100% waterproof backpack for Clevo570RO/Sager NP5790

Well, the topic says it all
I need a 100% waterproof backpack (or carrying case, but I prefer a backpack) for my laptop. It needs to be 100% waterproof cause I intend to take it with me on my motorbike.
Any ideas?
I just got myself a backpack at a local retailer, but I doubt it's waterproof. I'll probably return it, so I'm looking for another one

Thx in advance for any advice

 

What about buying a nice one from REI or something and then treating it with silicone spray (on the outside). It's what I do for my backpacking gear.

 

I don't think you'll be able to find a water proof backpack...at least not a stylish one or one that isn't $200.

What you could do though........

Buy a regular backpack you like/is comfortable/big enough but not huge, then.......buy some waterproof spray (like what you buy in a can for shoes) treat the backpack with it.

For added protection you could get a sleeve for the notebook and treat it too, or find a nice rubber type bag or sleeve....it may be easier to find a waterproof sleeve for the notebook.

Good Luck

*Edit....damn I made my post too long and got beat to the punch

 

I know NorthFace has Backpacks with 100% Water proof zipper sealing pockets...i would look at companys like Northface, Patagonia, And mabey Columbia.

Also it doesn't have to be a "laptop" bag....a backpack and some type of custom cushion is good ]

it doesn't need to be a laptop bag per se
but, ordering from a site to find out it is't suitable for a 17" laptop is't what I'm looking for ... otherwise i think i could have found something @ waterproofstore
as for computerbags.com: i don't see any backpacks, which is a shame of course, as that is what i am primeraly looking for ... only if i can't find a decent oe, i might consider a waterproof case
but thx for the tips phil

also thx 2 kozi and mit, for your suggestion. however, I'm not all that confident a spray will protect it enough (you have to think a few hours in pretty heavy rain, going at speeds from 30 km/h to 120+ km/h (no idea how much that is in mph )

more ideas are welcome

well see...you can get a bag of 100 of these for a few bucks...GARBAGE BAGS...

 

where are you going to be taking ur laptop/bag where it will get submerged?

 

I doubt his new NP5791 is garbage...

 

Maybe try the OtterBox:

Just make sure it fits though.

 

i see he lives in Belgium....LUCKYY!! i was there about 6 months ago..... I see your an autobahn Man ! Unless you strap the OtterBox down idk about it... i would use something from the waterproof store...it has dimensions for each bag and the waterproof rating... i would highly recommend it

 

I'm not sure if it'll fit a 17" notebook, but I've seen one of these and it's quite eye catching:

It's the Pacific Outdoor Gig computer bag. A bit pricey, though. Comes in 3 colors. Apple, black, and rust orange. Oh wait, it's not a backpack. Never mind.

hehe
yeah, i wouldn't call my lapie garbage ... at least not for the next 2 to 3 years (preferably even longer )

as for the bag itself, i might have found one:
http://store.thewaterproofstore.com/animasblk.html
though it doesn't have to be fully submersible (i think), it won't hurt that it is (like I said, a few hours on a motorbike in pouring rain really does require a full waterproof bag)
also, it seems to be the only bag with somewhat proper dimensions (room for notebook + some extra space) without being overly large (like http://store.thewaterproofstore.com/kodiak.html for example )

will have to think about it though .. maybe see if i can find a reseller in Belgium for it
thx for all the tips folks

This is the MEC Darwin 2 laptop bagpack. Read the reviews on the site for more info. I saw it in person and it looked very nice and functional (suspended laptop sleeve in the middle of the bagpack, looked quite secure for a laptop). It seems like it would withstand light rain by itself (zippers are the shielded type) but it also has a separate rain cover built-in, attached within a sleeve at the bottom.

Not sure if it'll fit a 17-incher though, better call/ask before you commit to a purchase.

 

2 bad it's too small
M570RU/NP5790 = 39,7 x 28,4 x 4,4 cm (or 15,6299 x 11,1811 x 1,7323 inch)

 

Aww, you're right, I just saw the measurements. 1.7cm and 0.4cm too small xD

I think it might still fit to be honest, the laptop sleeve is closed via a large velcro pad that could potentially allow you a few centimeters leeway.

But if you can't test it out in person, probably best to err on the side of caution and go with something else. Good luck with your search!

 

Thx
I'm going to return the backpack I've got now this weekend. Then I'll probably order the one I mentioned earlier (unless someone comes up with another idea )

Thx 2 all for the ideas
