Is the stuff sack waterproof? If plan on having this attached to the outside of my pack do I need a different sack or trashbag to cover it?

Its not waterproof, so you may need a cover of some kind if you are out in the wet.

No, it's not waterproof. If you must keep it dry, wrap it in a water-proof garbage bag.

I would think it is not waterproof. Depending on how tightly you roll it up the end of the does not close tightly. I cannot roll it up as tightly as a man might so it really does not close tightly. If you were backpacking I would certainly cover it with plastic.

Yes the outside is waterproof, I've been caught inthe rain numberous occasions,and nothing inside ever got wet. It's a great bag, I love mine, hope this helps.

It doesn't say anything in the description about being waterproof or water repellant. It may keep items dry in a small amount of rain...but like others have said....Cover it with a trash bag or some sort of rain gear! After all, you spent allot of money on camera equipment, why take chances on it getting damaged from water!

The bag kept my items dry in a day long light drizzle but I have yet to be caught in a down pour. The outer most pocket does have a vinyl layer inside the pouch. However, the zippers do not have a cover flap over the zipper so I would probably list this as water resistant rather than water proof. The pack did adjust & carry well and I am 100% pleased with it thus far. Hope this helps.

It is not water-proof. I sheds water fairly well though. In my experience, unless you fork out the money for a true dry-bag, backpacks are never waterproof after about 30 minutes in the rain.

definitely not waterproof - I did find a dry bag that fits perfectly but haven't had an opportunity to work with it yet. with my health and age it's kind of like a hurricane bug out bag for me. hope this has been some help. good luck.

No this backpack is not waterproof or resistant...I'd recommend keeping a poncho handy inside the bag...

This pack is not waterproof, but is water resistant. However, because it is a pack frame with bags, the bags can be removed and something like the Seal Line bag, which is waterproof, can be mounted comfortably.

Rach, It seems to be water resistant but not water proof. It began to rain on one of my hikes and everything was dry...it was a light rain, though so I'm not sure how much it could take. Sorry I couldn't be more help - it IS a great little bag, though!

The outer bag is permanenently attached. It is water resistant. There is a waterproof pocket in the main bag.

No, it isn't waterproof. I've had it out in the rain, and it is somewhat resistant, keeping things dry for a few minutes only. My daughter had a similar pack while attending college, and simply sprayed it with the same waterproofing she used for her suede boots. It still wasn't completely waterproof, but definitely held long enough for her to get from the college back to her apartment, even on days she forgot her umbrella. Don't know what Wenger would have to say about her "life hack", but she was pretty proud of herself.

The material of the bag is water resistant. I take mine out in the rain all the time. Never had a problem with my items getting wet. It's not waterproof. So if it ends up submerged in water your stuff will likely end up wet. But it can definitely withstand some heavy splashing. Just remember to keep the zipper closed!

Unknown. Was given as a gift to someone else for 2012 survival bug out bag. Not sure if it has ever been out of doors yet. Unless stated as water-proof, I consider any pack as just water resistant.

There is a synthetic cover that is stored in the bottom compartment. If you need a fully waterproof bag I'd look elsewhere. It's more of a rain cover honestly

No, not waterproof inside the pocket. It is netting, meant to hold items you want to take with you. You can put whatever you want in it, including a dry bag if you need to keep something dry!

The outer material is water resistant. I just tested it and water ran right off while pouring from a cup. However, the zipper cloth is not. Dripping water on the zipper, it soaks the water in. There are flaps inside the zipper, but the water soaks into that inner material. With "enough" water on that area, your stuff will get wet. There is no outer protective flap over the zipper. If you were going from a parking lot to a building in the rain, I'd say you're fine. If you were hiking for more than a minute in anything more than a steady rain, your stuff could get a bit wet. Scotch guarding the zipper cloth could be an option, but I don't know if that would do much since the zippers are so exposed. Good luck.

It is described as rainproof on both Amazon and ROLA's website. We used it on a camping trip last month and it was raining on the drive there and back. Everything in the ROLA bag was completely dry. It is very heavy duty and well-made. I think it will keep anything dry that's in it. I am very satisfied with this bag.
