We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any rain in my area. BUT, I've hosed the box down to get rid of the dust and nothing inside got wet. I would say that the box is fairly waterproof IF you assemble it correctly and be sure to have the parts snapped together.

Not sure if its water proof but it has been tough and done well in the rain.

I only used it when it was raining lightly so I believe it is water resistant but not sure if it's water proof.

Water resistant...and I mean very resistant..Waterproof, I haven't been in a downpour with it so can't say. But in drizzle all stayed dry

No, it is not waterproof. I'd say it is resistant to light rain, but it can and does get wet.

Water resistant Sue. It will not survive submerged. It is designed to defeat rain and it performs that very well. Put it out in the bad weather and it will be just fine.

Water resistant, I'd say, yes. Waterproof, no. I sent mine through the washer by accident and it had some issues for a few days before completely drying out.

I wouldn't say it's waterproof/tight. The stuff I store in mine stays dry but the pieces just slide together, plastic to plastic. As another person posted, high winds with rain could cause leaks easily.

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

Yes it appears to be waterproof. Been out in the rain unprotected, still works.

It is water resistant. I do not believe it is water proof. I've brought it out in the rain and snow and it stayed dry. So no it is not water proof just water resistant.

Yes, actually it is very water proof. I took it camping and it rained while we were away from the tent. We came back to a small stream running underneath the tent and nothing inside was wet. Very pleased with it.

Yes, in light rain. I use an umbrella in heavy rain and the contents of the bag stay dry.

As to raining on it or splashing on it, yes it is waterproof. As to submerging it under water, no, because it would leak at the zipper. It's not SEALED.

It is definitely not waterproof. I've had it in the rain with no problems. And I believe the manufacturer claims it is water resistant.

I would not call it water proof, but it dose shed water to some degree depending on how long you in it also noted zippers do have flaps that help a lot with water shedding , warm rain is the worst for getting wet and the only thing i use to protect is a plastic bag over this if in heavy rain , no water bottle holder but you could pick up camel back and put it inside with feed tube if you want to hang a water bottle it has 2 lower side straps to use that hang lose outside of the the 2 large side compartments its up to the user how to conf it ! Nice heavy, large backpack !

I would never call it waterproof but I have been rained on a bit and nothing got inside. Keep a poncho with you in it, just in case.
