I have been collecting flag patches from every country I have visited and I would like to sew them on my custom messenger bag. I will have to sew through the waterproof lining to do it. Will this be a problem or should I be able to sew the patches on without ruining the integrity of the waterproof liner?

I have an Original Commute in waxed canvas and I love it. My other TImbuk2 bags have the vinyl lining but this one has a non-waterproof nylon liner on the inside.

Will my Commute become less waterproof over time? If so, how can I maintain/restore its waterproofness? Can I use Barbour's waterproofing dressing for this purpose?

Is there a significant difference in the durability and water resistance of a nylon versus a hemp/PET bag (specifically the commute)?

Do you have messenger laptop bags that have waterproof interior AND external bottle holders? Or just one or the other?

what kind of waterproof lining does the eula have? I'm looking for something that won't run or tear.

Does the waterproof lining cover the entire inside of a custom messenger bag, or just the top flap? An advantage to an orange or light gray liner would be the added visibility inside the bag, making it easier to find those random small items at the bottom. ...But that assumes the ability to choose the interior color as well as the exterior panels.

So what's the story? Is the waterproof lining an all-over lining, or is it more of a waterproof flap situation?

Does the Track Day Pack laptop bag have a waterproof rubber bottom? I know it says so on the site, but when I was looking at a Track Day Pack in a local store, it had a normal bottom. Also, in some of the pictures of the Track Day Pack, it's hard to tell whether it has a waterproof rubber bottom.

I was also wondering how resistant to rain the Track is. I currently have a messenger bag and I love the rubber waterproof flap but my next bag will be a backpack that has to be able to resist rain for at most 15 minutes (my morning walk commute) with a laptop in it. Any other recommendations if the Track isn't best suited for rain?

Thanks!

I was able to track down a bag- but now I can't find the info, the dimensions and if it was H2o proof....it seems to be just a nylon lining...in which case I'm sad, I thought it was waterproof like my tote.

Can anyone help me with these two questions?

Was just wondering, since I'm thinking of getting a metro, and would like to get the most water-resistant one. And I'm guessing the Nylon lining isn't exactly very water-resistant.

I'm wanting to buy your classic sleeve and use it in a non-waterproof backpack. Is the classic sleeve waterproof or have a waterproof lining?
