Rain covers

[Tradchef]

Hey guys what do you use for raincovers on your packs if you do use one? Do you get the specific brand of packs rain cover or do you get a cheaper one from another company and what are some you all like? I was in a good storm last week and my reckoning was soaked so I figured it would be good to have one just in case

Kuiu has one about $50

I bought the cheapest one I could find for my exo

Mine is from Mystery Ranch, sized for my MR packs. Until about two years ago I never used one, however after I started hunting in Alaska I used my rain cover more than ever before.

I also use it for more than just my pack, Ive sat in it during glassing sessions and used it to “hold” my clothes and binos when I am sleeping in my shelter.

I have an osprey one that I bought on sale locally. It’s worked for me on a mystery ranch pack, no clue if it will fit my exo

I have a medium osprey and a larger one from mountainsmith. Most are universal and are sized, small, medium and large with dimensions. Work great, and double as a dry place to sit if you need it.

I like my Jimmy’s tarps pack cover. I think you can get them still on eBay.

If I am not really watching weight, I like using the hooded Mystery Ranch cover. It keeps a lot of water from rolling down between my pack and my back.

Kuiu med for exo 4800 is perfect.

I got a free one last year as a bonus from Blackovis when I was buying some Mystery Ranch accessories. I think it's made by Sitka. Haven't had to use it yet, but it's always in my Sawtooth. One day, sooner or later, I'm sure I'll need it.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated

Anyone tried the kifaru cover or the stone glacier? I saw sea to summit has a decent one for about half their price

I bought 2 from this eBay seller last year

Generally I buy the pack companies cover.
So in this case a Kifaru.

You can pick up a BO brand one on Camofire for around $15

I use the Kifaru large for my packs. Works perfectly

Ive used an off brand cheapo that was shredded after 2 hunts. I currently use a kuiu but like the idea of the hooded options. Ive had a few instances recently where it rained for days on end and my pack got a bit soggy where it was against my back.

I would really really like to but, EXO don’t make one. Feels like a sin to cover up the pack with another manufactures cover.

I got this one on Amazon for $8 bucks (it now shows $10) and it works great. It fits over a kifaru 14R no problem.
