Is etrailer Cargo Bag With Mounting Straps Totally Waterproof
Question:
Quick question on the e98990 cargo bag. I see where it says it is water resistant, but kinda confused a little. So does that mean it is waterproof totally? Is this fine to use in the rain because I wouldn't want a bag I could't drive through a little weather in, you know?

That's a good question and the "Water-Resistant" description of the etrailer Cargo Bag with Mounting Straps # e98990 means that it is fully resistant to the elements so you can absolutely use it and drive through inclement weather like rain or snow without any issue at all - your gear will definitely stay dry.
It isn't deemed "Waterproof" because that would mean you could submerge it completely in water and everything would stay dry. For example (and just for the sake of explanation) let's say you put all your gear in the bag and then decided to take it to a swimming pool and totally submerge it under water. Eventually, water would slowly seep into the bag, which means it is not totally waterproof.
All of which means that for normal use in a cargo carrier or on a roof basket, no matter what the weather is, all of your gear will stay dry when in the etrailer Cargo Bag with Mounting Straps # e98990.
