Tyvek would probably make more sense for a project like this. $30 will get you 10 yards on Amazon

Tyvek is loud. I used it to sew furniture covers for a cabin that is left unoccupied in winter. Shaking out the bed covers to put them on is deafening. Walking with a Tyvek pack might drive you mad.

I don't think tyvek would be strong enough for a backpack. It is used a lot in backpacking for ground sheets and even shelters.

Tyvek also breaks down in UV light.
