I am considering this pack because of its versatility...as school let's up I intend to do more overnight trips...I already know this bag would be stellar for these as a friend of mine has one...however I also do some whitewater kayaking and am interested in going on a couple overnight trips a year...how waterproof is this bag? Has anyone possibly submerged it for say 5-10min? I'm wondering how dry it would be if I have to bail out of my kayak and the bag ends up swimming a while...Thanks for your help,Tim

Hey whats up man. Im currently a guide on the chattooga river in georgia, i bought the acrux 50 not long ago and it doesnt get any better as far as water proof. It does feel a little strange at first, but you will get used to it. i (unfortunatly) swam at on the narrows on the green when i got sucked into a hole and my pack was sumerged for a while before it was spit out and i chased it down river, and everything was dry. good choice on the pack.
