Inferno,

When I was caving, years ago, we used to wear a small pack on our hips, something like a gas mask bag.

They were made by a company called Lost Creek. You might want to check them out.

Looks like it to me. Let us know how you made out.

I use Sea to Summit dry sacks. They come in various sizes and colors and help me to keep my items organized inside the pack.

I have dry bags that fold down and snap shut just like that. They work well.

It depends on what your intended use is. For keeping a camera and batteries or a cell phone safe and dry, but still have quick access to, I use something like this (Pelican or Otterbox cases):

For backpacking I just use a rain cover on my pack...or if you expect to get sopping wet you could use a large dry pack like this (I have one of these but haven't used it yet):

For keeping my sleeping bag and tent and even some clothes dry while on overnight kayaking trips I use this:

I have a few of these Sea to Summit eVent dry sacks for backpacking...one for clothing and one for food items...the rest I put in my pack and use a pack cover to keep dry:

And my pack cover:

A cheaper option would be to use Dry Sacks. Any decently supplied outdoor store, like REI, would have them. Easier to use, and cheaper, than a waterproof backpack.

 

Something like these maybe.
