I could see water getting inside the bag unless there is a roof of some sort above the bag.

Our bag is outside has been filled once since purchased, holds up great. Never leaked, used daily by 3-5 people. It is kept in the shade, but does get wet in the rain. Hope this helps.

Not sure, we keep ours in the garage..it might be ok because the material seems like it would hold up although I would definitely recommend maybe covering when it's going to rain just to preserve it.

I've had my bag outside in Florida humidity for a year now and no noticeable damage, but I keep it covered when not using it.

The rain stays out of it. I've had my bike outside. Then it got really hot here and the seat is still like how I left it before the rain. I'm not am avid rider though.

No leaking for me either. I always carry a tarp just in case though, and there are several ways to manipulate it to help keep back the rain, especially if you carry trekking poles too. A coat or to of the Scotchguard will help a lot, just like bruce said.

I have left mine in the rain with no problems. I put mine in our storage building for the winter, just to protect it from the elements. I suppose you could leave it outside, but I personally don't think that is the best care for your equipment.

Seems to be good. Rain stays out. But I haven't been in any serious downpour with it. Otherwise it's pretty sweet.

Very well. We live in the Atlanta area and get lots of rain. We use our truck to haul a lot of stuff and have really enjoyed the BakFlip. You will get a few drops around sometimes. In general, it's really pretty good. I'd say water resistant and almost water proof. We depend on it and it works great!

In my area we have had a lot of rain this summer. I have not had a chance to use to yet. I was planning to use it this coming Friday, but of course it is calling for rain.

If I walk in the rain with the bag for a while, it is not a problem at all. But if you soak it in water, I am sure it will leak somewhere. I am very happy with the bag, good quality.

A little but we've had some super strong rain storms. I'm surprised it wasn't worse. Also, I dry off the lid before opening. Otherwise you accidentally dump water in!

Light rain or heavy rain if short duration is not a problem. I camped out in rain for two days, when I got back on the bike, the Sigma BC 1009 didn't work until it dried out a couple of weeks later. It is working fine now ( a year later )

No. It's hard to keep things dry when it's raining hard but this box does a good job. You can see in the picture that the top has sides to it that cover the bottom section. It does pretty well at keeping the rain out. I am pleased with it myself.

It holds up surprising well. Last summer I was backpacking in the gorge (northern Oregon) and it rained for almost 24 hours straight. I was dry the whole time.

Although I wouldn't pour water on it directly, it is pretty resistant towards rain and sweat - and I ran a 10K race with this on a trail course during slightly muggy conditions. Just remember to dry it out once you're done running with it! For casual use there are no problems at all.

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 can't say what it would do in a pouring rain, or if it were completely soaked. But, I have this bag on my bike, and it rained a few times when I was out for my 17 mile ride yesterday. The outside of the bag was wet, but the water beaded up, and was easily wiped off. The contents inside stayed dry.

Somehow rain does get in through the back allowing things to get wet. Unfortunately, I have this experience not sure uf anyone else does.
