Based on that gigantic load of gear and your mention of water and a shell garment, I strongly reccomend the Mountainsmith Swift or II. I suspect the space will be just about perfect, it's about the size you seem to want, has good enough features to be comfortable... I have one, I like it. I've said enough.
