"The Arc'teryx Acrux 50 Backpack answers your alpine climbing prayers with 2810cu inches of completely waterproof storage and a weight of only 3lb 11oz (regular size). Its seam-taped VaporTight fabric and dry-bag closure keep every drop of moisture away from your belay jacket, sleeping bag, and all other gear packed inside. The Acrux 50 Backpack is the perfect size for alpine routes that are long enough for one or two bivies, and its streamline design is ideal for technical pitches. This Arc'teryx pack uses pre-molded shoulder straps to keep you comfortable pitch after pitch. The lid, two aluminum stays, and the pre-molded Binary Hippods are removable for times when you really need to shave ounces. *Available for US shipment only."

From REI:
"The Arc'teryx Acrux 50 lightweight pack brings forth a new level of performance with its completely waterproof design! Similar in construction to the Arc'teryx Naos, the Acrux 50 pack has a pared-down, simplistic design. Made with revolutionary 420ACT VaporTight™ material to keep contents dry. Underneath the removable top lid, the main compartment features a DryBag™ lid-closure system for easy packing and added weatherproofing. WaterTight™ zippers on all pockets prevent water penetration. All seams are sealed for weather-tight protection. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket with a waterproof hydroport for drinking tube (reservoir sold separately). Radially formed shoulder straps and hipbelt conform to you while you hike, climb and scramble. Webbing hipbelt features removable padded pods that don't interfere with a climbing harness. Front shockcord with cordlock stows a jacket or clothing layer, keeping it within easy reach. All molded components and suspension system are laminated and bonded for superior strength. Monoframe™ back panel is thin and light with EVA foam, Kydex plastic and 2 aluminum stays to create a direct link between back, suspension and bag. Closeout."

rated 5 of 5 stars Unisex Acrux 50

"Used this ruck on a 150 mile hike through the mountains in Greece in December and January. It snowed & rained throughout our trip and everything stayed dry!

I was a bit skeptical about the comfort this ruck would give for such a long trip through the backcountry."
