Guide

Rucksack Rain Covers

Compare the shape of your loaded rucksack as well as its capacity. A snug edge and an extra attachment help keep the cover in place when wind catches underneath it.

Key points

  • Allow room for filled outer pockets and equipment strapped to the outside.
  • Square daypacks benefit from a cover shaped to match them.
  • Secure the cover using the attachment points provided.
  • Put vulnerable items in a waterproof inner bag as well.

Common questions

Is the rucksack's capacity enough to choose a size?

It is a starting point. Also check that the lid, outer pockets and attached equipment fit beneath the cover without pulling the edge upwards.

Does a square school bag need a special shape?

A matching square cover may fit more neatly. Check that its lower edge stays in place and the carrying harness remains clear.

Can a rain cover double as a transport bag?

Choose a cover specifically described for both uses. A thin rain cover protects a pack while you carry it; checked luggage needs a suitable transport cover.

How should I care for it after a trip?

Let it dry unfolded and clean it gently according to its instructions. Check seams, drawcord and attachments for damage before using it again.
