Is this backpack waterproof or not? I'm not going to swim with it, I just want to know if it would protect my stuff from a strong rain.

It depends what kind off rain, but it comes with a overcase to protect it the hard cases.

IT comes with a rain cover. I was outside for about 8 hours in the rain and it kept everything inside dry with the cover on. However, back pocket, which sits along your back, is not protected by the cover and will become wet as rain from your back might soak through. This is where a laptop or such is intended to go. I would not recommend carrying anything of value in that pocket if you will be in the rain, otherwise, the cover sufficiently protects the remainder of the items in the other compartments.

For light drissle it can take it. It also come with a rain resistant body cover in case the weather really goes so bad. Answer here...

Yes, water proof but have to be reasonable with it. There are a lot of pockets with zippers and they are enrtypoints for water.

This bag is not rated as being water proof. Carry a 13gal. trash bag with you for full bag protection. Steve.

It comes with a rain cover that covers the entire backpack. The outer fabric does repel water somewhat, but the zippers would allow water to get inside.

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.

My personal experience is that the backpack will hold up under a mild wetting, but if you're going to try to walk 5-10 minutes in a downpour, spray on some waterproofing material or you are going to be rather upset.

Not water resistant at all if it's left outside. Perhaps can withstand a light rain moving from one place to another but that's it. I think you could help it a little with water proofer like what you use on tents, shoes, etc but that's just for a light protection.

Is this water-proof? I mean, can I walk in the rain with it without fearing that my laptop and my books are going to get wet?

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

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!

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"...

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've been in light rain and severe humidity. Many times, I've set it down on wet sand or dirt. I've never had my stuff on the inside get wet. I don't think it is built to be waterproof, so I wouldn't take it in extreme rain. But for anything less than a downpour, you'll be fine.

I would say it is water resistant, but certainly not waterproof. It is zippered on three sides, and certainly water could enter on those sides. In a mist or light rain you'd probably be okay with the non-zippered side pointing up, but I'd still carry it in waterproof bag.

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!

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!

I've actually never dropped it into the water to test, but the only part that could be water tight / water proof would be the laptop compartment. It has the rubber seal and is made from the standard pelican case composite material. The rest of the backpack is made from a heavy canvas material with zippers. I am sure it is all coated with a water proof coating but I do not think I would stick it under water to find out if it is water tight!

Well, I live in the Netherland and it rains here quite often. I have never found my belongings in the bag wet after walking in the rain. So if you use this bagpack as a city bagpack you can walk in the rain freely. But and this is a big But. It is not a water resistance backpack for extreme weather conditions, for instance 12 hours of heavy rain.

I don't think it would offer "waterproof" protection if you dropped it in the river.... but as for keeping the rain off and normal weather I think it does very well. Again, I have not tested this, but I assume water would make it through the zipper if you were scuba diving or walking in a torrential rain storm, but I have carried mine, tucked under my arm in all sorts of wet weather and never had an issue.

I am not sure about this, but I think it isn´t water-resistant. Nonetheless it is a very good backpack! I love mine..
