That is true. It has also been true of other brands of soft luggage that I've used in the past. I don't know if Cortech is any better or not.

The only way to be sure things stay dry in soft luggage is to put it in plastic bags inside the luggage. Most soft luggage will hold up well to light rain of limited duration. With or without rain covers. But go through a few hours of really heavy rain - it all leaks. In my opinion, the main thing rain covers are good for is to keep dirty road spray off of the luggage, and there is no such thing as "water proof" with soft luggage. Water resistant, yes.
