how good is this pack with keeping out the water and kepping your supplies dry inside? Also does the hydration pack tude freze up while riding, is it insulated? I read a bunch of reviews on this pack and none of them seemed to cover those topics

The waterproofing is quite good, but not 100% waterproof. You can't submerge this bag in water and expect your stuff to stay dry, but you can expect that a wet snow day will not affect your gear. As for the tube, it will freeze when it gets cold enough, as the sleeve leaves very little protection. That said, an insulator for Camelbak is easy to come by.
