One should not expect that it is really waterproof, but some rain he should starting to without equal everything is completely wet from a backpack. All my (about 5) Backpacks you I had used in the last 30 years, which could at least. This one can without rain cover but not used. Probably that's the price you for the respect to the size, pays low weight, as the substance is just quite easy. Now I need to any hike just yet the rain cover this because the perspective with the low weight again. Otherwise, I am completely satisfied with the backpack he wears very well (am a man, of medium size, rather wide).
