Evidence & verification state

Water resistance is unresolved
“Weather ready” describes a DWR-treated face fabric that sheds light rain during a walk between stops. We have not yet completed a repeatable hydrostatic-head test, so no rating is published. Treat the bag as shower resistant, not waterproof.
