Is the bag water resistant? How does it hold up in rain? Snow?

Dragged this thing through snow from the parking lot to the door of my school during the endless spring 2014 snowstorms in the Philadelphia region. The nylon (extremely high denier) is woven so tightly that it my books and papers didnt get wet in 9 months of use so far. The nylon on the back of the case finallly did wear down due to me dragging it up stairs and refusing to lift the case.

We do not know if it's water resistant but it has been holding up very well. We feel it is an excellent product and glad we bought it!!

The bag is a type of canvas. I suspect it would be light rain resistant but have no idea about anything heavier or snow. The wheels are the standard size, so it would roll best on smooth surfaces. It has been quite durable. Good luck with your search.

The material of the bag is water resistant. I take mine out in the rain all the time. Never had a problem with my items getting wet. It's not waterproof. So if it ends up submerged in water your stuff will likely end up wet. But it can definitely withstand some heavy splashing. Just remember to keep the zipper closed!

Short answer, No. The bag is not water resistant nor does it have a spot for holding water bottles. This bag is a last resort for those of us on a very very tight budget. If you can afford a better option, buy it. I couldn't but wish I could have.

no it is not water proof it has little holes all around but that allows the bag to breath.

This bag has a separate compartment for the laptop on the back with a lot of padding on both sides. I believe that it will protect the laptop as well or better than "standard" bags. the compartment is water resistant but not water proof. It is totally fine for treks in the rain or snow. I really like this bag and think it is a great value. I've recevied compliments on the looks and it holds my MacBook and iPad perfectly.

Yes. Very water proof. Have not tried in the snow yet but I am sure it will be fine.

In light rain the bag kept camera and accessories dry. Have not used it in snow. Love the bag, keeps things handy and carries well as back pack.

The bottom of the bag is because it is made out of solid rubber, but the bag itself is not. It will repel some light precipitation for a while (light rain, fog, drizzle,etc), but a soaking rain shower would probably get into it. So if you are looking for a fully waterproof bag, this isn't it. But it gives you some protection.

It is very water resistant. It has two seams that I guess might let in water if it were very, very rainy, but it has kept the wood dry through snow and rin for us.

I don't think it's advertised as water resistant, but we've endured a terribly wet spring with ongoing soccer practices in rain and snow. The main compartment stays dry. The shoe compartment with the vents could catch some water, but we've had no issues in our 6 weeks of use.

I Just used it today under rain. Just perfect. Of course the zips are not proof. But in general is the best bag I own. MAURO

If I walk in the rain with the bag for a while, it is not a problem at all. But if you soak it in water, I am sure it will leak somewhere. I am very happy with the bag, good quality.

The outside is canvas so it is water repellent to a point. The inside liner is nylon on the outside and a soft clothe on the inside. Throwing it in a lake or being stuck outside more than 10 minutes in a down pour could allow water in. I never trust anything that says water proof so I always bring individual plastic bags for camera, lens etc. if there is any chance of moisture. It also helps to bring a small soft towel. Have not been in any rain or water rides with this.Still, for the price it is an awesome bag.

I would classify this bag as moderately water resistent. It will stand up to a brief rain shower 15 min or so. It is far from being waterproof.Steve

Depending on how long it was out. Mine was left out for two days in the heavy rain and it was soaked, but before that I had had it out in medium rain and it fairer quite nicely, the zippers are amazing to say the least. They hold against water very nicely, the fabric is OK, in medium rain it beads up for about a half hour and after that it starts to soak. I bought some waterproofer from big 5 and it works like a charm with my bag. I highly recommend this bag!!

It is not water resistant. I used it on a two week vacation. Used it in light rain the bag was soaked. It's a decent bag but not for rugged use.

It is water tight for rain for sure. I havn't had it through the winter yet.
