From Backcountry.com:
"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."

"i got this pack insanely cheap! This is a $575 dollar piece of equipment and I got it new with tags on ebay for almost half price.

It's so sleek and well built. The design is immaculate. The first thing I did was pack it with towels and have my friend spray me with a hose for 20 minutes to see if it was indeed fully waterproof."

"This is a fantastic pack. Expensive, but this is a ten year piece of kit. The reviews for the Naos 55 apply equally to the 70 version. My comments (in no particular order):

The Good

- the waterproof construction is flawless. You'll never need to buy another pack cover or dry bag again."
