How waterproof is this bag?

I put it under the shower faucet and let it soak for a few minutes, every thing in the bag was nice and dry.

I have no idea, but the seams look well sewn to me. However, the front pocket clearly has small openings in both sides of the zipper that would allow water to come in. It is more water resistant than waterproof I guess.

If you looking for waterproof this isn't for you. But water resistant it's great

This bag holds its own very well in the rain. I got caught in the rain about a week ago for about 40 minutes and nothing in my bag got wet.

It is not designed or made to be a waterproof bag, but it can definitely hold water outside without risking the electronics in inside and closed pockets. But again, it depends on how much waterproof you are looking for so it may not be for you.

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.

The bags themselves are waterproof, but I would suggest you review proper sandbagging techniques, with proper overlap. They will certainly keep water out, but you'll need to make sure they are laid correctly.

No,it's not waterproof. I keep mine in a large zip lok bag when backpacking here in the Pacific North West. Get's pretty wet around here and this seems to work out. A small dry bag is also a good option. Hope this helps.

I would not consider this bag waterproof in any way..the divider has a "plastic" coating on the outside but is very on the top, the rest of the liner has a soft plushlike finish. I have never gotten this wet so have no idea of the outside. However I love the bag..while traveling in Europe last year I used the outside pocket for items that would normally be in my handbag (wallet in pants pocket)..it is very roomy... I have put my ipad between the liner and the back of the bag.. I carry one extra lens, mini tripod, extra battery...and whatever else gets shoved in...

It's not water resistant, but you can rest it on damp ground without worrying that your contents will get wet. However, if there is actual standing water, the water will soak through the bag bottom.

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.

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.

As to raining on it or splashing on it, yes it is waterproof. As to submerging it under water, no, because it would leak at the zipper. It's not SEALED.

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

I don't know. I never had it exposed to the rain. I really like the bag, however, and it seems to be well made.

Yes the outside is waterproof, I've been caught inthe rain numberous occasions, and nothing inside ever got wet. It's a great bag, I love mine, hope this helps.

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.

No. The bag isn't exactly water proof, but I'm sure there is something you can coat it with to make it so.

I would not say waterproof as there are open pockets and a zip closure on top. However, I have been caught in the rain running to the car and did not have any water damage to items inside. Also, I do love this bag. I can carry my camera, extra lens, charger and content of my purse so I don't have to carry it separately. The long adjustable strap is great for cross body comfort and convenience. Hope this helped.

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

Yes the liner is waterproof but the flap doesn't quite cover all the opening as it tends to ruck out on the sides. That being said I've never had a problem with water getting in when I wear it in the rain and all other aspects of the bag are great.
