Water-Repellent vs. Waterproof
- Water-repellent (water-resistant) – DWR coating repels light rain, but water can penetrate in heavy rain. Most backpacks fall into this category.
- Waterproof – Welded seams, waterproof zippers, or rolltop closure. Withstands heavy rain.
- Rain cover – Many hiking backpacks come with an integrated rain cover that can be pulled over when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which backpack is really waterproof?
Backpacks that are truly waterproof have welded seams and rolltop closure – for example from Vaude (Proof series) or Ortlieb. Most backpacks are only water-repellent. Tip: Look for the label "waterproof" or "waterproof", not just "water-resistant".
Is a rain cover sufficient?
For most situations, yes. An integrated rain cover reliably protects against showers and moderate rain. For heavy rain or prolonged rain, we recommend a fully waterproof backpack with welded seams.
How do I make a backpack waterproof?
Three options: 1. Purchase and use a rain cover (Raincover). 2. Pack contents into waterproof dry bags. 3. Refresh DWR impregnation with impregnation spray. The safest solution is the combination of rain cover and packing cubes.
