The zipper is a glorified ziplock slider. It's on the outside of the curtain, so it stays pretty dry inside regardless. I dont see any way to prevent breakage. My bigger concern was that my speakers stopped working after a month.

The zipper is a vinyl contraption that comes off the track rather easily. But its not too bad to put back on. Honestly, you probably don't need to worry about water getting in because it zips in the back and is always bone dry. Also Lyndon B. Johnson had a weird head.

The zipper is plastic, sort of like a zip-lock bag. It is on the outside of the curtain with a clear plastic 'window' to view your device through. Even if you don't zip it closed, water would have to go over the top and run down the outside to get near the pouch. Even if the zipper broke it would be unlikely that water would get into the pouch.

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.

The zipper is made of plastic. It works effortlessly and appears to be of solid construction. The bag itself is of heavy construction and I would recommend its purchase.

Hi, we haven't had a problem with zipper, almost a year since my wife bought it. Of course we only put the necessary stuff (laptop 15.6 inch, tablet, cables, keys, agenda, pencils), nothing that could inflate the product and cause a zipper break. We are satisfied with it, and it´s comfortable for your back. I Hope this helps.

After the first washing and air drying it did not appear that the cover shrank. Yet when we put the insert in the zipper failed. It would zip just so far so I used a safety pin across the zipper to stop it from going off track. It seems that their is a problem with the zipper. I would like to look into getting a replacement as well. Have you contacted anyone to see if replacement of the cover is viable?

Mine also leaks. I keep it upside down off the ground about 12" with the zipper down. At least it keeps the bugs out. I too am not happy as it was advertised as waterproof.

According to the manufacturer it is made with waterproof materials. According to other reviews it is not made for super cold weather. Thank you!

Don't know if it is waterproof or not, I use it as a travel bag in my suitcase. I am assuming because of the zipper, once that is wet it would probably leak.

I'd say that even though it is made from coated waterproof cordura it would leak around the zipper and other stitch points. Try to keep it under some kind of rain cover.

I would call it water resistant. The hard shell material is definitely waterproof, however the zipper would allow water in if the case was submerged or exposed to rain for a long period of time.

It says waterproof in the description. The kind of plastic leads me to believe it's waterproof. I just went upstairs and poured a puddle on some slack material and let it sit a minute. Nothing happened, just sponged it off and it never went through. As with any cover bought anywhere, at some point in time they will become brittle and split. If you check it once a year you should be okay. This one is a little thicker than past ones I've bought. Mine is still in great shape.

The shell is definitely waterproof. I'm not sure about the zipper. I wouldn't submerge the case in water, but I think it would be ok in light rain.

Actually the zipper is well made. The best I can tell is that the teeth are made from a very hard plastic and is stitched in surrounded by a canvas like material. The stroller itself is well constructed and easy and quick to assemble. I have had this stroller for some time now and nothing has failed on it. I am very pleased with the product overall. Especially for the price. And my dogs love it! I hope this answers your question.

The material of the bag is water resistant. I take mine out in the rain all the time. Never had a problem with my items getting wet. It's not waterproof. So if it ends up submerged in water your stuff will likely end up wet. But it can definitely withstand some heavy splashing. Just remember to keep the zipper closed!

It is both water proof and water resistant. Not really sure what the material is made of but it is very heavy and thick. It is very weather resistant. I hope this helps.

I've used mine almost every day since receiving it, almost three months ago, and have not had any problems. I love it! Perhaps there is a manufacturing flaw with your zipper.

I don't think it would offer "waterproof" protection if you dropped it in the river.... but as for keeping the rain off and normal weather I think it does very well. Again, I have not tested this, but I assume water would make it through the zipper if you were scuba diving or walking in a torrential rain storm, but I have carried mine, tucked under my arm in all sorts of wet weather and never had an issue.
