Arc'teryx Naos 45 Backpack - 2500-2870cu in

The worst rainstorm hasn't a chance of getting a drop of water on your weekend backcountry gear, when you pack it in the 2690cu inch Arc'teryx Naos 45. Seam-taped VaporTight fabric and a roll-top closure create a completely waterproof barrier. The two front compartments and lid utilize watertight zippers to keep the little stuff dry, as well. Arc'teryx built the Naos 45 Backpack with pre-formed shoulder straps and a pre-formed waist-belt that pivots on a Load Transfer Disk to eliminate chafing while you hike. Top it off with two aluminum stays and an ultralight Monoframe back panel, and the Naos 45 is one amazing overnight backpack. *Available for US shipment only.

Bottom Line: Arc'teryx intrudes the Naos 45 Backpack—your answer to overnight trips in the worst weather.

Why the price difference between this and the Acrux? They seem

Why the price difference between this and the Acrux? They seem pretty similar to me...

The biggest advantage is the swivel hipbelt. I own the Naos 55, and I can say that the swivel lets the pack move with you, no matter how contorted you become while scrambling over obstacles. It really feels like a part of you. The Acrux uses a conventional fixed hipbelt, so you won't get the same sense of being one with your gear. Nevertheless, I'm sure it's a fine pack.

The Naos has more padding on the back, as well as in the single-piece hip belt, which has a pivot, to reduce chafing. Also, Naos has a couple external pockets.

Nevermind...the price difference is because the Acrux of similar size is on sale...however, is there an advantage to this pack over the Acrux?

Stable, stylie, Waterproof

Took this pack into the High Uintas of Utah over the weekend, and it felt great. I've been carrying an Arc'teryx Bora pack in the mountains for years, and the bora packs feel exceptional, however, they are on the heavier side. Here's the answer from Arc'teryx. The pack feels very close to the bora in terms the way it carries. I'm 5'10", 145lbs and the size regular is perfect. Big enough for a night or two in the summer, but I think I'll stick to my bora for pure backpacking trips. However, This pack will replace my old North Face Patrol pack everywhere else. This is a superb ski touring, day outing, ice climbing size and shape. The unique waist belt system feels great, and really moves with you. This will no be my go2 pack for nearly everything in the mountains!

Hi, I'm 6'1". Do you think I should order a regular

Hi, I'm 6'1". Do you think I should order a regular or tall? Saludos!

6"1" is in the tall range but your torso measurement should be the determining factor. Go to Arcteryx's website and follow the instruction of torso measurements. Your torso length dictates.

This thing is like what mermaids need

By: Backcountry.com Employee

So if were a mermaid and I've never been one so this is all speculative - I'd buy one. When I got to land and needed to float to watch handsome beach-princes toss frisbees to dogs and blast gulls with bread crumbs I'd inflate the pack and use it as a flotation device.

Then when I needed to dive back my village I would deflate all air, and put my electronics in the main compartment, diving to 20,000 leagues - with a dry digital camera the whole time.

But I am not a mermaid and at this point it looks like I'll never become one (which sucks) so I will just use this bag for canyoneering and keeping beer dry in the rain.

I'm not sure about the skis, but I am 1.95 meters (Norwegian/American) and the Arc'Teryx "Long" or "Tall" sizes fit my torso extremely well.
