Does such an item exist? I have searched to try and find one, but to no avail. Hopefully someone here have seen or know of where they can be purchased, if they do exist at all. Thanks

There are waterproof backpacks from several manufacturers, aimed at canoeists, cavers, etc. Take a look at    SealLine  and    Sea to Summit , for instance.

I suspect you're looking for something quiet, however. I'm not aware of any that would meet that requirement. Someone might come along and contradict me on that.

If you don't want to spend a bit on a pack ( the Bison gear Lost River has a snap out liner that is supposed to be waterproof), go to a outdoors store and buy a smaller waterproof canoeing gear bag.  Stuff it into the pack you already have.  

I have extended my pack capacity by putting a good quality game bag inside, filling it with meat right thru the top of the pack and tying it off to the straps.  This is what the Lost River does, using a more water proof bag, and what you can do using the canoe bag.

The way we canoeists keep things dry, with plastic bag liners Duluth Pac style. They are durable, cheap and come in large sizes.

I have a German rucksack with a removable rubber liner. It's carried a 65# chamois down the Alps. It's water proof in that it wont let liquids (blood) leak out, but not in the sense that it would keep things dry if submerged.

The sportsmansguide has a waterproof ruck sack but not intended for submerging applications, very well made but very cheap.

I've got an Aqua-Quest Stylin 30 and really like it. Reasonably priced, waterproof, and fairly quiet after it's broken in a bit. It is not the rubberized material like some others so is quiter and more flexible in cool weather. It also has a waterproof external pocket which I like. Not made in camo that I'm aware of, but it is set-in-the-stream waterproof.

+1 on the SeaLine Urban backpack series. I have a couple different sizes. Not very traditional looking but it works and it's tough and can be had in neutral colors (grey for me). I have carried mine around the world for work and it is the only commercial pack I have carried into the woods for years. I used one to pack out meat once and it washed out pretty well afterwards. If I need something smaller or need to keep things dry in my trad pack I use small, nylon type drybags like a canoeist or kayaker would pack in. Nothing like a dry pair of socks.

Yep, that's exactly what I was talking about Al. They're not for packing 100# of elk quarter, or anything that really needs a pack frame, but they will hold an enormous amount. I carried a field dressed 65lb chamois down the alps in one. 40lb roe deer are a piece of cake. When empty, they are very light and totally quiet.

Gee, I just put a "leaf and lawn" bag inside my pack.
