apophis2099if i remember a review i saw about 1-2 years ago, it comes with (or you have to purchase separately) a sort of hair net/poncho looking plastic cover that goes over the entire pack for rain protection

apophis2099I also ride and I would not use this on my bike, what you want in a riding backpack is something that is comfortable and durable and while this may be durable it does not look comfortable at all. I would suggest the Kreiga R25 which is around the same price.

apophis2099On their website they say that the backpack is pretty water resistant but if you really need to be absolutely positive nothing gets wet there a $15 rain bag that just fits around it. Otherwise they say that because of the clamp system it is pretty water tight.

One thing i am concerned with is the water resistancy. The way the lid clips on looks like if the back pack is rained on, the water will be collected INSIDE of the backpack instead of dispersing the water around like the a car rubber seal. I wouldn't put my laptop in this thing if all it does is to collect water. You wont have time to "oh wait, let me put the cover on" whilst you are riding in the wet.
I don't mind the price because i took some design to make a hard shell backpack but the rain thing gets me.
