I returned the Ibera bag and rack and purchased the Topeak MTX Beam Rack and TrunkBag DX. The MTX TrunkBag is water repellant however if you need something more waterproof there is an optional rain cover available.

I believe it's "all weather" which basically means there's a rain cover included. The cover is attached to the bag and is stored in its own pocket.

It has a pocket on the bottom back of the bag in the pocket is a rain coat for the bag it is made to cover the bag completely its built in so the bag itself isn't waterproof but it comes with a waterproof cover

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.

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

Does not come with rain cover. I have the 41 and was disappointed that it did not come with one. Rain covers seem pretty standard for many bags with this price tag.

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.

Yes, there's a rain cover that's tucked away in the front behind a zippered compartment. Its attached to the bag so that it's easier to put on.

It doesn't come with the rain cover. They sell rain covers for it. I'm not sure if it's the newer model. I bought it on amazon about 8 months ago. I still think it is a great pack.

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.

It doesn't come with a rain cover, but it does have a water proof bag inside of the smaller, top bag. However, it's quite waterproof on it's own. We road in the rain for several hours and our luggage did not get soaked.

No it doesn't. The smaller pack has a waterproof internal liner. I haven't had any issues with my gear getting wet, but I'm not in the rain too much either.

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.

This bag is water-resistant...not water-proof. A little rain wouldn't be a problem...but it couldn't keep your items inside dry if left in a heavy rain.

The exterior fabric is nicely coated nylon, the interior fabric (compartment divider, inside of the pockets) is not. Zippers and seams are not waterproof, but there is a rain flap on the main zip. So a ligth rain should be no problem but a deluge or a submersion will see water penetrate the inside. Same as most quality packs. I keep a couple of disposable shopping bags in the bottom in case I get caught out in a bad rain unexpectedly, and if I'll be boating or expect submersion I use appropriate waterproof containers inside where needed. "Be Prepared".

No, because of the velcro opening, rain can get into the bag. It would not be good under heavy rain, light rain would be ok.

It seems some what water resistant. I haven't been caught in the rain with it as if yet though. It's toddler resistant if that says anything?! Wish I had a better answer for you... I do love the bag though, now I need a larger one for additional lenses and "stuff"...
