This bag shipped very quickly and is as described. Seams seem to be of good quality, no stray threads or broken stitches. Material is definitely waterproof, but I haven't been able to test if all of the seams are as well yet. It's definitely water resistant at least, I wouldn't worry about bringing it through some light rain at all. I have no reason to suspect it won't be waterproof in a heavy storm, just haven't tested yet. About as good as much more expensive brands, if not as aesthetically flashy.
