Hi - is this umbrella waterproof enough to be under it in the rain with a laptop? Thank you -

I thought about your question yesterday when I put up the umbrella and although it's cute and I would order it again I'm not sure it will give you the protection you need underneath it in order to sit and work on a laptop.

I honestly can't say. Even though we live in Seattle we tend not to sit outside in the rain. It's pretty heavy canvas so I would think in a light rain it would be ok. It's very well made.

I've actually never dropped it into the water to test, but the only part that could be water tight / water proof would be the laptop compartment. It has the rubber seal and is made from the standard pelican case composite material. The rest of the backpack is made from a heavy canvas material with zippers. I am sure it is all coated with a water proof coating but I do not think I would stick it under water to find out if it is water tight!

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 don't think it is water resistant but protects my laptop well without letting any water inside.

I did a few tests on it and it does look like its water resistance. I put my laptop in it and ran water from a faucet. I have been in pretty heavy rain with it, never longer than about 15 seconds, and it never got wet. Hope this helps!

We have not used ours in the rain, but in researching it previously it does not sound like it is 100% waterproof. I think other users waterproofed their things inside the bag. We used the pad that was on the recommended list in between the car roof and the bag, did not damage the car/paint.

This backback will keep you laptop and notes dry in light rain. However, it will not do so well in heavy rain or when it is exposed to entended periods in the rain. To protect your laptop and notes you should get a backpack rain cover and carry it inside the pack or carry waterproof bags that you can use to internally protect your laptop and notes.

I've never used it in the rain, but I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine as a rain umbrella--

Can't be immersed in water. It will protect the computer from rain or splashed water, but not a deluge.

It's definitely not water proof, but yes, it will suffice if running from your office to the car while raining...pretty much any case will protect your device in that way. If you drop it into a puddle during said rain, that's another story.

The manufacturer claims it is waterproof to some military standard. Various people have put it underwater with no bad effects; I have no reason to push my luck. I have no doubt it would be fine, say, in a backpack in rain.

Not recommended for swimming with. Doing well on a rain. I was on motorcycle with him on my back, my MSI stayed dry together with rest of the things in it. And it was raining fine.

It should withstand a short time in the rain. The outer fabric is some sort of plastic weave and there's probably some structural cardboard in between that and the inner padding. I doubt the rain would make it much past the outer layer very quickly. The weak point is the zipper since it's not a waterproof or even water-resistant design, which significantly reduces the amount of time it's likely to protect its contents. Personally, I'd consider it acceptable for emergency light water protection, but not much more than that.

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 not used it for rain myself but the person who recommended it to me had and said it worked great for rain. I cannot see any reason it would not as the material is thick and certainly seems like it would not let water through.

It worked just fine in the rain. It seems to be sealed really well and a solid little cycling computer.

Thanks for the question but unfortunately I have not yet been out in the rain with it. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Happy Christmas anyhow.
