No. The Everlast bags all seem to have a zipper that runs around the inside of the top of the bag. This won't keep water out-- it acts as a bowl.

I haven't left it out side for extended amounts of time. Its made of nylon fabric, I am not sure it's waterproof.

The fabric on the outside is vinyl, but the stitching on the sides would let rain in. More importantly, the zipper that holds the bag closed is at the top edge of the bag. The zipper edges are cloth and would let rain into the stuffing inside the bag, so it would get matted down and probably get moldy. So I would say no, it is not weather proof.

Unfortunately I did not have a chance to test the bag to be waterproofness. I returned it for a larger back pack. The quality was very high with this bag. And the material seemed like it would be very waterproof. If the size fits your needs I think it is a high quality bag for the price.

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

We do not think the bag is water proof and it does not state whether it is or not on the instructions.

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.

The bag is sowed on and the bag isn't waterproof but from my experience it stays fairly dry inside I keep my log book in there and it stays dry

It is not waterproof. I do love the bag though, simple and very large. Tons of space in it. If you're willing to use a water repellant spray or something similar I would highly recommend the bag itself. Thanks.

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

I haven't used it outside but, yes, it appears to be waterproof or at least water resistent.

The bottom of the bag is because it is made out of solid rubber, but the bag itself is not. It will repel some light precipitation for a while (light rain, fog, drizzle,etc), but a soaking rain shower would probably get into it. So if you are looking for a fully waterproof bag, this isn't it. But it gives you some protection.

Thank you for your question. I don't think they do because they claim the item is water-proof. Are you having issues with water leaking in the bag? - Ellen ellen@jafrum.com

It is not designed or made to be a waterproof bag, but it can definitely hold water outside without risking the electronics in inside and closed pockets. But again, it depends on how much waterproof you are looking for so it may not be for you.

I would not say it is rainproof. Rain resistant is more like it: I have been out with this bag in sudden showers, and nothing inside has gotten wet. However, I don't think it would fare as well in a very rainy environment or during a more lengthy downpour. Great bag, though!

The bags themselves are waterproof, but I would suggest you review proper sandbagging techniques, with proper overlap. They will certainly keep water out, but you'll need to make sure they are laid correctly.

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!
