Rick Steves Civita Shoulder Bag - is it waterproof?

[MNT568]

Does anyone have a Rick Steves Travel Gear Civita Shoulder bag? It looks like something I might like but I was wondering if it was waterproof. Last year I carried my Vera Bradley and will probably do so again but I like to have a back-up for those real rainy days.

Sorry, not water proof at all. We took these to Greece and they truly weigh nothing, very comfy, durable, scrunch to nothing in the suitcase, etc; but we had no rain. When we thought it might rain, we put stuff in a big plastic grocery bag inside so that part didn't matter. I'm probably taking mine to WDW but if it looks like rain will do the plastic bag thing again.

Thanks! Back to the drawing board.
