Excellent Bag, definitely waterproof. Put it in shower for hours, plunged it zipper down into tub full of water for a length of time. NO leakage. Look of bag is high quality, expensive looking material, not cheap vinyl looking. It can get small dirt/dust scuff looking marks rather easy, but wipes off with wet cloth very easy. Straps are long enough to use as backpack, but you would definitely need to attach a chest cross strap to secure or straps will easily slip off your shoulders. The plastic D-rings attached at the 4 strap points are excellent and can be used to attach other items. Very sturdy. Happy that it was MADE IN THE USA!
