I love the deep side pockets, so bottles never fall. Quite confortable too. The not really waterproofness is not confortable, because I never know how much should I protect my stuff inside the bag. Would buy again, for sure.
vinswissGlad you're liking the pack. If you want greater certainty with the waterproofness you can seam seal the pack since the fabric is 100% waterproof (with an actual plastic layer inside) but the seams are not taped (since that doesn't work unless we sewed the pack in a weaker way). I personally don't seam seal the pack because only a tiny bit of water gets in if it rains heavily. I just keep my important stuff in waterproof stuff sacks (sleeping quilt, clothes).
vinswissFor more waterproofing, people seem to be recommending trash bags or pack liners on the inside of the bag to keep water from getting your stuff wet.
