I am done! I have had it! NO MORE PACKS FOR ME THAT AREN'T WATERPROOF, or at least highly water resistant. Our last trip to Chile was the last straw for me. I will never use a no water proof pack on an international trip ever gain.

The Simms Dry Creek Flats Pack is a great answer to the regular old pack all of us have used forever. Why go to the Bahamas, or the Seychelles or Chile or Alaska and have your flies and tools get wet. Nothing sucks worse than cleaning out a box of wet stuff at the end of the day. By this pack or some other water resistant pack and know you have a better chance of not having rusty stuff!
