2 questions folks- is this bag waterproof?- is the rain cover the stiff leathery type?

Haven't experienced the bag in the rain, but I would say it is likely waterproof. Very sturdy and stays clean.The rain cover is not the stiff leathery type.Hope this helps.

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.

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"...

Good question since I was carrying it in the rain today. The large compartment closeset to your back has a different material on the inside that would resist water pretty well except in drenching conditions. The outer material of the pack is a tough, but not waterproof, denier material. It get's damp with exposure to rain but I haven't had it soak through yet. If you're concerned about getting contents wet I'd recommend ziploc bags or small / medium sil nylon stuff sacks for contents.

I don't know. I never had it exposed to the rain. I really like the bag, however, and it seems to be well made.

I Just used it today under rain. Just perfect. Of course the zips are not proof. But in general is the best bag I own. MAURO

yes, its water resistant, i had it soaked in the rain and inside was pretty dry. I don't know about submerging the bag though...

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.

Wouldn't say it is waterproof, it's more water resistant. I haven't had it in the rain for long periods but did accidentally spill water on it, the contents got damp. Hope the info was helpful!

It has a clear plastic cover on the top for a cue sheet. That would be protective. On the whole it looks pretty rain resistant but 100%? Not sure. I love the bag, however. Good luck.

Yes, there is a zipper. I have used it in the rain and would consider it waterproof. I've had it for a few years now and have brought it on many work functions and is still in great condition. Very versatile and high quality bag, would highly recommend.

The exterior fabric is nicely coated nylon, the interior fabric (compartment divider, inside of the pockets) is not. Zippers and seams are not waterproof, but there is a rain flap on the main zip. So a ligth rain should be no problem but a deluge or a submersion will see water penetrate the inside. Same as most quality packs. I keep a couple of disposable shopping bags in the bottom in case I get caught out in a bad rain unexpectedly, and if I'll be boating or expect submersion I use appropriate waterproof containers inside where needed. "Be Prepared".

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.

It doesn't come with a rain cover, but it does have a water proof bag inside of the smaller, top bag. However, it's quite waterproof on it's own. We road in the rain for several hours and our luggage did not get soaked.

It is not water-proof. I sheds water fairly well though. In my experience, unless you fork out the money for a true dry-bag, backpacks are never waterproof after about 30 minutes in the rain.

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 doubt it's waterproof, it's an inexpensive bag. I wouldn't trust it in a thunderstorm
