How water resistant is the backpack?

Haven't had the chance to really test it out. Most of the time I'm in dry weather.

To be honest, I haven't tested it in the rain. I would hazard a guess and say that it will not be very waterproof. Certainly in the case of the upper compartment. Perhaps the inner area might remain dry in a light drizzle but in a downpour I would think not. As far as I can tell there is no rubber coating on the inner lining and thus in my opinion, this may not provide the protection that you need. I will be using plastic bags to protect my electronics. Having said that, I really like this bag. Hope that this helps.

The material of the bag is water resistant. I take mine out in the rain all the time. Never had a problem with my items getting wet. It's not waterproof. So if it ends up submerged in water your stuff will likely end up wet. But it can definitely withstand some heavy splashing. Just remember to keep the zipper closed!

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.

Im not sure if it's qualified as a water proof, but seems like it. I would feel safe to walk with this bag under rain. Definitely wouldn't swim with it :-)

Well, I live in the Netherland and it rains here quite often. I have never found my belongings in the bag wet after walking in the rain. So if you use this bagpack as a city bagpack you can walk in the rain freely. But and this is a big But. It is not a water resistance backpack for extreme weather conditions, for instance 12 hours of heavy rain.

It doesn't, but the pack material and construction make it water resistant.

I would classify this bag as moderately water resistent. It will stand up to a brief rain shower 15 min or so. It is far from being waterproof.Steve

Water-proof? No. Water-resistant? Probably. I've had this backpack for approx. 2 months, and have had zero issues commuting to work in the rain without an umbrella. My laptop/notebooks have always stayed dry in light to moderate rain, although I haven't tested it in heavy rain for long distances...and I don't plan on taking the risk, unless absolutely necessary.

I would say water resistant but not water proof. I always use a towel on the bottom just in case

It is definitely water /rain resistant, but I would hesitate to call anything waterproof that does not advertise as such. It is a fantastic backpack!

Although I have yet test that careacteristic I would say is very water resistant, at least to rain. The interior of every pocket/compartment is very well protected by some sort of plastic lining, even at the zippers.

It is not water resistant. I used it on a two week vacation. Used it in light rain the bag was soaked. It's a decent bag but not for rugged use.

This bag is water-resistant...not water-proof. A little rain wouldn't be a problem...but it couldn't keep your items inside dry if left in a heavy rain.

The bag appears to be water resistant and there is a map sleeve that allows you to protect a paper map or riding instructions. There is no large cover that would protect it from serious rain though. I suspect for most outings it will do fine. I really like the ability to remove it from the bike and use it as a shoulder bag. It is also large enough to carry a few small articles of clothing and snacks. Hope this helps. DT

I would say, the material seems to be pretty water resistant, we just haven't used it when it that wet)) There is a zipper under the bag cover, that makes it more secure. We really like it: comfortable, lots of room, inside pockets, flexible inside pads position. It is a good choice for a good price. I don't think it will get wet in wet environments, unless you take it under the fall with you)) It did great when we were at Yosemite Falls.

Not water resistant, but very water protective thick heavy material. The stuff on top may get a little damp from water seeping in through zipper. The contents will most likely stay dry until bag gets wiped down.
