Wondering how "water resistant" it really is. Anyone have experience in heavy rain, wet ground, or a dunking?

Unknown. Was given as a gift to someone else for 2012 survival bug out bag. Not sure if it has ever been out of doors yet. Unless stated as water-proof, I consider any pack as just water resistant.

The inside of the nylon material is coated. The zippers would be my only concern because they are pretty big, but they are also YKK, if my memory serves me right.

Depending on how long it was out. Mine was left out for two days in the heavy rain and it was soaked, but before that I had had it out in medium rain and it fairer quite nicely, the zippers are amazing to say the least. They hold against water very nicely, the fabric is OK, in medium rain it beads up for about a half hour and after that it starts to soak. I bought some waterproofer from big 5 and it works like a charm with my bag. I highly recommend this bag!!

I have a polyester raincoat with a bonded PVC coating on the inside, with sealed seams - I assume like this. It was issued 50 years ago and it's still rain proof - not water resistant. If this back pack isn't rainproof (not submersible) - the designers ought to be taken out and drowned or at least water boarded

I did a few tests on it and it does look like its water resistance. I put my laptop in it and ran water from a faucet. I have been in pretty heavy rain with it, never longer than about 15 seconds, and it never got wet. Hope this helps!

No, you can drop it or even throw it and it might even be OK for a quick dunk, but it's not waterproof.

Its pretty solid....however, ive noticed recently that the rim is now bouncing up and down when shooting. Maybe someone may have tried to dunk on it during the night? Its definitely nicer than your everyday hoop that you see outside someones garage/sidewalk. The wind doesn't blow it down either if you fill it with sand. We unfortunately have water in the drum. The water is still doing it's job though. The toughest thing was putting the damn thing together. Definitely a 2-3 person job. I hope this answers your question.

I've used this on my bike in light rain conditions and everything inside, including my phone, stayed dry. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would say this is water "resistant," just not water "proof."

I have used it in a driving rainstorm for more than 6 hours with no issue so I would have to say yes it is water resistant

Resistant, absolutely. I've spent many rides in the rain with this decide. I would not recommend submerging it in water for any reason, however. It is not waterproof.

It's a heavy canvas material, so not water resistant. But it's built like a tank, I'd definitely recommend it but not suggest leaving it out in the elements.

i can't really say if it's water proof because I've never immersed it in anything wet. It's been dropped many times though and has come through unbroken and with no operating issues.

Not water resistant at all if it's left outside. Perhaps can withstand a light rain moving from one place to another but that's it. I think you could help it a little with water proofer like what you use on tents, shoes, etc but that's just for a light protection.

When I first got it I tested the water resistance and yes it worked to keep water out but the problem is it is very fragile so if you drop it once...chances are it won't be water proof anymore

I have not submerged it completely...but I have put it through everything short of that: 1) In the shower - mostly soaked the entire unit countless times.2) By the pool (with my kids) - it got splashed, bumped, fell off of benches onto concrete.3) Can of soda exploded onto it (overheated in a truck cab) - I was able to wash it off under a weak stream of water, no marks left.4) BURNING MAN - this thing survived a week in the Black Rock Desert and managed to bump out very high-quality tunes all day long in the playa dust.Overall, I'm a VERY happy customer.

I have dropped mine in water several times, once in a filled sink, and it was absolutely fine . . . BUT I did not leave it for very long time. I would say that it is very water resistant.

I have not had any issues with that. My kids play on their basketball courts everyday the weather permits. They love it. They use the court at 10 foot level and also drop it down to dunk on it. It's been great so far.

Sorry to say that the case is not waterproof or resistant by any means. Yes I have dropped it a few times in the rain accidentally because of my kids, and sustained no damage, but I quickly opened the case and phone to dry it out. For the price, it's a great case.

Only used mine for a couple of weeks as it was replaced by a shed. It did rain during that time and my belief is that is water resistant but not entirely waterproof.

Well, here we arrive at the classic discussion of water resistant vs. waterproof. I can tell you that I would consider this waterproof. This past fall we used this sunshade at our son's football game. Just after we got the canopy and sunshade up a pretty heavy rain started and dumped for more than an hour. The shade didn't leak at all during that hour and kept us dry and warm during the downpour. Can't speak to how it would perform for more than an hour, but I was impressed with how dry it was during the heavy rain for that time frame.
