I live in Seattle, will this hold up to a daily misting?

I think so--seems relatively water-resistant, though I doubt it will float...not suitable for kayaking business trips. :)

This is a very durable, quality bag. I can't say enough about it! I love mine & I am sure it will last for years.

I wouldn't want mine to get wet, but I'm pretty OCD. It is made of a material that isn't waterproof but I'm sure if it's just "misting" it would be fine

I live in Tucson--hot, somewhat humid--and keek the bar in the shower. It has held up well.

You should be fine, maybe add just a touch more water. Roughly the same amount of water will be used, the 15 second intervals of misting just have longer gaps between on the longer cycles. There does seem to be an inconsistency to the amount of water that gets used, but I feel like that has more to do with the amount of moisture in the air, than the length of the cycle. I run mine on the 7 hour cycle regularly, and I continues to mist the whole time, but uses approximately the same amount of water as when I run the one or three hour cycles.

im in California and its pretty dry at this time. id say a lite rain you'd be ok and i know there's some rain proffer you can get. that may help. but any thing heavier than the mist from your water hose you may want to up grade

Although I wouldn't pour water on it directly, it is pretty resistant towards rain and sweat - and I ran a 10K race with this on a trail course during slightly muggy conditions. Just remember to dry it out once you're done running with it! For casual use there are no problems at all.

Agree with the othe two posters, it will stand up to a light shower but definitely not steady rain. It is padded well so it would take a bit of water to soak all they way through. It is matte fabric, not the shiny stuff the repels rain better.

Yep, it should be just fine outside. Very easy to rinse off with water hose too. Just hang to dry.

I have some insulated bottles and have not seen them sweat, but I am in Seattle and it doesn't often get super hot here.

I live in Seattle... After one year of 365 usage no problems yet!! I love it!!

In Seattle where I live, I can see it rain one quarter of a mile from where I live while I receive no rain. Guess what that does to weather predictions. With irrigation caddy it is easy to set up a schedule and turn it off if you see it raining. Perhaps as a middle ground you could get a sensor to automatically shut off the system when it has or is rained.

I use distilled water to spray the inside cover every few days. It holds a nice 60 - 70 humidity..and I'm in the desert.

My house is 3,300 and it's is more than enough. I would say "yes" you will be fine. It may take and extra day to humidify, but the end result will be great.

You'll probably have to water it once a week. I had mine out on my deck that was covered in SC. I had to water it every few days.

Ours has been outdoors for a few years but it is underneath an overhang of our house. It faces east so it gets a lot of sun and has gotten wet occasionally with storms and fog. So far, the finish has held up beautifully and it looks just like the day we got it.

Yes, the cover works great in wet weather. We used it last year in the Seattle area and were pleased the wood stayed dry. Also the cover is very durable and should last many years

I wouldn't call it "water resistant" - I'm sure a light mist might not hurt it but I wouldn't expose it to repeated water or extreme sun.

Mine is. Has survived a daily monsoonal downpour (I live in Malaysia) no problem. But it's still very new...
