Is it waterproof without using the all weather cover? What type of material?

The weather cover is conveniently located and attached at the bottom of the pack, super easy to deploy and return to its place. I am not sure of the material, however if you were concerned about rain I would spray the pack with 2-3 coats of a water repellent (3M scotchguard) AND the cover as well. If you are concerned about dropping it in the water consider a good water tight bag to cover it with. I live in the NW. It rains a bunch. It works great.

I am not sure the exact type of material, but it appears to be some sort of rain resistant material. I have been caught in light showers and the bag gets damp, but all equipment stays dry even without the weather cover. However, the rain cover is very easy to use and attach...and I have used it during a pretty heavy downpour and everything remained dry with no problems.

It is not waterproof and does not come with a rain cover. You can check with Everki if they can send you one. They are very good responding to customer queries.

It is a plastic material, fairly weather resistant (but the sun will affect it over time). It is waterproof in the sense that water will stay in the bottom reservoir without problem. It is a decent quality plastic (not overly thin). I have had some of them for three years, and they all still function well.

No, it isn't. The material is water resistant. It also has it's own attached cover, stored in the bottom, that is also said to be water resistant. Maybe with the 2 working together it might make it waterproof but since they both say "resistant" I wouldn't take the chance. I am not sure why they wouldn't make at least the cover waterproof but since on the tag it says resistant then that is what I treat it as. I went out and bought a spray can of KIWI Select Super Protector with NANO particles and sprayed the entire outer fabric of the pack a couple times and I haven't had any problems since doing so. I am the type of person that would rather avoid a potential problem by taking a simple precautionary step that will assure that problem won't happen. In this case, I spent the ten bucks on a spray that reinforced the waterproofness of the pack rather than being on a week long hike and having all my gear be soaked within the 1st couple days because the material is water "resistant"! I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

No, I think it isn't, besides it isn't advertised as waterproof. However, the material will keep your stuff dry for a while if under the rain.

The covers are waterproof.I had no problem with it over the summer.I am not leaving it out for the winter so I'm not sure if it will crack or not.

It's a heavy canvas material, so not water resistant. But it's built like a tank, I'd definitely recommend it but not suggest leaving it out in the elements.

I never leave it out in the rain, mainly because of the wind. They do suggest, however, that you can waterproof it by spraying it with Scotchguard or similar product and letting it dry before installation.

It is waterproof, but we use a thick organic cotton cover under the sheet more for comfort than anything else.

Hello,Thank you for your interest. The material itself is really close to waterproof, however we cannot claim that, therefore we can only say it is water-repellant. We do not suggest that this umbrella be used during raining and windy conditions. Also when the umbrella is not in use, please store it closed to prevent damage from winds. Hope this helps!Thank you,Formosa Covers

This cover is not waterproof out of the box. I had to add some latex around the edges and some additional weather stripping before it was waterproof. Still much cheaper than other covers and still the best cover for the price.

I would call it water resistant, not waterproof. Its made to withstand rain, snow etc.

Yes. I kept it outside without a cover for the first week and without any rain (just morning dew) it started to rust. If you purchase it, I would buy a cover.

It is weatherproof and should not need a cover. Wires come through the base so they don't show and they are sealed well.

no it is not weatherproof, I had mine outside in the environment and it filled with water, so you need to insulate it !

No, it is not waterproof whatsoever. It does protect from the sun. Mine only lasted about a year in the AZ sun, though. It dry rotted and tore.

It looks pretty weatherproof. I have one under cover but the other one is SW facing and gets wet occasionally. I do not recall any statements in the instructions relative to keeping it dry or out of the sun. They seem built for the outdoors. Good luck!
