Is this bag water proof?

Please excuse me as I try to help you. This word is misused a lot at times. Can you go diving with it and keep items dry, most likely not. I have been caught in a few downpours of rain for extended amounts of time and my items inside were dry. So I would say the bag is water repellent to an extent. Waterproof meaning surrounded by water on every inch of the bag and not allowing water to penetrate, and I don't think it would pass that test. My bag kicks butt, I have abused, thrown, and almost wanted it to fall apart to justify trying something new out, but it won't give. Due to that I bought a smaller condor bag and molle gear.

No it is not, if only because it has drainage holes in the bottom in case of a broken water bladder which can allow water into the bag if sat in a puddle. However the outside does repel water, and it manages very well in heavy rain.

Thank you for your question. I don't think they do because they claim the item is water-proof. Are you having issues with water leaking in the bag? - Ellen ellen@jafrum.com

No it's not waterproof and some of it is mesh which is good because it allows wet fins to dry when inside the bag.

It is not water resistant. I used it on a two week vacation. Used it in light rain the bag was soaked. It's a decent bag but not for rugged use.

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 :-)

I don't think it is water proof. Back cover isn't sealed. If you need to use it outside in the rain, put it in a zip lock bag.

its not water proof, but you can carry a good reusable rain poncho and it can cover you and the bag aswell

Yep its completely waterproof. I dont know about snow because it doesn't snow here, but chucked it down with rain the first day I used and everything was fine :-) totally recommend this bag.

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.

Rach, It seems to be water resistant but not water proof. It began to rain on one of my hikes and everything was dry...it was a light rain, though so I'm not sure how much it could take. Sorry I couldn't be more help - it IS a great little bag, though!

I would not say that it is 100% water proof per say. This is because non-water proof cloth materials are also used to made the comfortable padding behind the bag and the zippers. Hope this helps :)

The outer bag is permanenently attached. It is water resistant. There is a waterproof pocket in the main bag.

The material is, but the bag itself has holes that water can get through. They are the silver circles on the picture.

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.

Well Jack this bag is water proof. How ever I haven't fully tested that ability. For when I'm out day hicking and it rains I and my gear are under a rain poncho. Also just because a product say waterproof doesn't mean it stays that way forever.Take care of your gear and it will take care of you

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.

It is not water-proof. I sheds water fairly well though. In my experience, unless you fork out the money for a true dry-bag, backpacks are never waterproof after about 30 minutes in the rain.
