Arc'teryx Naos 85 Backpack - 5004-5370cu in

As the biggest pack in the Arc'teryx AC² line, the Naos 85 Backpack represents the obvious choice for carrying big loads in extremely wet environments. This completely waterproof Arc'teryx backpack features fully taped seams and a roll-top closure to ensure you gear stays absolutely dry no matter the weather. With 5187cu inches of cargo capacity (medium size), the Naos 85 Backpack easily holds enough gear to keep you going for a week or more. The fully adjustable Thermoformed suspension and 7075 aluminum stays support your giant load of gear, so you can hike in comfort.

Bottom Line: Going out for a week in wet weather? No problem. The Arc'teryx Naos 85 Backpack takes it in stride.

Alright, so after a full summer of hiking with this pack, i am going to update the review that i already posted. The one drawback to this pack is that the designers put a "waterproof" zipper on the side of the pack. You cannot really see this zipper in any of the views. It access the main storage section. This is a horrible design. I tested it out in my bathtub before i took it to some slot canyons in SoUT, and it leaked. I tried it out anyways in the canyons (double dry bagged) and it leaked again. I am not sure what they were thinking putting that zipper there, but the description that says "no the bag is waterproof" is not true. The smaller bags such as the naos 55 do not have this zipper, and i would def believe the waterproof rating on those bags. Other than this zipper, the bag is spectacular. For the bags size and what you can put in it, i dont think there is a finer bag on the market.

Took this on the maiden voyage the other day. I went on a 22.5 mile hike with 49.2 lbs inside this pack and it performed beyond expectations. It is a ton of money to spend on a product, but if you can even come close to affording it, I would not hesitate at all. The pack is def worth the money. My shoulders were not very sore at all, and i am just a little guy (5' 8" 140lbs) so the pack i was carrying was more than 1/3 my body weight. My back and shoulders felt fine the next day. I would rec this pack to anybody.
