I hike in the winter and winter gear can be bulky. This large pack is 5370 cu.in. and 6 lb. 4 oz. That's not heavy for a large waterproof pack. I have had it out in light rain and snow and it does well. I have not been out in a bad storm such as the one that convinced me to buy this pack, but I think it will be waterproof. A waterproof pack gives you options in bad weather that save weight. You can sleep in a bivy, store your stuff in the pack while you sleep, and not worry about it getting wet. The more I use it, the more I like it.
