Is this bag waterproof or water-resistant?
This bag is not waterproof, but it is water-resistant! It can handle light drizzle, but if it's pouring, we recommend storing an umbrella in one of the side pockets.
Can this bag fit under an airplane seat, and is it considered a personal item?
Yes! We took this bag on domestic and international travels when testing its functionality and had no problem using it as a personal item and placing it under the airplane seat.
We always recommend checking with your airline their specific size requirements as many have their own rules for personal items and carry-ons.
