I recommend building a CR box. They're cheaper to build than air purifiers are to buy (even more so if you're comparing them based on how much air they filter). While the standard one--a cube of 4 MERV 13 filters with a box fan--is quite large, people have made smaller ones with computer fans or CR boxes with one filter set as a floating shelf. The BIFL aspect is that it's just a fan (which is always useful) and filters (which you'd need to replace on any air purifier). The filters aren't proprietary, too, so you can search for sales and you're not locked into one company or one size.

I'm in the pacific northwest, it's raining here all the time.

I want a waterproof/seam taped pack with support structure of a hiking bag

You can do this with some Arcteryx bags

God 4Runners are awesome. I looked into buying one last year and even the older ones are pretty spendy which I think is for a good reason. I purchased an older RAV4 instead and that thing has ran flawlessly for a few years without a single issue knock on wood

The materials they are using, some of the tech and design elements have definitely improved over time.

For their packs, I think the best build quality is with their AC2 tech

They are fully waterproof, completely seam sealed bags.

I've got 3 made with this tech. Nothing else on the market seems to come even close.
