It is water resistant as it has a DWR treatment. If you need more than water resistance, you could look at something like The North Face Solar Flare sleeping bag- this bag uses a waterproof face fabric (although it is not seam sealed so not totally waterproof) and gives you a much higher level of weather-proofing in a sleeping bag. It is also down fill instead of synthetic, and will pack down quite a bit smaller. The other option might be to look at something like the Flight Bivy or Backpacker Bivy to give you some versatility when you need that extra water resistance.
