NOT Waterproof!
I live in the country, on the side of a mountain. I raise livestock and an organic garden, so I get dirty, and wet during winter and spring. Wearing my dirty, sometimes wet clothes and muddy boots into my house is a definite NO. So, I needed something that I could put my work clothes in that would keep them safe from bugs and rain. I live in a small trailer, so room is at a premium. My work clothes need to be kept outside near my door. I'm way out here alone, so no one to see when I change my outside clothes to my inside clothes. The seller has a video that shows a glass of water being poured over the top of the bag, then pulling out the contents which are dry. The second day that I had a bag outside containing my work clothes, it began raining. Later that morning, when I opened the bag to pull out my work clothes, they were all sodden and wet! I still use the bag, however, after zipping it closed, I turn it upside down to keep the rain from entering the bag through the zipper. Either the video was doctored, or the dry contents replaced the wet ones as they pulled them out. Do not believe the video as these bags are not waterproof as rain will enter the bag through the zipper. Other than that, the bag is quite durable and does hold a lot of weight. In another bag is my fence setter, which weighs about 20 pounds along with my bolt cutters which weigh about 5 pounds. I can carry the bag without fear of the bottom ripping out. Just don't trust them in wet conditions.
