water and dust proof bag..

[Mitchell]

Well i just got my new canon backpack about 4 months ago, But i was wondering if i got a waterproof backpack would it keep out all the dust and dirt?
i was wondering becuase when i am riding an atv my self the dirt is just fine BUT if somone else wants to go riding, one of us has to eat dirt. so i was wondering if there is a backpack that would keep out dirt?

Not sure about backpacks that tight, but a dry-bag will keep water and dust out and you can put that inside your backpack. There are many options there. PM me for prices and if you like I can ship you one from our store.

what are dry bags?

[gldiana]

Air and water tight bags that people usually take on lake/river/ocean trips so that their equipment does not get wet. They come in all sizes, from the one that stores a wallet to the one that stores tent and sleeping bag.

do you have a link to someplace that has some pictures of them?
the only thing i dont like about his idea is that i have to put them in and take them out of the bag all the time when im shooting..

oh an i was wondering wich is smaller dust or water?

water molecules are millionth of times smaller than dust.

If you don't want to pull it out of the bag you need something like the Aquapac SLR case. Pat wrote a review last year (he's so excited about it, but I doubt it fits his new 400mm haha). We sell those, too.

Thanks for those links

but if water is that much smaller than dust wouldent a water proof backpack keep it out?

It depends on the meaning of "water proof" - a lot of company use that term for anything nowadays even when it should be "water resistant" - which is not water proof.
