I want to put this on a bike messenger bag made of ballistic nylon; will it last and stay on, especially after some time in the rain?

I have it stuck on everything, including my nylon trunk box. It has been hit with rain and road splashes, and seems to stay put. I have not ridden in driving downpours, but believe that this stuff would not be affected by such rain.

Gloria, i didint much care for this bag and did not get to use it in the rain before passing it along. Just didint care for it, but i dont think this bag is water proof and i wouldint trust it to be.

It seems some what water resistant. I haven't been caught in the rain with it as if yet though. It's toddler resistant if that says anything?! Wish I had a better answer for you... I do love the bag though, now I need a larger one for additional lenses and "stuff"...

Well...I have never had the bag in the rain,it has a great zipper in the middle the bag seems like it would be fine in rain,also there is a spray water repellent that you can use...

it can resist rain to a certain extent, but cmon it has zippers so water can get in if you leave your bag in the rain for too long. But if I were youI wouldn't buy it because although it looks high quality, after months of usage the zippers and the fabric are exposed for their poor quality and aftera year the bag is torn all over from the straps to the zippers. It looks like a mess after 1 year. Trust me I bought mine and I used to loved it

It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited. I have been caught in the rain, with the light, and it worked perfectly. It's important to note that I was too aggressive with the rubber USB cover the second or third time I charged the light... and it popped off. My plan was to replace it - but I've been just too busy to get to that "C" list item. In spite of the exposed USB, the light re-charged flawlessly. This is a good value - several friends purchased the same light based on my experience and first hand observations. The charge lasts a long time and the unit is powerful, but not bulky. Good luck and be safe out there. It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited.

The back of it is made of neoprene or something like it so I'm not totally sure, but I personally would use it in a light rain!

It will still work. I carry mine around in the pocket of my cargo pants and also in a small bag for my nick-knacks that is made of heavy duty nylon. Works great. I wouldn't put it on the dashboard of your car or generally in direct sunlight, but anywhere else has been ok. Only needs to be re-soaked every couple days for a few minutes to keep the internal beads moist and plump.

I've used this on my bike in light rain conditions and everything inside, including my phone, stayed dry. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would say this is water "resistant," just not water "proof."

It is not waterproof. I was in a downpour without a cover once. It held out for a bit but started getting wet inside. Buy a cover. Other than that the bag has held up for a couple of years and is holding up great.

material appears to be water resistant nylon and the electronics are inside the second section in a pocket in the bottom.. it is a sealed battery and there is a plug and a flap for the ac connector for charging... and the cables are also in an inside pocket.. so my guess is that it would be fine in the rain for a bit but if it was soaked through and through you may have an issue..

I have not used this pack in strong rain so I am not sure. If I lived in a rainy environment I would apply some aftermarket waterproofing like nikwax or any other performance BDR spray. Especially if I were going to carry my laptop.

Well, I live on Kauai. Which is home to the rainiest spot on the planet (Waialeale). While I haven't had it out in the heaviest of rains, I do religiously put the rain fly on the bag whenever I take it out. Thus far, it has kept everything inside perfectly dry. As long as it's on your back, you're good (the rain fly doesn't cover the straps or the back). I'd rate it excellent so far. If I try to take it out during a big storm like we had over the weekend, I'll update, but I hope I won't need to be out in that.

NO !!! It lasted for 2 days when it collapsed in a normal rain. I complained and returned it. Sorry.

I have used it in light rain and my phone was fine, I'm not sure about a heavy downpour. I keep a zip lock bag in the compartment in just case I get caught in a deluge, I'm just not willing to risk it.

I only got caught in the rain once. I put the battery pack inside my messenger bag and had the light on my basket. No problems. Dried it off when I got home.

I bought one in June and in 1 test it was waterproof as advertised. I will know more in a few months. I park my bike outside at work in Oregon (i.e. lots of rain coming in the next 8 months). There was 1 big rainstorm this summer. When I came out, my bike was dry. Water was sitting in a puddle on top of the cover, and wasn't dripping through. That was a good sign. I am hoping it will be waterproof as it will be out in the open.
