would documents inside stay dry if bag carried in a rainstorm?

According to the description of this case on Amazon, it appears to be water resistant. To me this seems to be similar to a water resistant coat or jacket that will keep you dry in a light rain but not a torrential downpour. I have an A7 16" laptop case which is constructed in a similar manner but which has a rubberized bottom. My Targus case is awesome. I feel confident you will be happy with yours, that it will protect your laptop or documents, but use a little caution in a torrential down pour. Hope this is helpfull.

Yes, the entire case is water resisted, there is a zipper so some water may get in under very hard rain but so far so good. GREAT BAG

I wouldn't say water proof, it's proved rather durable and water resistant to walking through the rain. I've had it in some down poor's and the items inside stayed dry. Just be sure and dry it out thoroughly before putting it away.

I keep it under a porch roof, but when rain has blown in, the contents have remained dry. My suspicions are that in direct rain, it would keep contents dry, but not prevent dampness from humidity.

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

I Just used it today under rain. Just perfect. Of course the zips are not proof. But in general is the best bag I own. MAURO

This backpack is not impermeable... It will be ok to protect it if starts to rain and you arrive fast to a dry place.

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.

It would take a while until water penetrates into the case. Unless you stay under rain for say 20 minutes or not take the passport out of the case right after spill, I do not think there should be any problem.

The Bag is not made of waterproof material. It will slowly drain out but the process make take several days.If you are not going to have it very long and it might rain, cover it with a waterproof tarp.

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 inside stays dry and I suppose you could leave the bottom zipper and the side zipper open a little but depending on how hard the wind blows it may get wet with them open.

Yes, the material is waterproof in that the rain runs off the sides, and not through. However, that being said, unless you have a very tiny table, it would not be a very dry sit during a rain storm. Nor would you want to leave a book out under it. I know, that really doesn't answer your question.

Well...I have never had the bag in the rain,it has a great zipper in the middle the bag seems like it would be fine in rain,also there is a spray water repellent that you can use...

I would say more water resistant. I kept stuff in ziploc bags, the rain had no affect on these items. I doubt things would stay dry if the lumbar bag was submerged in water.

Yes it looks like it would withstand the rain. Every thing looks to be sealed. Hope thid helps.

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.
