He whole bag is mesh, it has a little "privacy" pocket that is solid material but it's small...it fits my daughters Samsung phone. Other than that it's mesh

Yes, the whole backpack is mesh except for a small pocket. The wet towel will make your back and clothes wet.

Yes it will. the bag is entirley mesh. if you get a Nike Mesh bag, although having a higher price, you will have a solid backing.

I used it in summer Arizona. Never had it rained on. It fell into pool and got wet. we dried it in the sun. Not plastic tarp. I think it's some kind of "cloth-like" nylon. Feels like canvas, but prob not as porous. I think it would hold water but eventually drip?? Love it for shade.

The back portion of the case is lined on the inside with hard plastic, but the front is just the material alone. Which is the typical backpack material. It may resist some light rain for a short time, but I wouldn't count on it withstanding some hard rain. I know my son has walked home in some light drizzle with it and it didn't hurt it.

I have accidentally left my bike out in the rain and I was able to towel dry it quickly so it doesn't retain water or get soaking wet. The fabric is not slippery when wet either so to be wet while riding it shouldn't be an issue. Hope this helps.

I can't say what it would do in a pouring rain, or if it were completely soaked. But, I have this bag on my bike, and it rained a few times when I was out for my 17 mile ride yesterday. The outside of the bag was wet, but the water beaded up, and was easily wiped off. The contents inside stayed dry.

I went to a very humid site for several hours and the outside of the backpack was covered with due and soaked. The stuff on the inside was dry. Don't know if more water would seep in but it definitely fought off the due.

I have not had the bag in heavy rain or snow yet. It is not made out of plastic or material impervious to moisture but it's very well made and I'm guessing the heavy nylon it's made with would keep things dry inside.

Hello! Mine has a non-mesh seat back. It's more of a harder, form fitting foam. Like a car seat.

Black waterproof material. Not sure what that material would be called? Not quite rubbery. Not thin mesh? Not quite vinyl? But a sturdy rubberyish under bottom? Hope that makes sense since I had to make up a work for you?

It's a poly or nylon a very open mesh it should dry ok. I haven't gotten it soaking yet, but a dry ventilated place I don't think it'd stink. Like all gear take care of it or expect it to fail.

I have never had any water get in that I am aware of. It simply has a top with a wide lip and inner wall on the cover that helps create a snug fit. I don't go into it often, but have never noticed that anything has been wet. One item I store in it is charcoal and the bag is always dry.

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

Yea, the material is waterproof wipe clean kind. You can throw it in the washer dryer too. Had seen a youtube review stating that. I havent needed to do that yet though. I love my bag, very spacious.

My has never really got wet. I have been caught in the rain.... with no damage to the contents of my backpack. However the marerial does seem like it would be at minimum resistant. Hope that helps.

it takes two secs to wipe it down with a towel. I don't know of any water proof bags that big but bed bath and beyond . com sells a laundry bag back pack that is the perfect size for transporting it and is CHEAP like $10

It's very thin ripstop material. It was a perfect daypack. I didn't get it significantly wet, but put an edge under the faucet just now. Not waterproof, but it took maybe 15 seconds to permeate the fabric under faucet flow. I'd guess no for Splash Mountain. For a change of clothes, toiletries, a couple of on-the-go meals, it did great. I anticipate using it for the same things when I get to travel. I would keep a tablet or paperbacks in it, but not a laptop or textbooks. Hope that wandering journey helps!

Mostly, obviously stuff in front pockets gets wet, but stuff in main compartments stays mostly dry. IF there are clothes not in plastic bags, they'll get damp (I think the wind gets water under the flaps since they're only attached by the bucket and not a water-proof zipper. There's definitely not like ppols of water in the main compartments, though.
