Arc'teryx Naos 70 Backpack - 4270-4640cu in
Bad Bad Leroy Brown - The Naos 70
By Tommy Hunke
September 18, 2008
I was fortunate enough to find an Arcteryx Naos 70 on steepandcheap.com last year. It is a fantastic pack. Everything they say about the waterproof fabric is true - you can dunk it under water or float it down a river and everything in the pack will remain dry. The best thing about the fabric in addition to its waterproofness is its durability. It is definitely not going to tear when rubbed against a rock or when passing under a down tree.
The pack is however too heavy for my tastes, so I am going to switch to one of the smaller Acrux packs, but other than that I have nothing bad to say about the Naos.
