Is this backpack water resistant?

Let's put it this way, it's like having a plastic bag around some books. The books don't get wet in the rain, but the plastic bag does. Rain does not sink through, but it's still wet. So let the backpack dry overnight and you are good to go;)

It is water resistant, but not waterproof. It has a layer of vinyl-like backing under the outermost layer (front pocket side) and I've carried my laptop in it during some pretty bad storms. No water inside ever.

Yes I would say it is water resistant but not water proof. I walked to class in the rain and my books did not get wet.

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.

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!

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!

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

Yes, water resistant. It has a vinyl type bottom and also the zippers have a small fabric flap on the inside. Works very well in most any environment, no problems and I'd recommend it. I didn't see any need to spray this bag with Scotch Guard Water Repellent as I have done with some others.

No, it is not water proof, but for short walks in the rain it should be able to keep your laptop dry. If you want a pack that is totally waterproof look into brands The North Face. Hope it helps!

It is not 100% waterproof and will not withstand splash mountain. I have all of my things in waterproof or almost water proof bags in the backpacks. They are very good backpacks for the price.

Yes this backpack should hold all those things well. Not much more than that though. Not sure if it is waterproof.

It has a clear plastic cover on top and the rest of it is made out of material similar to today's luggage. So I would say it is water resistant but not water proof.

I've used this bag every day for a few months now and it has been pretty water resistant. I can walk in the rain and not worry about the stuff inside getting wet.

i don't know if it's water "proof" but i would say that it is water resistant. It's a good heavy canvas bag.

I haven't tested whether any of the fabric is waterproof. The laptop compartment is made of the same outer material as the rest of the bag - if that helps.

Yes the Sony backpack is water resistant in itself. And it has a built in rain cover. All you need to do is unzip a panel and pull out a cover to make it rainproof.

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.

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...

Not waterproof, but the material is slick and does seem to be somewhat water resistant. Good backpack - happy with it.
