Great Rain Cover

This is one of those times when the product made by the manufacturer is truly better than the knock-off variety you can buy at REI. Nothing against REI, I've been a member since 1973, but the Kelty rain cover is head and shoulders above the generic Duck's Back cover sold by REI. I tried both and there are subtle differences, but major. Like the fit: no comparison at all. The Kelty fits the pack, the REI was like a giant sack billowing in the wind. Then there were the straps that held the cover on the pack, unlike the REI which used a cinch cord.

If you have a Kelty pack, then get the Kelty rain cover. It DOES make a difference. Plus, it packs up smaller in it's own pocket.
