Is this pack water-proof?

I used it in west coast trail in vancouver island with no problem it was 72 km (almost 7 days)

I would say yes based on my personal experience with it. Eight (8) days of hard Elk hunting in Colorado this past November. The inner contents remained dry despite some sleet, rain, and a dusting of snow.

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.

No, not this one nor any other back pack I know of is water proof. Have bags used in wet conditons (boats) that are water proof but they are no back packs. Other then that this is a great, versatile and well made pack which I really enjoy.

Not water proof. It is water resistant. Lots of volume. Sturdy. Comfortable bearing of weight. Balanced. Air circulation in the back is adequate. Use a spray to enhance water resistance....Badlands Waterproof Spray.

Water resistant . But if it were to be submerged for more than a second, it would take on water.

I don't think so. I have only been seriously rained on once since having it and I keep a cover handy to cover my pack for those occasions ... pretty sure not waterproof but I can tell you it is an excellent pack and the frame is very sturdy. I use it for hiking camping so external frame is great. Have had it out on a least 8 trips now. Hope that helps.

It is not waterproof. However, I have had mine in the rain and it is more water resistant than a regular nylon pack. You can get a cheap raincover for it from REI or another outdoors store. I highly recommend this pack. It is great for backpacking and hunting. It is big enough that I usualy bring too much stuff with me, but it carries well.

No, but it is extremely resistant, so it might as well be. If you leave it in the rain or are in a torrential downpour you are obviously SOL, but for light to mild rain it is great. Overall I would highly recommend this pack, especially if you are the type of person that packs a rifle or axe around all the time and\or needs to tie additional gear to the pack.

This pack is not waterproof, but is water resistant. However, because it is a pack frame with bags, the bags can be removed and something like the Seal Line bag, which is waterproof, can be mounted comfortably.

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.

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...

Rach, It seems to be water resistant but not water proof. It began to rain on one of my hikes and everything was dry...it was a light rain, though so I'm not sure how much it could take. Sorry I couldn't be more help - it IS a great little bag, though!

I'd say it's water resistant, but not waterproof. That is why they include an orange rain cover, which is tucked under the bag. Overall, I'm happy with this backpack.

I am not sure about this, but I think it isn´t water-resistant. Nonetheless it is a very good backpack! I love mine..

No, they are water resistant. THey could handle a misting of sorts or the dampness from being in your backpack that has a pack cover, but not in direct rain or falling in water.

It's highly water resistant, if you are in a windy down pour things may get a little damp, if your looking for water proof day pack check out the Osprey Stratos it has a built-in rain cover that stows away in a little zipper compartment, Amazon sells the pack at a excellent price, I highly recommend it for wet conditions.

Yes, actually it is very water proof. I took it camping and it rained while we were away from the tent. We came back to a small stream running underneath the tent and nothing inside was wet. Very pleased with it.

Yes the bag is water resistant. It would not stand up to being submerged or left in the rain over a period of time but it's fine for spills or light wetness.

Unknown. Was given as a gift to someone else for 2012 survival bug out bag. Not sure if it has ever been out of doors yet. Unless stated as water-proof, I consider any pack as just water resistant.

No. I have my set in a large zip lock bag. But there is a protective case that goes over the guide 10 plus and that may make it Water proof, but I don't own the cover.

Gloria, i didint much care for this bag and did not get to use it in the rain before passing it along. Just didint care for it, but i dont think this bag is water proof and i wouldint trust it to be.

Water resistant I would say yes I wouldn't get the battery pack all to wet but as far as the rest of it. It has survived summers fight wild fires from getting fire retardant to rain to who knows what else spilt on it.

It's made of rip stop nylon so I'd say it's water resistant but not waterproof. I usually throw a ziplock bag or two in all of my bags just in case I get caught in rain.

I have not tried it in water. The material is waterproof but the whole bag looks more water resistant than immersible and water tight as there are zippers.

I would not say 'fully' water proof. I feel comfortable having if it is raining and I am not going to be out in it an extended amount of time. I will add though I am very paranoid about my gear getting wet so I might be overly cautious.
