How water resistant is the MK- VII?
Is the canvas water proof?
I know I wore a Danish Gas mas bag (not a MK- VII) on my trip to Peru.
And we went white water rafting!
The bag prtected my cameras inside.
How well will these bags protect to the contents of it from water and rain?

I'd think if you sprayed it down really well with some Scotchguard, it would withstand a rainshower easily. I don't know that I'd take it rafting, but I'd wear it in a hard rain with a good coat of Scotchguard. That's what I put on my LL Bean Field Coats when I wear them hunting anyway....and they're canvas.

Are you serious?!
I wash mine all the time. She's still in perfect shape!
I mean, C'mon, they were made for WAR. I think they could stand up to a few drops of water.

P.S. Dyed it too... TWICE!
Still in amazing shape! Tougher than H.E.L.L.

I am with the Ape on this one if we're talking about the originals. However, what about the WPG's? I've only had mine ina light rain and it's just fine.conceited_ape wrote:morgan wrote:Not the original precious Mk VII. I wouldn’t let a single drop of water hit my precious.

Does anyone have some experience with the WPG in rain? Or, does anyone own one of each and is able to relate if the construction is similar enough to make a fair assuption that the WPG would hold up in "war," much less the rain?
