Is that back laptop part weather proof like the cover flap?

Yes, the entire case is water resisted, there is a zipper so some water may get in under very hard rain but so far so good. GREAT BAG

It has a cloth zipper then below that is a thick welt of nylon and padding which appears to function as a baffle. None of the materials that make up this rearmost section appear to have the heavy rubberized layer that the main top flap. In my opinion, it is constructed well enough and if carrying like it is supposed to be then my laptop is safe from all but the heaviest, prolonged downpour. I Suspect the next level would have to be a hard case like those made by Pelican (military-grade.)

Great question. I doubt that it is since it does not have the rubberized membrane layer like the interior cover flap. However, unless you are walking through a heavy downpour for minutes on-end, I wouldn't worry about it. The out layer of the bag is very durable and weather resistant.

I haven't tested whether any of the fabric is waterproof. The laptop compartment is made of the same outer material as the rest of the bag - if that helps.

I don't think so. Use the model number from the back of your laptop to search a cover.

No.. did you take all of the protective covers off of the unit (including under the flap)?? Mine hasn't had any issues & does its job very well.

The Swiss army backpack has the room for your laptop. I like the distribution of the compartments. But it is not rain proof. If it rains, water can get through. So , just be careful

No. Its not weather resistant. Plus its so quiet its not worth the purchase..

No, unfortunately. It's a cover more than a carry case. It's the size of the laptop with no extra room.

No. The only padding is on the back of the backpack when it rests on your back. If you dropped it, your laptop could possibly be damaged.

Well as long as you dont take it swimming with you, it can take heavy rain or a full glass of water or any other liguid spilling on it. Both these thing have happened to me. Nothing gets inside cuz ur laptop is safe being a double protected seam. Have a look at some of the you tube videos about this product. Shud throw some more light on it.

I don't think it is water proof. Back cover isn't sealed. If you need to use it outside in the rain, put it in a zip lock bag.

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

Yes. But if you are putting it where it will be directly rained or snowed on, I would use some silicone sealant/caulking between the two halves of the housing to protect the electronics.

I wouldn't leave it out in the rain. It won't do you any good any way. Hard to say about laptop. Depends on the laptop.

The cover is a canvas type material and there is a water resistant coating on it. Last rainstorm that came through it held up pretty good.

This is a single flap door. When it is really windy or rainy, I tend to put the cover on it.

Is this water-proof? I mean, can I walk in the rain with it without fearing that my laptop and my books are going to get wet?

I would say that it is at least water-resistant. I used to wait for public transit and run around campus in the rain and snow and never had a problem. The laptop pocket is the one right against your back, so not only is there cushioning, but it is probably the pocket that is the least exposed to the elements. There also is a drink pocket on the outside of the pack; as the inside is made of different material, I would make sure to keep any liquid there so that nothing seeps in onto your computer. I think that the thick (but not overly so) layer of foam right there would be a good protection, but I wouldn't risk it. I would say that it is at least water-resistant.

That pack is not fully water proof, but for short walks in the rain it should be able to keep your laptop dry. If you want a pack that is totally waterproof look into Swiss Gear model TG14HS or brands like: Orca, The North Face, and OverBoard.
