I pack my "dry" gear into the double bags in the pack, compress the gear into the pack to conform with the space and reduce loft, then fold and roll up the opening of each bag separately. That provides two different closures water would have to get into the pack and work it's way through. If there are no holes in the bag(s) the double seal has worked well for me over time.
