would documents inside stay dry if bag carried in a rainstorm?

According to the description of this case on Amazon, it appears to be water resistant. To me this seems to be similar to a water resistant coat or jacket that will keep you dry in a light rain but not a torrential downpour. I have an A7 16" laptop case which is constructed in a similar manner but which has a rubberized bottom. My Targus case is awesome. I feel confident you will be happy with yours, that it will protect your laptop or documents, but use a little caution in a torrential down pour. Hope this is helpfull.

definitely! this bag does well in regards to keeping external moisture due to wet-weather precipitation (rain, snow, etc).

They are water-resistant. In light rain/drizzle, your things will stay dry. However, if it's pouring out, chances are your things will get wet. I always wrap up papers or other things I don't want to get wet in plastic & then put it in the bags. I've used them during drizzle + downpours & I LOVE THEM!!! I always get complimented on them :-)

This bag is water proof. I used it on boating trips and all stayed dry inside

Depends what you mean by that, if you have a torrential downpour then no, but if a little bit of rain then yes. We also have the hardshell travel cases if you wants something seriously tough.

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

Rainproof:yes. Waterproof: I don't know. Overall, it depends on how long you are in the rain. If you are caught in the rain for about an hour to two hours then you have nothing to worry about. But if you are in the rain for more than 5 hours then of course you and almost everything in your bag might get wet

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!

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

The material of the bag is water resistant. I take mine out in the rain all the time. Never had a problem with my items getting wet. It's not waterproof. So if it ends up submerged in water your stuff will likely end up wet. But it can definitely withstand some heavy splashing. Just remember to keep the zipper closed!

Well Jack this bag is water proof. How ever I haven't fully tested that ability. For when I'm out day hicking and it rains I and my gear are under a rain poncho. Also just because a product say waterproof doesn't mean it stays that way forever.Take care of your gear and it will take care of you

No, because of the velcro opening, rain can get into the bag. It would not be good under heavy rain, light rain would be ok.

As the others have stated, light rain or passing through a sprinkler head, items inside should stay dry. If you know you may hit some rain on a long ride... A clear plastic disposable shower cap... They have elastic that will grip your bag, keep it dry in a downpour and can be shaken dry and stored in the tiniest of space. So now, get out there and ride, no matter what the weather.

The Bag is not made of waterproof material. It will slowly drain out but the process make take several days.If you are not going to have it very long and it might rain, cover it with a waterproof tarp.

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 would classify this bag as moderately water resistent. It will stand up to a brief rain shower 15 min or so. It is far from being waterproof.Steve

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.
