Shocking results!! RAIN TEST! Bellroy venture ready pack 26L 

Thanks for tuning in to The Golden State Consumer!
TL;DR - left in rain for 7 minutes, had some water soak through a point in the main compartment's YKK zipper and even through the backpack's outer shell. I’d rate the water resistance a 4 out of 10.

It's been pretty dry lately but had some rain pass by and thought it was a perfect time to do my first ever water resistance test on a bag - the victim - the new Bellroy Venture Ready Pack 26L.
The quick access pocket fared well, it was a bit damp inside but nothing was soaking wet.
I wouldn't consider this a downpour by any means but it was definitely raining sideways. In fact, the rain was predominantly hitting the right side of the bag which is where the water soaked right through the bag and into the main compartment's "water bottle" pocket where I keep my external battery.
Inside the main compartment, the top zip pocket was soaked. There must've been a weak point in the main compartment's YKK zipper because a significant amount of water got inside and completely soaked that internal top zippered pocket. And no, it wasn't from a gap between the zippers because I had those off to the side.
I had a pouch and deck of cards in there that were soaked.
The laptop compartment was safe, some water got in along the outline of the compartment but my @Nedrelow laptop sleeve was completely dry.
Setting the bag on the ground right away probably caused the water to soak through the bottom which got my snack pouch really wet.
I’d rate the water resistance a 4 out of 10.. it definitely wasn’t raining too hard yet a good amount of water got inside the bag and made the contents inside pretty wet but the laptop compartment stayed dry.
I’ve had bags (peak design every day bag 20L) that withstood a downpour in Amsterdam for longer than 10 minutes while I waited for an Uber. Some water got inside through the seams at the top of that bag, but all of the contents inside were completely dry.
Let me know if you guys found this video helpful!
I’ll have another video of this pack posted soon where I had an issue with the straps.
