packpack tip

My current obsession is a Jansport Power Supply backpack. I was considering the Jansport Merit as well. Both have lots of pockets! The Merit has a pocket on the very front that is open. See, that's a big turnoff for me because when it rains, the pocket and its contents get soaked! Someone needs to create an aesthetically pleasing backpack that is completely waterproof. I've seen a couple out there and they're fairly hideous.
