Is this really waterproof? Could I use it on a boat, or drop it in the water?

I have no idea, I just used it in the Bahamas to carry some light stuff. It does not seem to be waterproof. but I don't think getting it damp will hurt it.

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 have not tested whether the material is waterproof. The knapsack is not like a dry sac that you fold over.

They may be a tiny bit water resistant but they're not totally waterproof. They are pretty cheaply made to be honest. They reason I bought it was because I was backpacking across Europe and I liked the idea of being able to fit another bag in my one bag I brought just in case I needed it. It was ripped after only a couple times using it. I think there is something better out there for sure.

I've never dropped it in water or even had it in a heavy downpour. It does resist minor showers.

It is not waterproof as shipped. To be sure, I would use a product like Scotch Guard to provide better water resistance. I also would not drop it in water. I love mine as I keep it in the storage space of my scooter, however, getting it wet is not good.

I wouldnt try; this is rip stop nylon; it will not wilt in a soft rain; otherwise, buy a tarp

Hi there I would call it highly water-RESISTANT not necessarily waterproof. It does meet the IP67 waterproofing standard at level 5:Water jets Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutesWater volume: 12.5 litres per minutePressure: 30 kPa at distance of 3 m....So for most normal use by recreational boaters on the water, you should be fine.Cheers,ScottMaple Leaf GPS

I would say it is water resistant for use in the rain, but I would not use it underwater. I don't recall anything mentioned in the packaging material saying it was for use underwater or being waterproof.

I have not tried it, but it is sealed with o rings, so it should be water proof to a point. i'm sure it was not made to use under water.

Jordan, although this case is not waterproof I was also thinking about using it in my Kayak. Most decent GPS/Fish finders carry atleast an IPx7 rating basically what this means is that it will withstand incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. So IMHO I think you would be fine using this, if the boat flips make sure it comes out of the water ASAP and dry it off. Shouldn't be a problem.

Would not recommend in open air in the elements when not in use (i.e., rain, etc) as there is a motor/exhaust on the side (top if cooler is on its side like the photo I see while writing this). Also if boat is in ocean/salt water expect corrosion over time on the internal electronics. We use ours in car / in hotel rooms.

Semi waterproof. I've dropped it in the snow and on the ice. No damage occured . I wouldn't submerge it.

not sure, I wasn't planning to use it in the water. I bought the hand help float one instead. some people use a cut down ski pole- that would be waterproof

I use mine on my kayak. I have never submerged it, but it gets splashed some. So far no problems.

It is definately not water proof....it is just made in such a way that enables it to be more resistant to corrosion in a marine environment.

It can be used on boat paddles. It can not be used where it is always submersed in water. Paddles come out of water and when not in use are stored dry.

The official word from the manufacture is "water tight". I wouldn't drop it in the lake just for fun, but holds up to nasty weather just fine.

Sent it back to Amazon...seemed way too flimsy. Sorry...I don't know about the waterproof question.

Yeah, you probably don't want to put it directly under the water though. I took it kayaking and it got splashed a few times and still worked fine.

It is NOT waterproof. As far as leaving outdoors, I would not think that would be a problem. The top fits covering over the sides of the tops of the box so in a boat it should be ok as long as it is not submerged in water.

We have not had ours wet, but the part carried by the child does not have a seal on the battery compartment. The sound comes through three holes about the size of the wire on a paper clip. It could not take being submerged, but would probably not be hurt by splashes of water or rain as long as it was wiped off right away.

No, it's not waterproof. I bought mine hoping that the military - style cover would protect it from the occasional splash exposure on my pontoon boat, and had to replace it within a month, after 1 rainstorm. Get one with an add - on boot. You won't get the pretty light, but you'll have a switch that works when you need it.
