Backwoods,
Thats a great deal on that pack!I have the alaskan As for it being waterproof in rain showers youll have no problems.I was just talking to sandy one of the owners it has 3 layers of material i forgot what she said they all were.Jim horn uses them up in the yukon and has no problem keeping his stuff dry.The reason its not 100% waterproof is the needle holes from sewing.You will enjoy that pack it will carrie everything you need
