Untreated nylon is hardly waterproof, you'll want a rain cover. You can also treat the fabric with other products, check these links below:http://www.backcountry.com/store/OSP0131/Osprey-Packs-UL-Raincover.htmlhttp://www.backcountry.com/store/MCN0015/McNett-ReviveX-Spray-On-Water-Repellant-for-Outerwear.htmlAdditionally, you can find a pack that has a rain cover as part of it. Vaude's line of packs are pretty darned tough, easy on the wallet, and have a fantastic fit system.http://www.backcountry.com/store/brand/100000331/Vaude.html
