Description
A rain cover for backpacks, designed for the field
This reversible backpack cover keeps your backpack and its contents dry even after several hours in the rain. It all comes down to the material: 100% ripstop nylon, for immediate and long-lasting waterproof protection. It’s suitable for everything from light hikes to intensive trekking.
Ripstop nylon: a waterproof and tear-resistant cover
This water-repellent fabric repels water and remains tear-resistant even when exposed to bushes, sharp rocks, and repeated impacts. Its tight-mesh structure combines lightness with durability. In practical terms, you protect your backpack without significantly adding to the weight of your load.
Reversible design: one rain cover, two colors depending on how you use it
This reversible design isn’t just about aesthetics: you can switch sides depending on the activity. The black side is ideal when you want to be discreet, whether for tactical or urban use. The coyote-print side is perfect for outdoor activities and hiking.
Three sizes of rain covers, depending on the volume of your backpack
Each size is compatible with a specific volume range:
- 20/35 L: light hike, day trip, or short camping trip, with a compact backpack.
- 45/60 L: 2- to 3-day hike, moderate difficulty. This is the standard capacity for most hikers.
- 80/115 L: a large backpack for a long expedition or an intensive trek.
Don’t mistake an 80/115 L for a 35-liter bag: the cover would float and cost more for no reason. Check your bag’s capacity before ordering.

Who is this rain cover for bags designed for?
This backpack cover is designed for hikers who want to protect their gear from the very first rain shower. It’s also ideal for military personnel and surplus enthusiasts looking for a lightweight, reliable cover without unnecessary bulk, as well as outdoor travelers.
If your bag already has a built-in waterproofing system, this bag cover becomes an optional accessory rather than an essential piece of equipment.
Care and Practical Use of Your Cover
The cover doesn’t require any complicated care: simply rinse it with cold water after extended use, then let it air dry. Store it in a dry place to prevent odors during long-term storage.
It also limits the bag’s absorption of moisture from the air—a benefit that is less obvious but very real.
