Hey Justin, My medium Shopsack held up just fine in this morning's 35-minute commute through heavy rain in SF. The only downside is that the bag gets a bit heavy from absorbing some of the water, although this is a small price to pay for having dry goods. I keep a small trash bin liner in

I have the tan and olive shopsacks (one large, one medium). The material is essentially waterproof in Boston-area rainstorms during a commute ~40min. However-- I don't think the zippers are waterproof. I could imagine that an unlucky orientation could cause water to leak through the zippers.

I think it's more of a cash flow thing. Manufacturers probably want to set up once (for each size) to cut tubes, set up jigs, weld, and be done with 'em. Each time they change to a different size/spec, there's time lost. Riv will probably be fine with a few unsold frames-- but paying for all
