Does this bag have the WATERPROOF front over flap?--It's a game changer for me, if not.

The flap certainly beads the water and appears to be waterproof. Living on the tundra of Minnesota, I haven't experienced unfrozen precipitation to truly test the waterproof quality. On a more definative note, this bag is exceptional for my law school needs. Happy shopping!

It dose, the entire bag is waterproof. It's a good product, exceed my expectations.

the flap that covers the main compartment is water proof (same material as the rest of the bag) I like the bag but prefer the closure clips to be metal (like the older models) not the current plastic.

The square bag is NOT removable...I don't think it is waterproof either, but it keeps enough water out that I haven't had an issue when it's in my staging area.

Yes it does, and that's why I bought it! (I previously had a skip hop tote that didn't zip on the top, but I don't like that since my wallet is in there, so I only used that one for a couple of weeks til I found this one!) I love this bag, it feels stylish, plus it has LOTS of compartments. Also it is not as heavy as most of the other bags this size.

Yes. I just took a picture to make sure and it looks great. I do have other waterproof bags that are not as see through as this one and it did not work through that bag. Thanks for asking, now I know which bag to hold the camera in. Peace

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.

One other thought, Ron -- the top of the pack lips over the zipper and completely covers it, then latches, as I mentioned below. In my opinion, covering the zipper with this part of the pack would make it even more water resistant.

No, but I picked up a water proof cover for $10 at a local discount store. It fits fine.

If I walk in the rain with the bag for a while, it is not a problem at all. But if you soak it in water, I am sure it will leak somewhere. I am very happy with the bag, good quality.

Yes it does, I promise you won't be disappointed with it. The bag is heavily padded for protection.

Hi Akian, no zipper on the front flap. Just open the main flap and everything is exposed. There is a small pocket inside the main compartment with a zipper to carry small stuff

It has a pocket on the bottom back of the bag in the pocket is a rain coat for the bag it is made to cover the bag completely its built in so the bag itself isn't waterproof but it comes with a waterproof cover

I would not consider this bag waterproof in any way..the divider has a "plastic" coating on the outside but is very on the top, the rest of the liner has a soft plushlike finish. I have never gotten this wet so have no idea of the outside. However I love the bag..while traveling in Europe last year I used the outside pocket for items that would normally be in my handbag (wallet in pants pocket)..it is very roomy... I have put my ipad between the liner and the back of the bag.. I carry one extra lens, mini tripod, extra battery...and whatever else gets shoved in...

There isn't a top flap on the bag I own but there is a velcroe closure that keeps the bag closed securely. The mesh pocket is a very nice size and can easily accommodate several water bottles.

I have never used the rain cover, but I think it's only made to go over this specific bag.

It is well-constructed and partially water resistant. During a torrential downpour in ATX, I was able to walk from my car the 50+ ft. to my apartment in the downpour with only a few wet papers and no damaged electronics (iPad and laptop were in the designated electronics compartment). A few papers were wet in the center pocket, but I tend to carry a lot between home and school in my bag as I am a teacher. My hands were full as well, and my dinner was safely in the backpack as well. Now, my clothes were soaked, and water was running down my hair, but the bag wasn't too soaked. I have now had this bag for nearly a school year, and nothing has broken with nearly daily usage (I teach at a private center during the summer and used the bag all summer, too). Each class period I have to pack it up as I am a traveling teacher (teach between different classrooms) both for my full-time and part-time jobs.

It does have a rubber flap but it doesn't seal it totally to protect it from 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.
