Is the stuff sack waterproof? If plan on having this attached to the outside of my pack do I need a different sack or trashbag to cover it?

Its not waterproof, so you may need a cover of some kind if you are out in the wet.

No, it's not waterproof. If you must keep it dry, wrap it in a water-proof garbage bag.

I would think it is not waterproof. Depending on how tightly you roll it up the end of the does not close tightly. I cannot roll it up as tightly as a man might so it really does not close tightly. If you were backpacking I would certainly cover it with plastic.

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.

The bag kept my items dry in a day long light drizzle but I have yet to be caught in a down pour. The outer most pocket does have a vinyl layer inside the pouch. However, the zippers do not have a cover flap over the zipper so I would probably list this as water resistant rather than water proof. The pack did adjust & carry well and I am 100% pleased with it thus far. Hope this 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.

I'd say it's water resistant, but not waterproof. That is why they include an orange rain cover, which is tucked under the bag. Overall, I'm happy with this backpack.

Carpe...I don't use the stuff sack for the poncho. I either fold it back up into the hat part of the poncho or I fold it in such a manner to fit on the bottom of my backpack. I use the sack that the poncho came in for my water filter. Bye the way, this is a great poncho. I hike a lot since I retired and what I like about it the most is when it starts to rain I pull it off the bottom of my pack and slip it on. Don't have to pull my pack off to get to it and it fits really well over me and my pack. Hope these ideas help. Just use the sack for something else.

This pack is not waterproof, but is water resistant. However, because it is a pack frame with bags, the bags can be removed and something like the Seal Line bag, which is waterproof, can be mounted comfortably.

No, not this one nor any other back pack I know of is water proof. Have bags used in wet conditons (boats) that are water proof but they are no back packs. Other then that this is a great, versatile and well made pack which I really enjoy.

Resistant yes , if want waterproof I would suggest Rain covers. The packs are made of a material that has a water proof coating on the inside but will probably leak at the seams and zippers in a downpour.

I would not consider this bag waterproof in any way..the divider has a "plastic" coating on the outside but is very on the top, the rest of the liner has a soft plushlike finish. I have never gotten this wet so have no idea of the outside. However I love the bag..while traveling in Europe last year I used the outside pocket for items that would normally be in my handbag (wallet in pants pocket)..it is very roomy... I have put my ipad between the liner and the back of the bag.. I carry one extra lens, mini tripod, extra battery...and whatever else gets shoved in...

It is not totally waterproof. Depending what you are putting into it, I would make sure to place items in plastic bags as well. I love mine, and am considering ordering another. Joan

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

Outside square bag is perm sewn on. Can't say with certainty if the small bag is waterproof, I read a review that mentioned one of the bags is waterproof but I can't speak to whether either actually is.

It is described as rainproof on both Amazon and ROLA's website. We used it on a camping trip last month and it was raining on the drive there and back. Everything in the ROLA bag was completely dry. It is very heavy duty and well-made. I think it will keep anything dry that's in it. I am very satisfied with this bag.

It is not 100% waterproof and will not withstand splash mountain. I have all of my things in waterproof or almost water proof bags in the backpacks. They are very good backpacks for the price.
