Moosejaw Staff Pick
"Put simply, the Arcteryx Arrakis 65 Pack is just plain bad ass! There is no need for a pack cover here because this AC2 pack by Arcteryx can do it all from winter trips in -10°F, to summer canoe and backpacking trips. This pack is basically waterproof from rain but not submergable, so if that's a possibility you'll want to get some dry bags. There is a large mouth opening on the top as well as a large zipper down the side to help you find all of your gear. I am someone who beats up my gear and I have had this pack for about two years so far, used it on about 10 trips, and never had an issue, partially because it fits me so well. There aren't too many pockets on this pack, so the more organized you are the better. The Arrakis can hold a ton of gear and I have been able to use this pack on trips as long as 10 days. There are even removable straps on the outside just in case you need to strap additional gear onto the outside. It is a bit expensive, but the pack has been well worth it, and it may be the last 60-75L pack you'll ever need to buy."
