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.

Depends what you mean by that, if you have a torrential downpour then no, but if a little bit of rain then yes. We also have the hardshell travel cases if you wants something seriously tough.

it can resist rain to a certain extent, but cmon it has zippers so water can get in if you leave your bag in the rain for too long. But if I were youI wouldn't buy it because although it looks high quality, after months of usage the zippers and the fabric are exposed for their poor quality and aftera year the bag is torn all over from the straps to the zippers. It looks like a mess after 1 year. Trust me I bought mine and I used to loved it

I wouldn't rely on it for rainy weather however, I do highly recommend the case! It has 2 parts so it is possible for the water to get in and I am not sure how the leather will handle. If you are looking for a good waterproof case try the 'Canon Waterproof Housing WP-DC44 for Canon PowerShot G1 X Digital Camera' I just purchased for our most recent trip to a location with frequent tropical rains and it was also a great case!! Hope that helps.

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.

This travel wallet is resistant to light water exposure, but not complete submersion. It resists sweat and stayed dry when I got caught in a rainstorm without an umbrella.

I have a polyester raincoat with a bonded PVC coating on the inside, with sealed seams - I assume like this. It was issued 50 years ago and it's still rain proof - not water resistant. If this back pack isn't rainproof (not submersible) - the designers ought to be taken out and drowned or at least water boarded

I would say that it would not hurt to put your contents in a plastic bag for extra added protection because I have not personally had my bag soaking wet like it will be when taken on a water ride. I have got the bag wet on a couple of occasions from pouring rain and it stayed dry.

its not water proof, but you can carry a good reusable rain poncho and it can cover you and the bag aswell

Yes, we bought two of them for a 10 day trip and had 2 days of rain and everything stayed dry. They are made of thick material.

My husband has had this great bag for 9 months. He has traveled to Holland, St. Thomas and to work everyday. We live in Louisiana and we get our usual type of precipitation, but fortunately he has not been in a lot of thunderstorms. But the one's that he has been caught in everything inside remained dry. He also carries his laptop, iPad, his cell phone and the important documents inside this rolling brief case. He likes all the aspects of this bag and the many pockets, etc.

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

Resistant yes , if want waterproof I would suggest Rain covers. The packs are made of a material that has a water proof coating on the inside but will probably leak at the seams and zippers in a downpour.

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

Well, I live in the Netherland and it rains here quite often. I have never found my belongings in the bag wet after walking in the rain.So if you use this bagpack as a city bagpack you can walk in the rain freely. But and this is a big But. It is not a water resistance backpack for extreme weather conditions, for instance 12 hours of heavy rain.

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.

Good question since I was carrying it in the rain today. The large compartment closeset to your back has a different material on the inside that would resist water pretty well except in drenching conditions. The outer material of the pack is a tough, but not waterproof, denier material. It get's damp with exposure to rain but I haven't had it soak through yet. If you're concerned about getting contents wet I'd recommend ziploc bags or small / medium sil nylon stuff sacks for contents.
