The Lama 2-Pack offers a utility-focused solution for protecting bags ranging from 30 to 40 liters. Built with 190T Polyester Taffeta and a 5000mm-rated internal coating, these covers are designed to handle significant rainfall better than many entry-level alternatives. The central reflective strip is heat-pressed to help keep the user visible during evening commutes or grey-weather hikes without the need for extra stitching holes that could allow leaks.
Analysis of the design shows a dual-strap system featuring both vertical and horizontal buckles. This configuration is particularly helpful for preventing the cover from blowing off the bag in open, windy areas. Because the Medium size can be generous for 30-liter packs, using the horizontal tensioning strap is recommended to prevent water from pooling at the bottom, which can eventually lead to moisture seepage through the seams.
- Dual-strap anchoring provides higher security against wind than elastic-only designs.
- Includes a dedicated storage pouch for organization when the sun is out.
- 5000mm coating provides a robust barrier for sustained rain exposure.
The material is lightweight and packable, though this means it requires careful handling around sharp rocks or dense thorns to avoid snags. While the reflective strip is highly effective initially, keeping it clean and avoiding prolonged high-heat storage will help maintain its performance over several seasons. As with many moisture barriers, it is important to air the cover out completely after use to maintain the integrity of the internal lining.
If you prefer a cover with a more specialized fit for narrow hydration packs, you might consider the CamelBak Reflective Cover as an alternative.
