, so it will not stay dry. The bottom cooler part will not be exposed to outside water. I go kayaking with it all the time my solution was to buy waterproof pouches for dry items. For the money and portability it's a great buy.

I have not had the occasion to have it fully emerged but I was on a real heavy downpour and my stuff was dry inside. Hope this helped. Happy shopping

I have never gone Kayaking with it, but it performed well with limited water exposure (i.e. rain storm).

It built with an aluminum housing, so it is waterproof. Actually you'd better use it indoor I suggest , that can have a long life.

Its about as water resistant as you can expect from a good backpack. Mine gets hit by small spray when travelling from the bank to the ship via a small craft. Has moderate water on it, no serious water amount, and my contents are still fine and dry. Hope it helps.

It is water proof to a degree. If you submerge the pack, contents will get wet unless they're in sealed water proof bags which are available through out door and hiking stores.

The inside stays dry and I suppose you could leave the bottom zipper and the side zipper open a little but depending on how hard the wind blows it may get wet with them open.

I'd say it's water resistant, but not waterproof. That is why they include an orange rain cover, which is tucked under the bag. Overall, I'm happy with this backpack.

While it is my go to case during times of wet weather and when traveling, I would rate the case as water repellant NOT waterproof. The zipper mechanism is well shielded both inside and out, however if drenched or submerged I believe water water could find its way inside.

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.

Not even close. I've been caught in a few downpours to only have my contents soaked on the inside. I have to make sure the zippers are off to the side to make sure the water doesn't get in that way.

Water-proof? No. Water-resistant? Probably. I've had this backpack for approx. 2 months, and have had zero issues commuting to work in the rain without an umbrella. My laptop/notebooks have always stayed dry in light to moderate rain, although I haven't tested it in heavy rain for long distances...and I don't plan on taking the risk, unless absolutely necessary.

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

Yes, actually it is very water proof. I took it camping and it rained while we were away from the tent. We came back to a small stream running underneath the tent and nothing inside was wet. Very pleased with it.

I don't think its submergible water proof but I sweat in mine when I do yard work and I have had it on while walking in the rain to the store ,I would suggest that you keep it as dry as possible though because with electronics you never know!

I don't believe its waterproof....maybe a bit water resistant and it has side zipper pouches that can hold a few water bottles.

I've been in light rain and severe humidity. Many times, I've set it down on wet sand or dirt. I've never had my stuff on the inside get wet. I don't think it is built to be waterproof, so I wouldn't take it in extreme rain. But for anything less than a downpour, you'll be fine.

The material of the bag is water resistant. I take mine out in the rain all the time. Never had a problem with my items getting wet. It's not waterproof. So if it ends up submerged in water your stuff will likely end up wet. But it can definitely withstand some heavy splashing. Just remember to keep the zipper closed!

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.
