Is this backpack waterproof?

Pretty much. I was never in a complete downpour, but it did stand the rain..

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...

This is all I can tell you, I carried my S100 in the rain (heavy but not close to torrential) for 15 minutes. I was using an umbrella but it was not big enough to cover the entire backup. The flap for the main compartment was wet but the underside of it was dry. A good indication that it is water resistant. However, the bottom of my documents stored in the main compartment was wet because rain sipped through the zipper of the iPad case. The rain water then traveled from the iPad case to the main compartment. Poor, poor design. Very disappointing.

The computer case is, but the other compartments are not. It is very good if you want to protect a laptop 15 inch MacBook, but kind of heavy. We'll made but not the best design for my purposes, so only using it coming and going on boats with nothing of value in ither compartments.

I don't think the backpack as a whole is...but the actual Pelican case "compartments" are.

I don't think so. I have only been seriously rained on once since having it and I keep a cover handy to cover my pack for those occasions ... pretty sure not waterproof but I can tell you it is an excellent pack and the frame is very sturdy. I use it for hiking camping so external frame is great. Have had it out on a least 8 trips now. Hope that helps.

No it is not water proof. You could put it in a zip lock bag to protect it.

No this bag is not waterproof. The seams have a small strip of durable fabric in the stitching for strength and there is a fabric zipper so it isn't waterproof. Because it is mostly vinyl, you could call it "splash resistant" but that's as far as I'd go.

I have not had mine out where it can get a ton of rain so it's been fine, but I'm sure it's probably not waterproof. It's a very simple design, plastic back has a lip that pulls away from the rock, revealing the compartment.

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.

I wouldn't say water proof, it's proved rather durable and water resistant to walking through the rain. I've had it in some down poor's and the items inside stayed dry. Just be sure and dry it out thoroughly before putting it away.

As waterproof as any other nylon backpack. If you are in a torrential rainstorm then I think it will eventually leak. It's a great backpack with unbelievable reinforcement features.

no it is not water proof it has little holes all around but that allows the bag to breath.

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 have not tried it in water. The material is waterproof but the whole bag looks more water resistant than immersible and water tight as there are zippers.

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.

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 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.

It is not waterproof. However, I have had mine in the rain and it is more water resistant than a regular nylon pack. You can get a cheap raincover for it from REI or another outdoors store. I highly recommend this pack. It is great for backpacking and hunting. It is big enough that I usualy bring too much stuff with me, but it carries well.

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).

Its not built to be water proof. It is slightly resistant to water, especially if you scotch guard the bag before first use. The fabric seems to be quite resilient to wear and tear. I have used mine for almost a year now and no wear marks or holes are evident. Hope this helps.
