Will laptop stay dry in regular backpack during heavy rain?

<p>When you take your laptop to class in your backpack and it’s raining, does it get damp? Do you first put it in a sleeve/cover thing inside of your backpack? </p>

<p>We didn’t transport electronics back in my day (unless you consider a Sony Walkman electronics). Thanks for any helpful info.</p>

<p>Laptop bags are made to protect the contents from rain and water, but like anything “waterproof” you should remember that the price of the item will directly correlate to how waterproof it is, If you are out biking in Seattle you need to have a great waterproof case, but the simpler solution is probably a good bag and an umbrella in it.</p>

<p>Hope this is helpful</p>

<p>Mine stays dry enough, but I usually try to cover it with my umbrella just in case.</p>
