Is this backpack waterproof, or at least can withstand some water splashes in drizzle?

I have not used this backpack in the rain. But judging from the feel of the material I would say that it is not waterproof. It might be slightly water resistant.

Its not water proof but it can handle a little bit of water just like many other backpacks.

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.

To be honest, I haven't tested it in the rain. I would hazard a guess and say that it will not be very waterproof. Certainly in the case of the upper compartment. Perhaps the inner area might remain dry in a light drizzle but in a downpour I would think not. As far as I can tell there is no rubber coating on the inner lining and thus in my opinion, this may not provide the protection that you need. I will be using plastic bags to protect my electronics. Having said that, I really like this bag. Hope that this helps.

It is not water-proof. I sheds water fairly well though. In my experience, unless you fork out the money for a true dry-bag, backpacks are never waterproof after about 30 minutes in the rain.

No this backpack is not waterproof or resistant...I'd recommend keeping a poncho handy inside the bag...

I don't think so. I have only been seriously rained on once since having it and I keep a cover handy to cover my pack for those occasions ... pretty sure not waterproof but I can tell you it is an excellent pack and the frame is very sturdy. I use it for hiking camping so external frame is great. Have had it out on a least 8 trips now. Hope that helps.

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.

It isn't 100% water proof, it Does good in heavy rain. Water doesn't get inside the case unless you directly pour a bunch of water above the plastic bar going across top of the screen.

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...

I would say water repellant. I don't know that it will withstand pounding rain but a little drizzle I think it would be fine.

I often take this backpack unguarded through the rain. Nothing inside has gotten wet so far.

No, My computer and papers got wet in the rain although I carried it on my back during the rain because I was concerned about taking it through puddles. I'm not sure how it does with puddles, but it is just like any other back pack in the rain. If it soaks your clothes, it will soak your pack and everything in it. I used it for about 6 weeks until the wheels fell off (I had two different backpacks for about 3 weeks each, so its a design flaw, not a defect). It is spacious so you could just put your things in garbage bags to keep them dry

As to raining on it or splashing on it, yes it is waterproof. As to submerging it under water, no, because it would leak at the zipper. It's not SEALED.

It's splash resistant, not waterproof. For that you'll want a life proof case.

Very - I haven't used it in a rainstorm but my boys and I have spent several scout backpacking trips with it in drizzle, light rain and heavy dew without getting wet.

I would classify this bag as moderately water resistent. It will stand up to a brief rain shower 15 min or so. It is far from being waterproof.Steve

The backpack is water resistant, and has a rain cover that can be put over the back if needed.

It can take splashes of water but not a soaking. Avoid leaving it out in the rain!
