is this backpack water resistant?

Its about as water resistant as you can expect from a good backpack. Mine gets hit by small spray when travelling from the bank to the ship via a small craft. Has moderate water on it, no serious water amount, and my contents are still fine and dry. Hope it helps.

My son stands in the rain at School Bus stops (after walking a block to get to it) and has never reported his papers getting wet. However, I assume there is a limit to how much rain it can take, but don't know what that limit is.

Will handle moderate outside for about 2-3 mins. It is made of absorbent padded material to protect contents, so would get waterlogged. Check out waterproof outer covers for backpacks. Literally like a waterproof macs to cover the entire back pack whilst on your back. eg Bluefield &#x2592; Black nylon backpack rain cover for hiking camping traveling (Size: S) or similar

i don't know if it's water "proof" but i would say that it is water resistant. It's a good heavy canvas bag.

I would not say it is rainproof. Rain resistant is more like it: I have been out with this bag in sudden showers, and nothing inside has gotten wet. However, I don't think it would fare as well in a very rainy environment or during a more lengthy downpour. Great bag, though!

Its not built to be water proof. It is slightly resistant to water, especially if you scotch guard the bag before first use. The fabric seems to be quite resilient to wear and tear. I have used mine for almost a year now and no wear marks or holes are evident. Hope this helps.

Yes, water resistant. It has a vinyl type bottom and also the zippers have a small fabric flap on the inside. Works very well in most any environment, no problems and I'd recommend it. I didn't see any need to spray this bag with Scotch Guard Water Repellent as I have done with some others.

The bag is water resistant for a rain shower. However, if you will traveling in water I would buy a better case for the tent as this one is just a drawstring closure. Hope this helps.

It has a clear plastic cover on top and the rest of it is made out of material similar to today's luggage. So I would say it is water resistant but not water proof.

Great backpack. Carrys tons of gear. Highly recommend. As far as water resistance I am not sure. Also bear in mind there are many modern spray coatings you can buy that protect the fabric from water penetration. I would say if the bag was treated with waterproofing it should eliminate water leaching through the fabric. The nylon zippers could be the only vulnerable consideration. But if they were sprayed with protectant too my bet is the penetration through the zippers would very slight.

It is water resistant but not water proof. So I would say the answer to your question is no.

No this backpack is not waterproof or resistant...I'd recommend keeping a poncho handy inside the bag...

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.

It is water proof to a degree. If you submerge the pack, contents will get wet unless they're in sealed water proof bags which are available through out door and hiking stores.

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.

The material is similar to backpacks and briefcases. I would guess it's water resistant, but not waterproof.

No, it is not water proof, but for short walks in the rain it should be able to keep your laptop dry. If you want a pack that is totally waterproof look into brands The North Face. Hope it helps!

I haven't tested whether any of the fabric is waterproof. The laptop compartment is made of the same outer material as the rest of the bag - if that helps.

That pack is not fully water proof, but for short walks in the rain it should be able to keep your laptop dry. If you want a pack that is totally waterproof look into Swiss Gear model TG14HS or brands like: Orca, The North Face, and OverBoard.
