The Chrome bag is waterproof, not that you can submerge it, but a rainstorm on the bike won't make your stuff wet.

One of the laptop bags for the days I need to take my laptop to work and the twinsix messenger for most days. I absolutely love these bags! Not only do they work extremely well, but they stand out from the other bags I see everyday. There are so many Timbuk2s around that I couldn't make myself get one and where I recently moved from, every person who wanted to look like a bike commuter was rocking a Chrome bag. I wanted something different and came across Crumpler a couple years ago and have never looked back. I've been doing my best to hook everyone I can on them ever since :) I agree with a review from up above ... carry a plastic bag with you just in case and you will be fine. I used to commute through Boston with my bag and even on the most miserable days my laptop was fine as long as I gave it that extra layer. I have two Crumpler bags that I use when I commute.

Great choice. The options I use -- currently a laptop-specific backpack and a laptop-specific padded cell inside a water-resistant pannier -- are also water resistant, and the only advice I can offer is to get a thick plastic bag. I like Aldi shopping bags for those freak rain storms, and always keep one with me. I, too commute with a 13″ MacBook. Great choice.
