Is this bag water resistant? I'm not looking for totally water proof, but at least somewhat resistant.

While using this backpack outdoors, during a drizzling rain, I simply stopped and unzipped the bottom of the bag, pulled out the provided rain cover, slipped it over the backpack and it totally protected the backpack and contents from being wet. It was easy and quick to apply. Nothing inside the backpack was even slightly damp. I love this bag and the soft feel of the fabric. It wasn't a hassle at all to put the enclosed rain protector to use!

It's a canvas bag, I walked around disney in light rain with no issues. Under this bag, is a zippered pocket, in the pocket it has an attached outer lining that encloses around whole bag. So in heavy rains, you will never be caught short.Hope that helps

I have only used mine in dryer climates, but it is a sturdy canvas. I would not expect it to prevent water from seeping through in a heavy downpour, but in misty or slightly rainy weather, it should be fine. I'm sure there are products out there to make it even more water resistant if you are often in inclement weather.

Absolutely since it has a plastic cover u put over the entire bag ...the plastic cover is stored securely on the inside bottom of the bag....took the bag with me to Peru and Vietnam and Cambodia which I visited in the last couple of months....it kept everything amazingly dry while caught in a heavy down pour...I can only say good things about this bag...love the look...live the size...love the color...good luck!

The canvas is heavy enough to make it resist spills. I haven't had it out in the rain. So prolonged use in wet situations is not known.

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"...

It probably depends on how much water you are talking about. The camera portion zips shut. The Canvas is strong and would probably be resistant, but not waterproof. The top portion might be a little more vulnerable. It protected my stuff in heavy winds and sandy dust. If I was hiking in heavy rains, I would probably carry the camera in an additional water-tight bag just in case, but loved this on long hikes with a lot of gear!

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 :-)

No, it does not appear to be water resistant. I would put it in a zip-lock bag for extra protection if you plan on traveling in a wet area.

It's synthetic, so when it gets dam, it does dry quickly. If you're looking for water resistance, I'd recommend pairing the bag with some type of lightweight bivy.

That is a difficult question to answer. The mesh part in the front where the ball or shoes may go would not be water resistant as well as the one side pocket that has mesh/netting. Water would seep into those areas. There is an enclosed inside pocket that makes up the bulk of the bag but I honestly do not think it is water resistant. I think that water could possibly seep through.

No, not waterproof, but t you would be hard pressed to find a bag similar to this that is waterproof. The 600-Denier Poly/Canvas does a good job at holding out any water.

I believe it is water resistant. To be waterproof the material would need to be a plastic/vinyl material. It is a very good water resistant bag as the zippers are enclosed under a flap.

Its about as water resistant as you can expect from a good backpack. Mine gets hit by small spray when travelling from the bank to the ship via a small craft. Has moderate water on it, no serious water amount, and my contents are still fine and dry. Hope it helps.

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.

No, I don't think so. If you want water proof, you need to have the bag you put this in be waterproof.

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

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.

I would say, the material seems to be pretty water resistant, we just haven't used it when it that wet)) There is a zipper under the bag cover, that makes it more secure. We really like it: comfortable, lots of room, inside pockets, flexible inside pads position. It is a good choice for a good price. I don't think it will get wet in wet environments, unless you take it under the fall with you)) It did great when we were at Yosemite Falls.

I own one and No, it is not water resistant. It is a great piece of clothing for airline travel as it doesn't count as a carry-on; at least, not yet.

I would classify this bag as moderately water resistent. It will stand up to a brief rain shower 15 min or so. It is far from being waterproof.Steve

No, the bag is not fully waterproof. It is also not at all dustproof, and not very protective of your equipment. It holds a lot and is comfortable and easy to organize, but is not really the best for equipment that is going to be in very wet or dusty conditions.
