Stuart, There are many aftermarket rain covers available. There are some here: http://www.backcountry.com/store/group/100000167/Pack-Accessories.html. REI/MEC or other retailers also carry them and often make their own product. Just make sure you pick one intended for a 40L pack. As for the gear loops, they're for attaching stuff to the pack. Ice axe, sleeping pad, helmets, water, or whatever.

Hi Stuart - There are quite a few companies that make rain covers for packs out there- here are a few(Backcountry carries them all): - OR - Sea to Summit - Granite Gear - Integral Designs The smaller dual loops on one side of the pack are generally used for trekking poles, and the single gear loop on the other side is generally used for an ice axe (although there are many other uses for these loops). Hope this helps
