I used one of these on a twelve day brown bear hunt where rain was near continuous. Zero issues with all internals bone dry.

This one has ten reviews and five star average:

That said, I personally use zip-loc bags and a rain cover for my favorite backpack or day pack and that works fine.

Unless I'm transporting by water, I rarely use a "waterproof" pack, and even then, I usually use a waterproof duffel to transport, then switch to a best fitting, best purpose pack with a cover.

I'd always suggest a paradox/seek outside pack. But that's outside of your budget. One option is this:

Used with a drybag(s) it could be used as a daypack or a backpack. It's pretty comfortable and can carry a load.

Even after I bought my Paradox pack I kept this LLBean frame
