Excerpt:
“Oh, and the Checkpoint Flyer handles rain like you’d expect from a bag out of Seattle. For reasons that do not here bear examination, I ended up taking a very long walk through empty parts of Haifa for much of one Saturday night, during which time it mostly alternated between drizzle and downpour. Even for someone used to living in Seattle, this was a wet night to walk. And though the Checkpoint flyer was in no way protected from the rain, all it did in that ongoing rain was get very wet — on the outside. The fabric is tight enough that most of the water just rolled off; none of the paper, food, or clothing I had stuffed in there at the time saw a drop of rain, and after an hour or so in my hotel room I couldn’t tell it had ever been wet. So I had zero worries about walking in milder rain over the weeks that followed.”
