how would you rate this for protection from rain?

The walls are mesh so it doesn't keep out a heavy rain but very nice tent. I am very pleased with it.

IT's all screen and light weight so I'd consider it light use for rain... I love it for shade. I'm in California and use it at swim meets for sun shade and hanging by pool meets. Perfect for that. Would be good for camping for a place to eat or relax in bug free... I really love how quick it is to set up. takes just a few minutes. Well constructed.

We don't use it in the rain, just on the beach for sun protection, however, it is a nice big umbrella and should do the job just fine!

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

It should handle light rain ok. Super heavy, not so sure, but its a canvas case and would deal ok with getting a little wet.

Although I have not had mine out in the rain, I would suspect that this bag would provide a good amount of protection. It has a quality zipper an nylon which repels water. Overall I wouldnt be afraid of having my tablet or laptop out in the elements with this bag however if it was pouring down I think I would trow in a big ziplock for added protection.

It does pretty good unless it is fully exposed to heavy rain. I have it on the patio where it only gets partial exposure.

I haven't worn it in the rain but it says it repels water. The feel of the material on the outside would also lead me to believe that it would be rainproof

I don't believe it would withstand the rain or wind. It is very light weight.

It definitely keeps the rain out. I put a small board on it incase the wind might blow it off !

We've owned our for a few months now... never has rain come through the fabric... it beads-up and rolls down. I've not had it open in a really heavy rain because of the accompanying winds that come with it. Also, I've noted that a slightly steeper angle would be better for ours. Closer to flat can result in a little bit of pooling which I think ultimately would cause some dripping. But, for the price it has very much exceeded my expectations.

Hi, As for protection for the camera, yes, as long as you have it all snapped up and covering the camera I would say it would do a good job of protecting from rain. If you were to turn a garden hose on it maybe not so much, there are openings where the two halves meet and where the camera straps have space to exit and flowing water could enter at those places. And keep in mind that this is a leather case and as such exposure to water isn't it's strongest suit. If you think rain/water will be a regular encounter you would be better off with some synthetic material but for the casual, unexpected encounter it is more than adequate. Hope this helps.

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

Will protect from probably light rain for a few minutes maybe. But for sure not water proof.

I would say more water-resistant. It is pretty thin material and great protection from the sun, but would say in a heavy rain, it probably would get soaked.

Its good for light rain and no more. I wouldn't take it in heavy rain, or out in the water unless you just want to kill it. I take a little bag with me (inside its storage compartment) to cover it if it starts to rain more than a drizzle.

I looks like it would resist a light rain. The switch on the side would probably be the first infiltration point. I've used mine in some questionable weather and either I covered it with gaffer tape or stuck it in a sandwich bag.

Agree with the othe two posters, it will stand up to a light shower but definitely not steady rain. It is padded well so it would take a bit of water to soak all they way through. It is matte fabric, not the shiny stuff the repels rain better.
