Rick_D member Registered: 01/06/02 Posts: 2939 Loc: NorCal	The ArcTeryx Naos85 is the only seam-sealed large backpack I know of. It's heavy as heck, but a lot of big packs are. Naos85 I'm sure there are WP portage packs but they're probably not suited for long-term carry. Packs are pretty complex and most designs are impossible to seam tape or seal.
