Is this backpack water-resistant?

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.

Don't know exactly, but used it under heavy raining conditions. No problem at all.

I have definitely gotten caught in some heavy rain biking to and from campus and nothing inside has been damaged. It does get wet though and could probably soak all the way through if exposed to rain for a longer period.

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.

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

There's a pocket on the inside to put your iPod with a rubber insert on the top of the pack to allow the headphones wires to pass through, so the backpack isn't entirely water resistant, but definitely not waterproof. The inside is lined pretty well, so I haven't had a problem with all the rain we've had recently.

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.

Im not sure if it's qualified as a water proof, but seems like it. I would feel safe to walk with this bag under rain. Definitely wouldn't swim with it :-)

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.

I'd say it's resistant but not water proof. I've taken it out in the pouring rain and everything inside has stayed dry, but I'd be afraid to drench it just in case.

No it doesn't, the backpack itself is almost weather sealed, I suppose it can stand a light rain without a problem (never tested it, since I bought the cover).

Yes. The mesh is elastic and has held up extremely well during two years of daily use, continuously carrying a water bottle in the side pocket. It seems to be just as good as it was when I first bought it, so Osprey has used some good material to allow this thing to last like it has. I have not used it much in the rain, but it seems like it would hold up fine in light rain for a short period of time. I would not expect it to hold out a downpour on a day hike though.

Water resistant, I'd say, yes. Waterproof, no. I sent mine through the washer by accident and it had some issues for a few days before completely drying out.

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?

Yes, the entire case is water resisted, there is a zipper so some water may get in under very hard rain but so far so good. GREAT BAG

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"...

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 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.

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.

Good question since I was carrying it in the rain today. The large compartment closeset to your back has a different material on the inside that would resist water pretty well except in drenching conditions. The outer material of the pack is a tough, but not waterproof, denier material. It get's damp with exposure to rain but I haven't had it soak through yet. If you're concerned about getting contents wet I'd recommend ziploc bags or small / medium sil nylon stuff sacks for contents.

No. It is not water resistant. However. If you set it down on wet pavement, your books won't get wet. In a puddle, different story.
