Is this bag waterproof or water resistant?

It appears to be at least water resistant. I have used it several times, once on a 7 week international trip. I have seen no signs of "leakage' and it sometimes sits on a wet sink. Side and inner zipper pockets are very handy for small items such as floss threaders and small earrings for my pierced ear.

I would say it is water resistant. I do not think I would put it in a shower stall with me.

I've used this bag every day for a few months now and it has been pretty water resistant. I can walk in the rain and not worry about the stuff inside getting wet.

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 have a black tote and I love it. Yes, I believe it is waterproof/resistant. I haven't experienced anything different. I hope you are enjoying your tote! I love my tote!

I doubt it's waterproof, it's an inexpensive bag. I wouldn't trust it in a thunderstorm

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

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

I have not gotten it wet but the battery is in the center of the bag so it would have to get totally soaked to reach it! I wouldn't say it's waterproof. More a work bag then a backpacking bag.

The bag appears to be water resistant and there is a map sleeve that allows you to protect a paper map or riding instructions. There is no large cover that would protect it from serious rain though. I suspect for most outings it will do fine. I really like the ability to remove it from the bike and use it as a shoulder bag. It is also large enough to carry a few small articles of clothing and snacks. Hope this helps. DT

It's definitely lined so if a little accident did happen, it wouldn't immediately come through or damage the bag. The inside is similar to the fabric of a down coat and I would call it water resistant.

Based on my quick test, this bag is only water resistant. I put my hand in one of the pockets and poured water over the bag. After a while the water seemed to seep through, although my hand never got wet I did feel moisture.

I just tested it by pouring a little bit water on it from my kitchen sink. The water flowed across it. Nevertheless, I don't consider this bag waterproof. If water spills on it accidentally, and u wipe it off quick, your laptop will be safe... I think there's vulnerability around the zipper. But I gotta say this: "It is a solid bag". I love mine

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...

Short answer, No. The bag is not water resistant nor does it have a spot for holding water bottles. This bag is a last resort for those of us on a very very tight budget. If you can afford a better option, buy it. I couldn't but wish I could have.

I agree with Mystri and Buckwheat. The zippers don't appear to be water proof, so water will get in if the bag is subjected to heavy rainfall or a deluge of some sort. Ordinary rain or drizzle should be no problem though.

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!
