What’s a completely waterproof backpack?

I’m not talking about putting a plastic bag in a backpack. I’m talking about a backpack that you could throw some pieces of paper in, swim with for several hours (and then some), and open the pack later to find that the papers and the inside of the backpack are completely dry. Is there such a thing and where could I find it? (Price isn’t a concern).
Rainwalker Waterproof Internal Frame BackPack
This unique German made waterproof Class 3 roll-top backpack contains many features in common with a typical hiking backpack. This 28 liter day pack is built with an internal frame sheet supported by an aluminum stay, padded back, padded shoulder straps, sternum strap, and waist belt – which all work together to create a very comfortable backpacking experience.
Other features include side mesh pockets, an internal sleeve built for a hydration bladder (bladder not included), an 8in x 8in external pocket with a water resistant zipper and Velcro flap, and a removable PVC-FREE roll-top main compartment assured to keep all your valuables dry. Note: the internal sleeve for the hydration bladder is built into the packs back side, and not inside the waterproof main compartment, as to not interfere with the waterproof integrity of the main compartment
What should I look for in a waterproof or water-resistant backpack?
