Do they exist? I'm often walking in the rain with my bass, and while the bass stays dry, I end up with a soggy bag.  A double bag would also be plus. |

Two coats with either of these spray on coatings, and your problem is solved. Follow the directions for application. This stuff is used for tents, backpacks, awnings, etc. It does work!

My Sadowsky incase came with a zipper skin that covers the bag for rain or long transport, like a nice golfbag cover. I cant remember if my newer Sadowsky has the same cover

|  | Signed, Sealed, Delivered | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: NY & MA | | | I've used Scotchguard for years. It is not a waterproofing treatment, but it is a liquid/stain repellant. It'll be safe to spray on 99.9% of the fabrics and materials gig bags are made of (do not spray on leather) and will do a good job of making the material much more liquid/water repellant than it was before the treatment. The treatment is not permanent and will have to be re-applied from time to time. Overall a good idea, but not as waterproof as a garbage bag... |
