Is this waterproof? If not what would be a similarly priced good alternative?

It has a water rating of 5 ATM, which is equivalent to what we called 50 meter water resistance a decade or two ago. So while I wouldn't take this scuba diving or wakeboarding, it will be just fine in the rain.

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.

It is waterproof . My husband also sprayed a water repellant fabric spray on it too, for good measure.

I would not describe it as waterproof, but more water resistant. It would probably do well if it was splashed with water, but not sure about heavy soaking.

It is not "waterproof" - the manufacturer calls it "water resistant". It does come with a clear plastic (vinyl) rain cover for use outdoors.

No, I think it isn't, besides it isn't advertised as waterproof. However, the material will keep your stuff dry for a while if under the rain.

We don't think it's waterproof, but it might be water resistant. We've never had it around water as we use it to carry geocache supplies in it and it stays in the car most of the time. I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. He says he would definitely recommend it depending on what you are using it for. It can get heavy depending on what you have in it.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

Yes, I found that it is waterproof. I used it during a very rainy weekend and it was great.

I wouldn't put it in water. It is an inexpensive little item that is just bare bones and doesn't look waterproof to me.

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

Waterproof? That I'm not sure but I don't think so? You can definitely try and email the seller, they usually respond pretty quick

I would not call it waterproof. Mine has been camping in the rain and it survived quite well, but I would be wary of using it in really wet conditions.

You're welcome. Try to look for a bag that is advertised to be waterproof, else wise you may not be able to make claims in case the product doesn't satisfy you for that reason. Best of lucks!

It may state that it is waterproof, but I would not trust it to be so. I would not recommend keeping this safe outdoors.

I would say it is water resistant for use in the rain, but I would not use it underwater. I don't recall anything mentioned in the packaging material saying it was for use underwater or being waterproof.

I've had it for quite some time now but have never tried to see if it was waterproof. It looks very promising though and I'm sure that it is because there are rubber seals throughout the product.
