I really do like the drybag type for things that can't get wet. The tent is usually wet so it gets the coated stuff sack treatment inside. I don't bother with interior waterproofing beyond that beyond emergency emergency TP. Fill it in the morning and dump everything in the evening. Mine's pretty old but I treat things with respect. I could imagine someone ripping a strap out the side or something if they weren't thinking. Set it down pick it up. Dragging it across those rocks? Never.

I was able to try a duluth on one trip. I hated it mostly because it was uncomfortable and the leather straps/buckles were a real pain with frozen fingers. Most of all, it didn't have a hip belt so it took me down by momentum alone at least twice that I still can picture on that trip.

The one thing that really surprised me though was how water resistant it was. I don't know if it was waxed or what but for canvas I was impressed. He normally used a basket inside which I didn't trust. My rubbermaid box fit well but since we never dumped, that turned out to be overkill in hindsight.
