It doesn't specifically say but through experience it is very water resistant. The only concern is that it does have a headphone slot at the top. It has a triple fold and I haven't experienced any leaks but you should be aware.

It is well-constructed and partially water resistant. During a torrential downpour in ATX, I was able to walk from my car the 50+ ft. to my apartment in the downpour with only a few wet papers and no damaged electronics (iPad and laptop were in the designated electronics compartment). A few papers were wet in the center pocket, but I tend to carry a lot between home and school in my bag as I am a teacher. My hands were full as well, and my dinner was safely in the backpack as well. Now, my clothes were soaked, and water was running down my hair, but the bag wasn't too soaked. I have now had this bag for nearly a school year, and nothing has broken with nearly daily usage (I teach at a private center during the summer and used the bag all summer, too). Each class period I have to pack it up as I am a traveling teacher (teach between different classrooms) both for my full-time and part-time jobs.

It has a clear plastic cover on top and the rest of it is made out of material similar to today's luggage. So I would say it is water resistant but not water proof.

I believe it water resistant, I spilled water on it and my phone was dry. I wouldn't go swimming with it though

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

I believe it is water resistant. To be waterproof the material would need to be a plastic/vinyl material. It is a very good water resistant bag as the zippers are enclosed under a flap.

I would say water resistant, not water proof. The Ortlieb bags are actually water proof like a riverbag. The mini panniers would hang down into side baskets, but are much smaller than baskets.

It is water resistant to some extent. If its like a heavy storm, you have a good 5 minutes until the insides of the bag get wet. However, if you like accidentally spilled water on the bag it should be fine.

I own one and No, it is not water resistant. It is a great piece of clothing for airline travel as it doesn't count as a carry-on; at least, not yet.

I don't think the pack is designed to be waterproof. It's water resistant, but I wouldn't submerge it in a pool of water and expect water not to get in. I would feel secure about using it if it happened to be raining.

Great backpack. Carrys tons of gear. Highly recommend. As far as water resistance I am not sure. Also bear in mind there are many modern spray coatings you can buy that protect the fabric from water penetration. I would say if the bag was treated with waterproofing it should eliminate water leaching through the fabric. The nylon zippers could be the only vulnerable consideration. But if they were sprayed with protectant too my bet is the penetration through the zippers would very slight.

Not water resistant, but very water protective thick heavy material. The stuff on top may get a little damp from water seeping in through zipper. The contents will most likely stay dry until bag gets wiped down.

I have used it in a driving rainstorm for more than 6 hours with no issue so I would have to say yes it is water resistant

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

I would say water resistant. Inside of both panniers is a drawstring pouch which seals pretty tight to condense and potentially protect whats inside from the elements. I have been caught in a few showers which did not affect any belongings (including text books and a laptop) and the bag dried relatively quickly. However, I am sure that water would find a way in during a torrential downpour.

I could not find anything that clears states if it is water proof or water resistant. However, it is made from 100% polyester material, which many consider to be water resistant.

No, it is water resistant, not water proof. It can handle rain and sweat but not being submerged

I think it is water resistant. It does stain easily but you can just use a wipe to clean it. I love the bag
