Is this pack water repellent at all?

I've used it in a couple of light showers and every thing stayed dry but I wouldn't drop it in water

It is water repellant. As far as water proof, I'm not sure about that. I have not had it out in any big rainstorms yet.

it does not seem to be waterproof, although it does repel insects and works very well even in jogging and outdoors hiking. I do hope this answers your question, and thank you for your business. have a wonderful day, Jazzy's Express

No it is not. It keeps leaves and dirt off and is water resistant. Water has not only come through mine but the covers have completely mildewed and are disgusting now. I am throwing them away and I am very disappointed, they are heavy, maybe too heavy as they are very, very difficult to fold up and move.

This pack is not waterproof. It will have some level of water resistance, and that can be augmented with after market treatments like Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-on. Additionally, many people buy a separate rain cover for their pack if they know they'll be out in the rain often. Several companies make rain covers that come in general sizes to fit a range of pack sizes.

No, it does not. If your pack is designed to accommodate a water reservoir though, it should stay put. I have been using mine hard this hunting season, and had no problems with it.

My has never really got wet. I have been caught in the rain.... with no damage to the contents of my backpack. However the marerial does seem like it would be at minimum resistant. Hope that helps.

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.

Yes it is. Wore it during light rain and all my gear remained dry. It's a great pack.

I tested it with a drop or two of water, and the answer is "no." It actually absorbed the water, and didn't resist or repel it.

Not really. It repels water somewhat but if someone got a large amount of water on it eventually it would soak through

No, it isn't waterproof. I've had it out in the rain, and it is somewhat resistant, keeping things dry for a few minutes only. My daughter had a similar pack while attending college, and simply sprayed it with the same waterproofing she used for her suede boots. It still wasn't completely waterproof, but definitely held long enough for her to get from the college back to her apartment, even on days she forgot her umbrella. Don't know what Wenger would have to say about her "life hack", but she was pretty proud of herself.

yes it is! I was on a trip to Greenville SC. we got stuck in the rain and none of my stuff got to wet. I also wear it around everywhere and sweat with it on. it's been really awesome! I may upgrade to one of the larger ones but this particular bad is amazing!

Not at all! I know what you're talking about too. This is actually a very nice product. We haven't had the opportunity to test it's full potential as "waterproof" b/c usually it's just his blanket that gets wet but so far I'm very happy with it. Hope that helps!

I use the cover to keep the dust off in the garage. I'm thinking "water repellent" is sorta like a "water resistant" watch, you probably wouldn't want to go swimming with it on.

Unsure for I have never tried it, but I have had it in the rain and it does repel rain from getting into any of the compartments. Hope this is some help for I do enjoy this backpack!!!Regards,Terry L. Shook

It is not water repellant, but the fabric dries quickly as it is not wool. It is blend of synthetic and natural fibers and is tough and airy. I highly recommend it, but not for thorny desert brush. Forest, grassland, etc it is great.
