User "G" commented on a side zipper that leaks when submerged in water, but that it can't be seen in any of the views of the pack. Is this zipper also found on the Naos 70?

See my review of the Naos 85. I also own the Naos 70, as I really love the load transfer disc. The main compartment side access zipper which you are referring to on the Naos 85 does NOT exist on my Naos 70!

The zipper which i am refering to is the very large one on the main pouch. As far as i know it is only on the 85. I had a friend with the 70 and it was not on his. I also own the 55, which does not have the zipper. You should be good to go with the 70. However, all the zippers will leak when submerged.... the 85 though is the only one with the zipper on the main "waterproof" bag.

All the Naos feature these zips; You may consider the Acrux, which doesn't.
