Answer to: "is this pack made of water shedding material?"
Osprey Packs Argon 85 Backpack - 5100-5500cu in
March 25, 2008
It is somewhat resistant, yes. It is made from a variety of different cordura fabrics, most of which include a plastic-like coating on the inside and a repellent finish on the outside. After numerous uses, however,the repellent outside finish will wear down and require reapplication using a third-party treating solution. The inside coating can break down as well and become less effective.
Get a rain cover and keep it with your pack for those surprise storms!
In short, most good packs will repel a modest rain storm for hours, but will leak at the seams and zippers over time, or if exposed to extreme weather.
Well Done

Light and compact, I also like the straps that hold a sleeping pad in place. be sure you have the opening pointing away from the wind or your heat will just be sucked out!

These stay on, they are great on rocks and side hilling and seem to be very durable. Check out my video of a mountain lion attacking mountain goats! www.eyeinthewild.com

Great traction & construction. They also seem to stay on my boot well - even on steep mountain sides.

Winter Photo friends
Burton AK Powerstretch Liner Glove - Men's
December 28, 2006
I wear them under my big clumsy OR's and when an opportunity for a photo comes up these gloves handle my camera & all of its controls nicely. They extend the amount of time I have to take photos before my hands start to freeze and go numb. They also work by themselves in milder weather (20-30 degrees) when sitting still for long periods of time can get uncomfortable.

Eh'
Arc'teryx Delta Glove - Unisex

I am not impressed - I had planned on using these as liners, but their warmth to bulk ratio seems kind of poor. They work fine for a quick pair to grab when the steering wheel is cold.
