Is the backpack waterproof and is there a place to hold a water bottle ?

I would not call it water proof, but it dose shed water to some degree depending on how long you in it also noted zippers do have flaps that help a lot with water shedding , warm rain is the worst for getting wet and the only thing i use to protect is a plastic bag over this if in heavy rain , no water bottle holder but you could pick up camel back and put it inside with feed tube if you want to hang a water bottle it has 2 lower side straps to use that hang lose outside of the the 2 large side compartments its up to the user how to conf it ! Nice heavy, large backpack !

I don't believe its waterproof....maybe a bit water resistant and it has side zipper pouches that can hold a few water bottles.

The two zipper side pouches easily hold a liter Nalgene bottle. They will not hold two, but the bottle doesn't fill the pouches, you could carry something under the bottles.

It is water repelent. I use scotchgaurd on all my packs for extra protection. There is no designated place for a water bottle on this pack I just put mine in the side pouch

Yes, the mesh pouch is on the front of the bag (hard to see in this picture) that will hold a water bottle but its a tight fit. It's more a pouch to hold smaller items rather than a water bottle.

It is water resistant, but not waterproof. It has a layer of vinyl-like backing under the outermost layer (front pocket side) and I've carried my laptop in it during some pretty bad storms. No water inside ever.

It's made of good quality material and the padded computer space is up against your back underneath the zipper. I used mine in moderate rain without an umbrella with no leakage. Can't say what would happen in a downpour. In the past with other backpacks, I've used a plastic shopping bag and tied the handles underneath the straps and just let it lay over the top of the pack for added protection in heavy rain. Haven't done that with this one yet. I think it's a great pack

Yes, we have three of this brand of back pack. The side, net pocket can accommodate a water bottle. I also like that the overall size of this back pack is slightly smaller than normal backpacks and does not overwhelm a child-size body. It is however large enough for standard sized folders, books, lunch boxes etc.

Not a specific place. If is up to 500 ml bottle I use the lateral pocket. If is too big I put inside. Is really big backpack, so carrying things is not a problem.

Yes, the inside is a removable, hard compartment that has no seams and is completely waterproof. The only time water leaks out is if you tip it upside down and some water will creep out the zipper.

Not water proof...will keep rain off of contents for a while. Will charge 2-3 devices. Would be nice to have more compartments a a water bottle holder on the outside.

No, it is not waterproof or water resistant. I still like it very much and use it daily. I put items such as Monet and gum in small plastic bags inside the pack to prevent them from getting wet from rain or sweat.

No, not this one nor any other back pack I know of is water proof. Have bags used in wet conditons (boats) that are water proof but they are no back packs. Other then that this is a great, versatile and well made pack which I really enjoy.

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!

The backpack is water resistant, and has a rain cover that can be put over the back if needed.

There's a pocket on the inside to put your iPod with a rubber insert on the top of the pack to allow the headphones wires to pass through, so the backpack isn't entirely water resistant, but definitely not waterproof. The inside is lined pretty well, so I haven't had a problem with all the rain we've had recently.

You could put a water bottle in the top section between the two side handles. Or hang it on the side using a strap or cord (there are small loops to attach things to). But there are no external pouches big enough to hold a water bottle, only a couple filter pockets. And if you put the bottle inside, you might have to take the bag off to get to it.

No. It has pockets that will hold a bottle of water but not one specifically designed for it.

I have not actually ridden in the rain with it. I don't know that it's waterproof -- I would probably cover it if riding in rain for an extended period of time. I do like the size of it -- not too big, not too small. There is a spot on the back meant for a water bottle I guess, but not very useful unless you want to stop your bike every time you want to grab a drink!! There is also a small loop on the back so you can attach a light or reflector to the back of the bag. Hope that helps!

There are not pockets on the side for waterbottles, but the backpack can easily hold three textbooks and your laptop. (granted that not ALL THREE textbooks are going to be your average size of a physics book or something)
