CamelBak H.O.S.S Pack - 3L
June 24, 2009
Will this be comfortable for a 4-5 hour hike? I'm looking to put in a DSLR sized camera, some food, small gear (handheld gps, flashlights, knife, etc.), and maybe a sweater.
For those that have had this, how does it hold up to rain? Camelbak says it has a waterproof main compartment. I can't find many packs in this size range that would fit my need to protect my camera from water. Considered the Vantage 40, but that seems too big for my needs, and the H.A.W.G. NV seems too small. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

CamelBak H.O.S.S Pack - 3L
June 24, 2009
I too am confused about this... The camelbak website says that it has a waterproof main compartment. I'm looking for something that will keep my camera dry with enough storage space for a long day hike. Originally I looked into the HAWG NV, but now I'm thinking that it's too small, so the waterproof thing is a big deal with me.
Quoting from camelbak site: The H.O.S.S. also features a waterproof main compartment with easy to use roll-top closure (like a dry bag for boating).
