Is this pack waterproof/resistant?

No this backpack is not waterproof or resistant...I'd recommend keeping a poncho handy inside the bag...

The pack is nylon fabric, and is water resistant. Doesn't have a waterproof backing on the material. I've had mine in the rain a few times for 5-10 minutes and not had anything get wet inside.

I'd say it's water resistant, but not waterproof. That is why they include an orange rain cover, which is tucked under the bag. Overall, I'm happy with this backpack.

Hi Francisco. I can't answer for sure, because I haven't had it out in weather yet, but I would say no, since no packs, with the exception of those designed for snorkeling, etc., are "waterproof". There is a coating inside, and I assume that it helps make the pack water resistant, but a good rain would definitely soak it, as it would most packs.If you need waterproof, carry a garbage bag, or pack cover, like most backpackers do. Obviously, this pack wasn't designed to withstand continuous exposure to extreme conditions.

One other thought, Ron -- the top of the pack lips over the zipper and completely covers it, then latches, as I mentioned below. In my opinion, covering the zipper with this part of the pack would make it even more water resistant.

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.

I do not see where it says "waterproof" it is water resistant however. I hope this helps.

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 have used it in a driving rainstorm for more than 6 hours with no issue so I would have to say yes it is water resistant

It is definitely water /rain resistant, but I would hesitate to call anything waterproof that does not advertise as such. It is a fantastic backpack!

My personal experience is that the backpack will hold up under a mild wetting, but if you're going to try to walk 5-10 minutes in a downpour, spray on some waterproofing material or you are going to be rather upset.

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"...

Although it's well made, I doubt that it's "waterproof". I'd say "water resistant".

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.

It is water resistant but not water proof. So I would say the answer to your question is no.

It's made of rip stop nylon so I'd say it's water resistant but not waterproof. I usually throw a ziplock bag or two in all of my bags just in case I get caught in rain.

No, they are water resistant. THey could handle a misting of sorts or the dampness from being in your backpack that has a pack cover, but not in direct rain or falling in water.

This pack is not waterproof, but is water resistant. However, because it is a pack frame with bags, the bags can be removed and something like the Seal Line bag, which is waterproof, can be mounted comfortably.
