- (Overall) Water Resistance
- Bike bag makers regard the need to repel water from a variety of perspectives. Water resistance is not always a design requirement for bags used for commuting and touring in dry environments. However, often times these bags will come with a waterproof cover. For bags where water resistance is important the level of water resistance can vary depending upon the typical environment the bag is used in and the type of bag and the force of rain and tire spray it encounters. For example frame bags are exposed to less rain and tire spray when compared to other bags.
