Is it waterproof? What's the difference with Thule EnRoute Blur Daypack? (I need it for rainy weather)

I would say is it rain proof. The zippers are sealed well and outside material repels water. You would not want to dunk underwater, but for rain should work ok. I don't know about the Blur...

Not recommended for swimming with. Doing well on a rain. I was on motorcycle with him on my back, my MSI stayed dry together with rest of the things in it. And it was raining fine.

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.

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.

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.

No, My computer and papers got wet in the rain although I carried it on my back during the rain because I was concerned about taking it through puddles. I'm not sure how it does with puddles, but it is just like any other back pack in the rain. If it soaks your clothes, it will soak your pack and everything in it. I used it for about 6 weeks until the wheels fell off (I had two different backpacks for about 3 weeks each, so its a design flaw, not a defect). It is spacious so you could just put your things in garbage bags to keep them dry

In my experience, if you are caught in a little bit of rain, the bag will keep things dry for a few minutes while you get to your car or a building. It is not waterproof, and I would not bet my camera on it in a downpour. I do a lot of shooting in wet and dirty conditions (car races), and here's how I solve this: I keep my waterproof rain jacket in the velcro straps on the front of the bag or hung from it on a carabiner. If it rains, I put the XXL jacket over the bag and myself. This allows me to use the bag, and even move it around from front to back under the jacket, while keeping the water off. Great bag, somewhat water resistant, but not waterproof. Hope that helps!

I have not used this pack in strong rain so I am not sure. If I lived in a rainy environment I would apply some aftermarket waterproofing like nikwax or any other performance BDR spray. Especially if I were going to carry my laptop.

I havent had it out in anything torrential, but it has been perfectly waterproof in everyday rainstorm. *IF* you'll be riding a bike in the wet, the top flap only protects from above and water spraying upward will get into the main compartment. I'm pretty sure I could jump into a lake and the computer would never get wet though...

Coming back from our vacation we hit a rain storm in Indiana. It was bad enough that visibility was low and most people pulled over to the shoulder. We continued on, as we had already been in the car far too long. The bag is definitely waterproof. I put a padlock on the zipper, it is pretty solid, and that prevented the bag from being opened while we were away from it. I wouldn't suggest leaving the bag on the roof overnight, outside, as someone could cut the straps if they really wanted to take it.

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!

definitely not waterproof - I did find a dry bag that fits perfectly but haven't had an opportunity to work with it yet. with my health and age it's kind of like a hurricane bug out bag for me. hope this has been some help. good luck.

This backpack is not impermeable... It will be ok to protect it if starts to rain and you arrive fast to a dry place.

I feel that this is a great backpacking/stealth camping tent. The tent is water resistant, but not water proof. Most rain will just run down the side of the tent to the ground, but if there is any areas where it can pool, then that will seep in. It is best to use this with a tarp or under a good tree. The bugscreen entrance is great for star gazing, and the walls are shear enough that you can see things approaching from all around you in the moonlight. If you are over 6'4" i'd recommend the one from Texsport, its 6 inches longer and is both camo and more waterproof, but not as resilient as this one.

So far it has been very good at that, i live in the NW and there is no rain cover. I have used a lot of packs as a guide,military and Le it is a good one.

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.

I didn't find it very waterproof, it is a really fun tent for daytime use in fairly good weather, but not for the rain!

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.

Please excuse me as I try to help you. This word is misused a lot at times. Can you go diving with it and keep items dry, most likely not. I have been caught in a few downpours of rain for extended amounts of time and my items inside were dry. So I would say the bag is water repellent to an extent. Waterproof meaning surrounded by water on every inch of the bag and not allowing water to penetrate, and I don't think it would pass that test. My bag kicks butt, I have abused, thrown, and almost wanted it to fall apart to justify trying something new out, but it won't give. Due to that I bought a smaller condor bag and molle gear.
