Hello. Is the horizontal bag waterproof, too? Only the 'vertical' one reads 'waterproof'. Thank u in advance to all of u who replied.

the vertical is not waterproof, it is water resistant so if the horizontal is made from the same material it is water resistant as well.

I suppose you could, but after heavy use it might develop some cracks or tears that will let water in. I wouldn't reccomend it unless you don't care about the $60, it isnt the highest quality bag ever, but it gets the job done and has lasted me quite a while with no major defects so far. If you want to leave it out I would at least cover the top with some plastic so the rain would run off instead of gethering and maybe seeping in. I've never tested the water-proof qualities personally so I have no idea how it would hold up over time.

When rolled & cinched correctly, yes, it is completely waterproof...that said, I would HIGHLY recommend adding 1 more layer of protection for very expensive/valuable items, just to be safe. Anything even as simple as 1 of those waterproof bags or boxes you can pick up at Walmart & make sure you test it in your tub or something before using it in case of defects (they happen). We filled the tub & left it submerged overnight w/a towel in it before our rafting trip. This is a GREAT bag!

Yeah, I purchased one, mine was not water proof, I contacted and explained, but they never replied back.. Bought it in Sept. Didnt use it till Dec, laid it out on 2" of snow, climbed it the bags. With in 20-30 minutes it was seaping in moisture.. Would only suggest using a pad between it and the ground... I was very disappointed to say the least.. I had very high expectations for this product and was left very unsatistified. They never replied to my email...

The bag kept my items dry in a day long light drizzle but I have yet to be caught in a down pour. The outer most pocket does have a vinyl layer inside the pouch. However, the zippers do not have a cover flap over the zipper so I would probably list this as water resistant rather than water proof. The pack did adjust & carry well and I am 100% pleased with it thus far. Hope this helps.

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.

The bag has a ziploc seal, but they stapled their cardboard sign to the bag so it has holes in it. I had to store them in another bag. The last bag I had lasted three years. Same as you 2 or 3 at a time. Even if they dry up, just put some water on them and they will still work .

I would like to know if they all arrive wet in the plastic bag? Also would like to know if I should dry them any suggestion will be helpful.I put it in a zip bag but I am afraid it will mold.

The bags are water resistant, but not completely water proof. We have not had anything get wet in the bag as of yet.

Hi Howie,I was caught in a small rain and the roof does seem waterproof...you need to dry it off before packing it up...which was impossible for me...so I opened it up when I got home, dried it and wiped it...otherwise it WILL mold. My side zippers are not rugged at all...I have zipped them right off twice now! There's no catch at the end to stop them from doing that - it's frustrating to me...but maybe I'm doing something wrong? Hope this helps.

This bag is water-resistant...not water-proof. A little rain wouldn't be a problem...but it couldn't keep your items inside dry if left in a heavy rain.

The front pouch is permanently sewn on. It is lined in a vinyl like material but the zipper and the drainage grommet on the bottom of the pouch render it not waterproof. There is a dry pocket inside the main bag that runs the length from top to bottom. I have not tested it's dryness yet but other reviews say it is a real dry pocket.

It is not waterproof. I was in a downpour without a cover once. It held out for a bit but started getting wet inside. Buy a cover. Other than that the bag has held up for a couple of years and is holding up great.

Waterproof? I would doubt they are officially "waterproof" but they will handle a bit of rain. I actually had a water bottle open (while riding) inside a bag. I had to turn the pannier upside down to dump most of the water out.

I would not consider it waterproof but definitely water resistant. It is made of quality nylon material that will prevent your stuff from getting wet in a rain. It is also well padded which helps with the water resistant qualities. Just try not to submerge the bag.

I'm not sure how rough the conditions are out there, but i'm very please with the bag, the quality and the sturdiness. It doesn't seem to be water proof, but is very sturdy and high quality. I would feel comfortable taking out there myself. The only other option would be a completely waterproof bag.

It is water proof to a degree. If you submerge the pack, contents will get wet unless they're in sealed water proof bags which are available through out door and hiking stores.
