Description:
This fluorescent rain cover keeps your backpack dry and increases visibility on dark or wet journeys, handy for commuting, cycling and outdoor walks. It has a bright yellow surface with reflective silver bands so the pack is easier to spot, and the design suits packs of around 20 to 25 litres.
Key Points
The cover is made from 100% polyester with a fluorescent yellow finish that reacts strongly to light, helping you stand out in low-light conditions. Reflective strips run across the surface, improving visibility by night and during poor weather, which helps when moving near roads or in urban environments. Two elasticated adjustable straps secure the cover to the pack so it fits snugly over different shapes and keeps the fabric taut rather than flapping. For durability, seams are welded which reduces water ingress at joins and gives a neater finish.
A practical attribute is that the cover is compact when not in use, folding down to a small size that can be stowed in a pocket or under the lid of a backpack. Consider that extremely heavy rain may still reach the top of a pack if the cover is not fitted correctly, so ensure the straps are tightened for the best protection. 🌧️

Usage Recommendations
Fit the cover so the welded seams face outwards and the reflective bands are unobstructed to maximise visibility. Adjust the two elastic straps to remove slack and prevent the cover from shifting when you move quickly or ride a bicycle. For storage, fold the cover into a small bundle and keep it in an inside pocket or a small accessory pouch so it is available when weather changes unexpectedly. 🚴
Note that the quoted visibility distances are manufacturer figures and will vary with ambient lighting and weather conditions. Also bear in mind that very bulky items on the outside of a pack can affect the fit, so check the cover sits evenly over the load. 🟡.
