I wouldn't call the Sim "waterproof", but it does perform really well in the rain. If you're gonna be playing in the rain, you'll want an umbrella, but I think that'd be the case no matter how waterproof your bag is. One real advantage of the Sim in wet weather is the way the discs are arranged. By being stacked vertically, and in the upper portion of the bag, you don't get a lot of rain coming down on your discs like you do in traditional bags. Also, a big bonus of the bag being close to your back, you don't have to worry about water running off your umbrella right into your bag (always a bummer.) Another perk is that because the backpack is free standing, your quads/straps won't fall into the mud and get stepped on (also, always a bummer.)
If you haven't seen the bag mods thread, I waterproofed the bottom of mine with some bed liner stuff to keep water from wicking up from the ground. I'm definitely happy with the results, but with the Sim, it's arguably less beneficial than with other bags, since the discs don't get wet from the bottom up anyway.
The one drawback I'd say is that there's no rain flap for the putters. Honestly though, it hasn't been much of an issue, especially since the Sim stays covered well underneath a decent umbrella.
