how waterproof or watertight is this bag? i am going on a month-long kayak trip in february and would hate to be SOL with a wet bag! everyone else i know is taking a synthetic bag but i love the coziness of this one and would prefer to take it than get a new synthetic one.

The fabric on this bag is waterproof. The construction of the bag is NOT... meaning it is not taped or sealed. So, it will provide a little weather protection if caught out but it will not provide weather proof-ness. You might be okay taking it on your trip but you might be better off with a synthetic bag. I imagine all of your stuff will be in a dry bag? Or bags? If you need to get a synthetic bag... check out the Ultralamia 15 from Mountain Hardwear. Hope this helps!
