    Hey Folks,

    I got an offical Nikon backpack through work a while back, the one they were giving away with the D3000. Does anyone know if they are waterproof?

    Should be fairly water resistant I would imagine? The one I have (LowePro) has an optional raincover, so I wouldn't be going out in the monsoon season with it.

    You could always test it with no stuff inside?

    I've got some backpacks that aren't AW (all weather....option rain cover that rolls out) and I've lined the camera section with plastic bags in case I get caught out. The outer material will get wet and the bag swill hopefully reduce the amount of moisture getting into my gear. Obviously if it gets soaked, removed everything form the bag forst chance you get and let it dry out along with the bag. silica gel is good too.

    Thanks guys, I certainly don't plan to take it out in any monsoon conditions. It would be handy for the times when I can't decide whether to take a film camera or the DSLR.

    Will give it a trial run shortly.

    I usually carry a black trash bag big enough to cover my bag, if it is either is not waterproof or doesn't have a AW cover.

    You can get a generic back rain cover from any good outdoor sporting goods store. They run anywhere from about 20-55 euro last I checked. Which is why I opted for the 5.99 for 30 trash bag cover.
