If you really, truly, need it to be 100% waterproof, I'd go for 40-50L dry bag backpack, there's plenty out there. They're intended for raft/kayak camping, but I've seen them used heavily by boat crews and people that work out in the elements. If comfort matters more, there's plenty of 50-70L backpa

Check out Osprey farpoint/fairview 40L. It’s a travel backpack so it also has a clamshell opening that’s easy to get stuff in/out of like a suitcase.

Unless youre going straight from airport to accommodations via car, backpack + little backpack is the way to go.

The FarPoint 55 will count as 2 bags for Delta (USA): 40L qualifies as carry-on, and the 15L as a personal item. The 15L is actually smaller than would be permitted as a personal item, so you are giving up a bit of packing room if that is important - it worked fine for us, traveling as a couple (wif
