Re: My Quest for a Good, Small, Water Resistant, M4/3 Camera Shoulder Bag

I didn't read the entire initial post so forgive me if I'm a little off.

About 35 years ago, I purchased a camera bag that was advertised as water resistant. Advertisers have a tendency to be overly optimistic about their products so I used some tent waterproofing spray to recoat the entire bag paying close attention to seams. It was about fifteen years before I had to do it again.

Tent waterproofing will make almost any fabric water tight; it doesn't have to be a thick, tightly-woven fabric.
