Waxed canvas backpacks
Waxed canvas shrugs off rain, picks up character with use, and can be re-waxed for decades. It is heavier than nylon, which is the main trade-off.

What to look for
- Check the laptop sleeve size and whether it is padded and raised off the base.
- Roll tops and flaps keep rain out better than exposed zippers.
- Canvas weight in ounces indicates durability: 15 oz and above is heavy duty.
Common questions
- Is waxed canvas waterproof?
- It is highly water resistant. Seams are not sealed, so long downpours can get through.
- How do you clean it?
- Brush off dry dirt and wipe with cold water. Soap and hot water strip the wax.
