I would like to know whether this bag is water-repellent?

I am sorry, I do not know cause I have returned it before it got delivered to my house.

The outside material seems to be waterproof except for the zippers. I sprayed it with water and water beads up on outside of the case but soaks into the zipper. BUT, theres a foam mesh side that would stay next to your body when carried that seems to soak it up. There's also 2 bars of plastic along the bottom that might raise it off the ground. I would consider this ok for camera protection if I was caught in a light rain running to shelter but for extended outdoor photo sessions in really wet weather I'd be hesitant what with the expense of photo equipment.

Its been okay in the rain, my gear hasn't gotten wet but I wouldn't throw it in the ocean or anything.

Yes the bag is water resistant. It would not stand up to being submerged or left in the rain over a period of time but it's fine for spills or light wetness.

Well I experienced my bag getting wet and my items didn't get wet although it's not water resistant but my items were safe

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.

The fabric is fairly water repellent but probably not fully waterproof. It's a nylon fabric, coated on the inside with something shiny. I bought it for using in a tiny town in Mexico and left it there, so I can't look at it now. The top of the fabric bag has a drawstring and it has a flap over that so I'm sure that unless you're in a monsoon, it'd keep at least most of the water out.

No, it's just cloth like the rest of the bag. The changing pad that comes with it is somewhat water resistant though.

Well Jack this bag is water proof. How ever I haven't fully tested that ability. For when I'm out day hicking and it rains I and my gear are under a rain poncho. Also just because a product say waterproof doesn't mean it stays that way forever.Take care of your gear and it will take care of you

The bottom of the bag is because it is made out of solid rubber, but the bag itself is not. It will repel some light precipitation for a while (light rain, fog, drizzle,etc), but a soaking rain shower would probably get into it. So if you are looking for a fully waterproof bag, this isn't it. But it gives you some protection.

I am not sure about this, but I think it isn´t water-resistant. Nonetheless it is a very good backpack! I love mine..

Although I have not had mine out in the rain, I would suspect that this bag would provide a good amount of protection. It has a quality zipper an nylon which repels water. Overall I wouldnt be afraid of having my tablet or laptop out in the elements with this bag however if it was pouring down I think I would trow in a big ziplock for added protection.

This bag is water proof. I used it on boating trips and all stayed dry inside

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.

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

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 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!

We have a different design but we find the bag is water repellant for drizzle and light to moderate rain but Not 100% waterproof.

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.
