would documents inside stay dry if bag carried in a rainstorm?

According to the description of this case on Amazon, it appears to be water resistant. To me this seems to be similar to a water resistant coat or jacket that will keep you dry in a light rain but not a torrential downpour. I have an A7 16" laptop case which is constructed in a similar manner but which has a rubberized bottom. My Targus case is awesome. I feel confident you will be happy with yours, that it will protect your laptop or documents, but use a little caution in a torrential down pour. Hope this is helpfull.

I Just used it today under rain. Just perfect. Of course the zips are not proof. But in general is the best bag I own. MAURO

Gloria, i didint much care for this bag and did not get to use it in the rain before passing it along. Just didint care for it, but i dont think this bag is water proof and i wouldint trust it to be.

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.

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.

Based on my experience it will be OK for a while in normal rain, but really would not keep everything dry if exposed to water for long periods of time. The good thing is that the laptop is in a separate case that will add another layer of protection. But if you are looking for 100% rugged take anywhere type of case this is not it.

It's made of good quality material and the padded computer space is up against your back underneath the zipper. I used mine in moderate rain without an umbrella with no leakage. Can't say what would happen in a downpour. In the past with other backpacks, I've used a plastic shopping bag and tied the handles underneath the straps and just let it lay over the top of the pack for added protection in heavy rain. Haven't done that with this one yet. I think it's a great pack

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.

Water-proof? No. Water-resistant? Probably. I've had this backpack for approx. 2 months, and have had zero issues commuting to work in the rain without an umbrella. My laptop/notebooks have always stayed dry in light to moderate rain, although I haven't tested it in heavy rain for long distances...and I don't plan on taking the risk, unless absolutely necessary.

The bag is water resistant for a rain shower. However, if you will traveling in water I would buy a better case for the tent as this one is just a drawstring closure. Hope this helps.

I have not used this backpack in the rain. But judging from the feel of the material I would say that it is not waterproof. It might be slightly water resistant.

As the others have stated, light rain or passing through a sprinkler head, items inside should stay dry. If you know you may hit some rain on a long ride... A clear plastic disposable shower cap... They have elastic that will grip your bag, keep it dry in a downpour and can be shaken dry and stored in the tiniest of space. So now, get out there and ride, no matter what the weather.

it can resist rain to a certain extent, but cmon it has zippers so water can get in if you leave your bag in the rain for too long. But if I were youI wouldn't buy it because although it looks high quality, after months of usage the zippers and the fabric are exposed for their poor quality and aftera year the bag is torn all over from the straps to the zippers. It looks like a mess after 1 year. Trust me I bought mine and I used to loved it

Yes, the material is waterproof in that the rain runs off the sides, and not through. However, that being said, unless you have a very tiny table, it would not be a very dry sit during a rain storm. Nor would you want to leave a book out under it. I know, that really doesn't answer your question.

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.

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

Yes the bag is water resistant. It would not stand up to being submerged or left in the rain over a period of time but it's fine for spills or light wetness.
