how good is the water resistant outer fabric, are we talking drizzle, rain, or heavy rain?

I have never used it in rain. Would be ok in light rain. I would keep a water proof bag handy inside backpack for camera

It's probably good in a light to moderate rain but would get soaked in a heavy rain.

Recentjy, I was in FL during a very heavy rain with driving wind. Nothing inside the backpack got wet.

I am using the pack in Arizona, so I have not used it in the rain. It appears to be water repellent and the zippers are protected with an overlay of fabric.

I wouldnt trust it too much in the rain to be honest, but thats just my opinion based on typical chinese build quality. Im sure a ziplock baggy would work well. Keep an eye out for nano-sprays in aerosol cans. They essentially water-proof/water-resistant anything you spray.

I would say water resistant but not water proof. I always use a towel on the bottom just in case

I have used it in a driving rainstorm for more than 6 hours with no issue so I would have to say yes it is water resistant

I'd go with Water resistant. I've been on a couple of rides of 1-2 hours in the rain (light to moderate rains), and my gear has been dry afterwards, but these were not heavy rains.I'd still probably bag everything if I was going to be in hours long heavy rain.

The material is fabric. We have not had it out in rain, do not know the level of waterproof. It is more sun proof than the original canopy.

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.

The nylon is water resistant, however it's not waterproof and the zippers are not sealed, nor are the seams taped. Light rain for a short time would be fine, heavy water would seep in.

It will keep you mostly dry ;-). I live in Texas so if we get caught in a rain storm in the summer, we will get just as wet from perspiration. The material is waterproof and the seams don't leak. Be sure to put the hood up. Bnowlin48

Water resistant and that used loosely... It's good against sweat or if you get caught in a sprinkle but not extreme water contact. I hope that helps

I have not used it n a heavy downpour. I've been in light rain situations and had no problems. The plugs all fit snugly. I'd be comfortable saying water resistant more than waterproof. That said, I've had mine (two units) nearly a year and have been very happy with the units.

DI have had this cover up for about a year in Los Angeles. We don't get a lot of rain,but it has been very water resistant the whole time. It is high quality, and the color is still very vibrant after one year of California sun.

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.

I would say water resistant, had some pretty heavy rains and table underneath hasn't gotten wet

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 would say yes to the fit as it will be big but it stays on even in high winds. Now as for waterproof I don't know but water resistant yes it is. My husband's bike is under a carport but on the edge so it would be wet in the rain but the cover keeps it dry. Hope this helps.
