Yes, it's water resistant. Treated with DWR (durable water repellant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durable_Water_Repellent) a coating that causes the water to bead up and roll off, but it's not a waterproof fabric, not seam-sealed...in a quick rain or little drizzle you'll be ok, but if it's really pouring you'll want to have a pack cover, which is the case with most packs. We could make a waterproof pack if you're willing to pay $900 for it...It's always best to use a rain cover. This will protect your pack contents & give you peace of mind.
