This backpack looks fantastic!
I have been looking a lot at the Naos, but lacked the technical profile for skiing etc.
Can anyone tell me, if this backpack is as water proof as the Naos?
It appears that there is a full length zip directly to the main room.
Have arcteryx changed that fact that on the Naos the Hydration bladder sleeve makes a hole in the water proofness, and it is not easy to get the mouthpiece through the hole.

I don't put a water bladder inside my Naos... Why put water inside the drybag? Just this week the hose pulled off my full bladder after filling it at a spring, dumping a liter before I could catch it. Luckily there's a drain hole in the outer pocket where I keep it. I do put my bladder inside my day/ski packs, but never in a pack with a down sleeping bag...

The Arrakis IS fantastic. not submersible waterproof, due to the watertight zip that allows internal access. However, it will keep your gear dry unless it is under water. The reservoir hose access is a watertight zip, and it's easy to get the hose through. Super Pack, just used it to ski in BC in a full on snowstorm, and it performed flawlessly!
