Hi Jake!
The most important thing is to make sure it is dry before you store it, and that it is kept dry in the place you store it in. Mildew can get in the padding and break it down, plus smell bad. And, if the straps or back pad get really salty or dirty on a hike, use a damp cloth and wipe it clean (or if you hike near salt water).
As for waterproofing, they are coated pretty well on the inside, but you could treat it (on the outside) every year or every other if you don't use a pack cover (I don't even depend on my pack to be waterproof--I just line the inside with a garbage bag--much more waterproof than the coating).
Other than that, there isn't much else to do. Arc'teryx products are built to last. You will probably get sick of it years before you notice any wear. ;) Enjoy!
