Is the bag waterproof enough to provide protection in a light rain or snow situation?

I haven't tested it, but it seems that it should protect in LIGHT rain/snow

In light rain the bag kept camera and accessories dry. Have not used it in snow. Love the bag, keeps things handy and carries well as back pack.

Haven't experienced the bag in the rain, but I would say it is likely waterproof. Very sturdy and stays clean.The rain cover is not the stiff leathery type.Hope this helps.

No, the bag is not fully waterproof. It is also not at all dustproof, and not very protective of your equipment. It holds a lot and is comfortable and easy to organize, but is not really the best for equipment that is going to be in very wet or dusty conditions.

I don't know. I never had it exposed to the rain. I really like the bag, however, and it seems to be well made.

Although I have not had mine out in the rain, I would suspect that this bag would provide a good amount of protection. It has a quality zipper an nylon which repels water. Overall I wouldnt be afraid of having my tablet or laptop out in the elements with this bag however if it was pouring down I think I would trow in a big ziplock for added protection.

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.

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 is not waterproof. it is a kind of fleece material so I think it is ok for light rain.

definitely! this bag does well in regards to keeping external moisture due to wet-weather precipitation (rain, snow, etc).

yes, its water resistant, i had it soaked in the rain and inside was pretty dry. I don't know about submerging the bag though...

I would say yes. I didn't try it yet under heavy rain, but the fabric seems to be water resistant. However, the zippers might play a big role in this, by keeping it watertight.

I would never call it waterproof but I have been rained on a bit and nothing got inside. Keep a poncho with you in it, just in case.

It should withstand a short time in the rain. The outer fabric is some sort of plastic weave and there's probably some structural cardboard in between that and the inner padding. I doubt the rain would make it much past the outer layer very quickly. The weak point is the zipper since it's not a waterproof or even water-resistant design, which significantly reduces the amount of time it's likely to protect its contents. Personally, I'd consider it acceptable for emergency light water protection, but not much more than that.

I believe it is water resistant. To be waterproof the material would need to be a plastic/vinyl material. It is a very good water resistant bag as the zippers are enclosed under a flap.

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.

We have not used ours in the rain, but in researching it previously it does not sound like it is 100% waterproof. I think other users waterproofed their things inside the bag. We used the pad that was on the recommended list in between the car roof and the bag, did not damage the car/paint.

its not water proof, but you can carry a good reusable rain poncho and it can cover you and the bag aswell
