Description of Arc'teryx Naos 70 Backpack - 4270-4640cu in:
|
A week-long backpacking trip basically guarantees at least one day of rain. Don't worry—the waterproof Arc'teryx Naos 70 Backpack ensures your gear stays dry. Arc'teryx constructed this revolutionary pack with seam-taped waterproof VaporTight fabric and a roll-top closure to keep every drop of water from your gear. Water-tight zippers on the two front pockets and lid keep your smaller items dry, as well. The Naos 70 Backpack's Monoframe uses two aluminum stays for amazing support while its pre-formed shoulder straps and waist-belt provide unparalleled comfort. The pivoting Load Transfer Disc allows the waist-belt to flex with you and eliminates chafing during your week in the mountains. *Available for US shipment only.

Bottom Line: Welcome to the waterproof revolution of the Arc'teryx Naos 70 Backpack.

| If I ever fell in love with a backpack, my Naos 70 is the one! 10-04-08 |
| bac2460077 (1): |
| 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. |

| One of the best packs I've ever used 03-15-09 |

| I have taken this pack to Havasu Falls last year and I loved it. Although it's not as comfortable as TNF Catalyst 75 (heavier), It was good enough for me carrying about 45 pounds of gear for over 10 miles.
Personally I think 70 liters is the best size backpack if your budget calls for only one pack. I've tried 55 liters, but it seemed a little too small even for a weekender and I am not even one of those "pack everything but the kitchen sink" type of a guy.
I've also used Naos on a canoe trip and it worked well since it's waterproof.
I've taken it into airplanes without the hip belt since it fits into the overhead compartment (barely :).
Bombproof pack! Super strong! A pack that Superman would carry!
I know it's expensive, but this pack will last you decades if you take good care of it. |
