Below is says this pack will support 30-35 lbs no prob, how would it go with 50lbs? And being 5'10 and 150lbs, would the L pack fit so I could get those extra 3L of pack space, or would it be more prudent to go with the M? And lastly, I haven't read anywhere that the pack is water resistant, but in the photos the material looks like it is??
thanks for your help.

Most weight recommendations for packs are within a few pounds of what the pack will support to create a proper and comfortable carry. The pack should hold more weight, but probably wont ride on your back the way it should, throwing you off balance. I would not size up on the harness to get the extra liters.. if you normally go with a medium (like i usually do) then the large will create too much of a gap above your shoulder where the straps contour (assuming the hipbelt is properly in place). The shoulder straps should maintain full contact with the shoulders and carrry less than 15% of the pack weight. You will know when a pack harness is too big by how the shoulder straps contour to your shoulders after properly placing the hip belt. Any sort of gap at the crest of the shoulders.. harness is too big. The material is probably water resistant, but not proof. Most technical packs these days are being made with a resistant fabric. Hope this helps.
