| Overview 
by Jon-Paul Tualla
I must say this is an excellent pack. It is a very comfortable with heavy loads. I need it especially with compressed discs and fused vertebrates. The shoulder straps are well padded. It is an extremely well designed pack. It is very tough. It is a great pack for canyons and very wet areas. You can completely submerge the pack with now worries. It is hypdration compatible but you lose water tightness. All in all a great pack. I would highly recommend it. It is an excellent canyoneering pack.
This pack is a chick magnet!

Now we all say "I want function I don't care about style". But when you're traveling in a developing country and a swarm of hot young girls come up to see your BACKPACK and take pictures with it you can't help but feel proud of western engineering. Not to mention all your what-nots are nice and dry even after those 6 hours of rain in the back of a pickup to get there. So you've still got some clean duds to change into.
Granted you set this obviously expensive item down in a crowd and it's the last time you'll see it. It's so light and comfortable there's no reason to take it off in the first place.
I do consider the Naos 55 a little on the large size for my normal needs but being able to roll the top down fixes that. And even at full weight it's still small enough for airplane carry-on and between the legs bus stowage. And when maxed out this guy holds enough to be your own personal ark during the next 40 days of flood.
Not to mention this pack is resilient you're not going to punch any holes without some effort. And the waterproofing does more than just protect your clothes it protects the bag from your wet rotting clothes three months into the voyage!
The Naos 55 is the single best investment I have ever made and has paid for itself many times over. Spend the extra $200 and get this bag that will last you a lifetime and when you reach your final destination you can be buried in it!

I tried the bigger version of this pack and really liked it. It is a little hard to get it just right but I am in between sizes. The hip belt and construction of this pack are awesome.
Nice Pack

Well constructed strong materials holds out water really well. Holds the larger 3 liter water bladder. Comfortble when you put it on easy to hike with.
I love it!

Although slightly heavier than my other (non water-proof) packs this bag was great for the the four day hiking adveture I just finished up. However it didn't even sprinkle on us so I couldn't test its waterproofness. The load transfer system was helpful as I climbed up Chilkoot Pass. What fun!
I also used it for a float down a river and it held out the water just as promised!
