Can this bag be left outside in Southern California?

I would imagine you could have it outside. Very durable bag, just wouldn't want it to get rained on a lot. Mine is outside under a deck enclosure and has endured the Minnesota humidity.

I suppose you could, but after heavy use it might develop some cracks or tears that will let water in. I wouldn't reccomend it unless you don't care about the $60, it isnt the highest quality bag ever, but it gets the job done and has lasted me quite a while with no major defects so far. If you want to leave it out I would at least cover the top with some plastic so the rain would run off instead of gethering and maybe seeping in. I've never tested the water-proof qualities personally so I have no idea how it would hold up over time.

Yes with care (gentle cycle). I liked this bag so much I bought a second one just to have.

Rich, the bag has an outside compartment in the back padding that would hold a laptop. I wouldn't call it a dedicated compartment, it does not zip closed and leaves the laptop exposed to the elements.

Should be no problem to hang outdoors as long as you have something tall enough and sturdy enough to support the weight. However I don't know how well the material will hold up to the elements, I think it will shorten the life of the bag.

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.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

It is not replaceable. To preserve the longevity of the bag, use non-abrasive cleaner such as vinegar and use bleach on a as needed bases.

One additional thing on this - the website for the manufacturer states it is OK to leave outdoors. I live in MN and have no plans to bring it inside...too tall even if I wanted to.

It clearly says it on there not to leave it out. But I have no where to store it so I have left it out for 5 months, but I also live in California where we have no seasons. I am sure for the price you pay, you probably want it to last so keep it in the garage :)

Yes this table can be left outside. It's been out on our deck off and on this spring; in rain & pollen and wipes off so easily

A way that might be a possibility would be to put a shield of some kind over the top of the bag, hanging the bag from a shield, say using plywood , plastic, etc.,it wouldn't get wet from the top and probably not the sides, unless heavy wind with the rain.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

Possibly if the area is covered. Otherwise I would be concerned about the materials rotting in the elements.

This bag is water-resistant...not water-proof. A little rain wouldn't be a problem...but it couldn't keep your items inside dry if left in a heavy rain.

While I have not used it outdoors I don't see any reason you couldn't use it there. It is very well made and one of the best things I've ever bought sight unseen. I am much happier with it than I imagined.

yes, we leave it outdoors all summer, w/ no problems. It has a good finish and does not rust -- although if you were to "rock" it on a stone/concrete/brick patio, the coating would erode.we made a quick cover out of some plastic packaging to keep the leaves/detritus from collecting in the "lounging" area - that was the only fail in the design -- realistically, there is no way a "hole" could have been placed in the sit-upon area w/o destroying the integrity.

Yes, you can, just remove it and leave the other part in the back of it. When you use the bag, then you remove that part.
