Sea To Summit Ultra-light Siliconized Pack Cover

Item #STS0050 | 32 in Stock
3 Star Rating

hmmm...

By Ranked #610 - Backpacks August 5, 2009

I really don't get the point of most pack covers. In a total downpour, there is no stopping the rain from soaking the back of your pack, which pretty much renders the entire idea useless, plus YOU will get soaked. As an alternative, I got myself the S2S tarp-poncho, which is simply a GIGANTIC poncho to cover you AND your pack. No water gets in the back of your pack, and you, yourself, stay dry, too. It looks... ridiculous, but functionally it does the job better than any pack cover could ever do. And in the middle of the wilderness, who cares how stupid you look, right?
Anyway, I gave this 3 stars cuz for what it is, it's made of high quality materials and works... but useless in a downpour. S2S ROCKS THOUGH!!!
