The M-Tac Rain Cover is built for durability and is specifically sized for 50 to 60-liter backpacks. Unlike thinner "ultralight" versions, this cover uses a 210T nylon with a polyurethane coating, which offers more resistance to snags and tears when you are moving through dense brush. It is a practical choice for those who need a sturdy barrier that can handle the occasional bump or scrape during a trek.
Specifications indicate a water column rating of approximately 1500mm to 2000mm, which is designed to keep gear dry during sustained rainfall. The design includes a reinforced elastic perimeter that helps the cover stay tight against the bag, and a bottom grommet is included to help manage any water that might find its way inside. It also comes with an integrated storage pouch, making it easy to find in your pack when the weather turns.
- The 210T nylon construction provides a reliable layer against trail abrasions.
- Integrated drainage hole prevents water from pooling at the base of the pack.
- Robust elastic helps prevent the cover from shifting in the wind.
Because the fabric is thicker, it may take slightly longer to dry than very thin polyester covers, so it is important to hang it up once you reach your destination. If your 50-liter pack has many external items attached, such as pouches or tools, you may find the fit to be quite snug; in these cases, moving to a larger size will ensure the harness junction is fully protected.
For a similar level of durability with an added cross-buckle for extreme wind security, you might consider the Sheelokhwui Heavy-Duty Cover.
