Is it waterproof? Put it this way, I'm going to put things in this bag and storage it in a basement with leaking problem. Would I be okay?

I cant say much on this but I would say NO they are not leak proof or water proof the whole you suck the air out off I"m sure can get water in it, its plastic and I highly doubt its 100% proof.

It's really thick plastic, and I think you would be fine as long as you make sure the zipper is sealed. In your situation, I think the plastic covered tubs might be the safest bet. Good luck!

It is water resistant to some extent. If its like a heavy storm, you have a good 5 minutes until the insides of the bag get wet. However, if you like accidentally spilled water on the bag it should be fine.

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.

No, the bag is not waterproof. That being said it's a decent small bag and would work well for hauling tools down to the boat just don't set it in the water an I think you will be happy. If you really need something waterproof is suggest a more traditional tool box.

I doubt it's waterproof, it's an inexpensive bag. I wouldn't trust it in a thunderstorm

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.

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.

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.

It is not waterproof. Water would leak in around the zipper. It is water resistant for things like light/moderate rain or spills.

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.

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 would not consider it waterproof but definitely water resistant. It is made of quality nylon material that will prevent your stuff from getting wet in a rain. It is also well padded which helps with the water resistant qualities. Just try not to submerge the bag.

Yes the bag is water resistant. It would not stand up to being submerged or left in the rain over a period of time but it's fine for spills or light wetness.

The bag is not water-proof in the sense that you can submerse it in water. It can get heavily rained on, I have gotten it very very wet. The wires are well coated and the battery is located in an ideal position to avoid getting wet. It can handle lots of water, a heavy rainstorm, etc. The material is nice, the water beads off. I was in the rain around 30 minutes in heavy rain and only a bit of water was inside and nowhere near the battery. Also due to the coating of the battery and wires, even if it got wet, it would still work. The power switch is rubberized and not exposed, so it's water proof.Just avoid total water submersion and it will be fine. The bag is not water-proof in the sense that you can submerse it in water.

I would say that it would not hurt to put your contents in a plastic bag for extra added protection because I have not personally had my bag soaking wet like it will be when taken on a water ride. I have got the bag wet on a couple of occasions from pouring rain and it stayed dry.

I would say it is water resistant, but certainly not waterproof. It is zippered on three sides, and certainly water could enter on those sides. In a mist or light rain you'd probably be okay with the non-zippered side pointing up, but I'd still carry it in waterproof bag.

I just tested it by pouring a little bit water on it from my kitchen sink. The water flowed across it. Nevertheless, I don't consider this bag waterproof. If water spills on it accidentally, and u wipe it off quick, your laptop will be safe... I think there's vulnerability around the zipper. But I gotta say this: "It is a solid bag". I love mine
