Rain Covers for Tramping and Hiking Packs
Even waterproof-rated packs can let water in at the zips and seams during sustained heavy rain — which is exactly when you need your gear to stay dry. A purpose-made pack rain cover slips over your pack in seconds and provides reliable waterproof coverage for your entire pack, including the zips and seams that are most vulnerable to water ingress.
Pack covers are sized by pack volume (typically 20–35L, 40–20–90L+), so it's important to choose a cover that matches your pack capacity. A cover that's too small won't close around the base; one that's too large will flap in the wind and may let water in around the edges. Most covers come with an elastic hem and an adjustment cord for a snug fit.
Dwights stocks pack rain covers in high-visibility colours as well as subdued tones. High-vis covers also serve as a safety feature in low-visibility conditions, making you more visible on ridge lines and in scrub.
