John, The fabric is pu coated -- I believe it is waterproof (it passed my tap test, not used it in real rain yet), but the zipper and seams are not -- but neither are the ShopSack's. Like that bag, I'd call this highly water resistant, but if you cannot afford for something to get wet (camera, phone, etc) it would be wise to protect those things in plastic bag inside the sack -- regardless if you use a Wald or a Riv bag.
