How waterproof is the bag?

It is water resistant not waterproof....i would definitely recommend getting a rain-cover for it.

No. I learned that one unintentionally. The regular size Kelty rain cover fits this bag.

This like the majority of others isn't made to be waterproof, the intent is weight savings. They have a rain cover available for that purpose.

It is not waterproof. I was in a downpour without a cover once. It held out for a bit but started getting wet inside. Buy a cover. Other than that the bag has held up for a couple of years and is holding up great.

When I tested the bag in my bathroom sink overnight, it was not waterproof. Sorry. I returned it.

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.

It seems some what water resistant. I haven't been caught in the rain with it as if yet though. It's toddler resistant if that says anything?! Wish I had a better answer for you... I do love the bag though, now I need a larger one for additional lenses and "stuff"...

The outside is canvas so it is water repellent to a point. The inside liner is nylon on the outside and a soft clothe on the inside. Throwing it in a lake or being stuck outside more than 10 minutes in a down pour could allow water in. I never trust anything that says water proof so I always bring individual plastic bags for camera, lens etc. if there is any chance of moisture. It also helps to bring a small soft towel. Have not been in any rain or water rides with this.Still, for the price it is an awesome bag.

I would not say waterproof as there are open pockets and a zip closure on top. However, I have been caught in the rain running to the car and did not have any water damage to items inside. Also, I do love this bag. I can carry my camera, extra lens, charger and content of my purse so I don't have to carry it separately. The long adjustable strap is great for cross body comfort and convenience. Hope this helped.

I've used this bag every day for a few months now and it has been pretty water resistant. I can walk in the rain and not worry about the stuff inside getting wet.

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 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.

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.

it is a mesh/nylon bag so it dries quickly if you do get it wet. I don't think we ever took the bag into the water. we just left it on the beach.

We have not used ours in the rain, but in researching it previously it does not sound like it is 100% waterproof. I think other users waterproofed their things inside the bag. We used the pad that was on the recommended list in between the car roof and the bag, did not damage the car/paint.

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.

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

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!!

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!
