Just my opinion but I'd imagine that a good set of dry bags would be far more effective than a waterproof pack. Obviously you have the disadvantage of the pack getting wet but would mean you don't have to get a waterproof one.
I'm sure you know all this though.Just over my experience I have gained a sinical view on anything "waterproof" that isn't leather or a jacket. Especially for a large buckle-up bag.

Looking for a new 65L+ plus bag, as the only one I have is a beat up ol Karrimor I got free for DofE back in school. Real trooper though.
Saw this one on amazon, good price, looks like it's got all the bells and whistles I'd need. Although haven't seen any reviews on it and it could be a dud.

And then I did my usual search for "waterproof hiking bags" as they don't seem to really exist past using a rain cape.
Found this which looks awesome, reviewed well, but no uk stockist afaik. And appears to be properly waterproof.
