"If I ever fell in love with a backpack, my Naos 70 is the one!" - Review of Arc'teryx Naos 70 Backpack - 4270-4640cu in

Within months I tried a lot of different backpacks but fell in love with the Naos. When the '07 model went half-price I had to invest the money. It is the first «expensive» backpack I owned and ever since, all my friend's backpacks feel saggy and uncomfortable on my back. It is true, the packing needs consideration and good planning, but I think this is always important when going into the outdoors. I only encountered medium rain with the pack. BUT: when hiking in lots of sand and dust recently i realized, waterproof means dust-proof and even insect-proof too. my gear stayed perfectly dry and clean. /// Once i carried 15 Kilos (33 lb) with my backpack and surprisingly long it felt comfortable. I don't have a hyper-strong back but could handle the weight well. In Switzerland one hiker called my Naos the 'Porsche' of the trekking-packs. I started to believe him already. If you consider this extraordinary backpack, be sure to get it on your back first, loaded with i.e. sandbags to simulate the trekking-feel. If it feels right, I can highly recommend buying it.
