Is this pack waterproof?
1500936
Its supposed to be. Haven't tested it on hard rain. Is at least water resistant.
1500937
Didn't test it. But I had it out in a light rain briefly and the stuff inside stayed dry. However, judging by the fabric used, I wouldn't necessarily dump it in a tank of water and expect everything to be dry for hours (or minutes).

Yes! I carried it around in the rain forests of Costa Rica during the rainy season and all of my things stayed dry.

Hi Francisco. I can't answer for sure, because I haven't had it out in weather yet, but I would say no, since no packs, with the exception of those designed for snorkeling, etc., are "waterproof". There is a coating inside, and I assume that it helps make the pack water resistant, but a good rain would definitely soak it, as it would most packs.If you need waterproof, carry a garbage bag, or pack cover, like most backpackers do. Obviously, this pack wasn't designed to withstand continuous exposure to extreme conditions.

I wouldn't go as far as saying waterproof. Water-repellent is more like it. It will definitely keep dry in a light rain, but not if you're out in it for hours or caught in a torrential downpour.

I have no idea. It's not advertised as waterproof. It has electronics in it, but none are on the outside. I would think a mist or very light drizzle might be okay, but anything that seeped into the inside of the pack could hurt the battery and/or connectors. If it was me, I would keep it dry.

Absolutely. I've had in during some hard rains and zero leakage. Now what this isn't is airtight. So if you're in a humid place, moisture will get to whatever you're stashing. But as far as rain and water, yes it's waterproof.

Its about as water resistant as you can expect from a good backpack. Mine gets hit by small spray when travelling from the bank to the ship via a small craft. Has moderate water on it, no serious water amount, and my contents are still fine and dry. Hope it helps.

I do not see where it says "waterproof" it is water resistant however. I hope this helps.

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

No, it isn't. The material is water resistant. It also has it's own attached cover, stored in the bottom, that is also said to be water resistant. Maybe with the 2 working together it might make it waterproof but since they both say "resistant" I wouldn't take the chance. I am not sure why they wouldn't make at least the cover waterproof but since on the tag it says resistant then that is what I treat it as. I went out and bought a spray can of KIWI Select Super Protector with NANO particles and sprayed the entire outer fabric of the pack a couple times and I haven't had any problems since doing so. I am the type of person that would rather avoid a potential problem by taking a simple precautionary step that will assure that problem won't happen. In this case, I spent the ten bucks on a spray that reinforced the waterproofness of the pack rather than being on a week long hike and having all my gear be soaked within the 1st couple days because the material is water "resistant"! I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Its not waterproof, but it is water-resistant. As long as everything's fully zipped up it can last through light rain.

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.

No, I don't think so. If you want water proof, you need to have the bag you put this in be waterproof.

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

No, not waterproof, but t you would be hard pressed to find a bag similar to this that is waterproof. The 600-Denier Poly/Canvas does a good job at holding out any water.

My has never really got wet. I have been caught in the rain.... with no damage to the contents of my backpack. However the marerial does seem like it would be at minimum resistant. Hope that helps.

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.

Almost no backpacks would qualify as truly waterproof. For that they would need a to have a very complex closure and sealant along every seam. I wouldn't hesitate to use this bag in a moderate rainstorm while hiking or biking. I would not, however rely on it to keep my gear dry while kayaking. The large top flap will do a good job of keeping your stuff dry provided that the opening of the main compartment is completely covered. The pullover cover may be nice if you're bent over the handle bars of a bicycle, otherwise it's not particularly useful.The bag itself is great. Huge capacity with a slim profile. Highly recommended for almost any dry land activity. Almost no backpacks would qualify as truly waterproof. For that they would need a to have a very complex closure and sealant along every seam.

Sayaka, I was in Florida for eleven days, out of the eleven it rained almost every day. Yes it is waterproof, if your asking if you can submerge it under water, I can not answer that. All I can tell you is when it was pouring in Florida like it does during the rainy season, everything in the bag said dried. I truly recommend the pack, it is one of the best backpacks I have ever bought and I truly enjoy using it for day trips, school and at places I have to wait. I have no complaints. I hope this answers your question.

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!
