YogaBearJust sounds like they're being cautious in-case someone does not roll the bag and close it properly and then water gets inside. By the looks of it, backpack straps, mesh pockets, bungee on the outside; I don't think that this bag is really meant to be submersible, but I bet that if its closed properly, it'll keep everything inside dry. Checked it out on the AE site and it looks like the bag is made of PVC Tarpaulin, which is a waterproof material, not "water resistant".

Backcountry36how are all the straps and such attached to the bag? i'm guessing anything stitched would be sealed and if the sealant wears out, it's a damp bag, not a dry bag.

Backcountry36The fabric, PVC Tarpaulin, is waterproof. The design, welded seams and roll top, is also waterproof. The only possible reason water would leak is user error in closing the roll top. Advanced Elements is cautious with their wording by calling it highly water resistant, when in fact it is water proof by general definition. Hope that helps @YogaBear and @Backcountry36

I'd prefer something more reassuring, like "waterproof" or "submersion tested to x meters for y hours" before trusting it with my electronics and other stuff....
