Was this bag designed primarily for water or dust? It’s amazing how it can keep things dry for such a long time but what about dust exposure?

One thing I didn’t like was that the seam might not be as well sealed as expected. It’s not a major issue, but it can be a slight inconvenience when you’re carrying important stuff. Overall though, I was very happy with this purchase.
