The Salzmann High-Visibility Rucksack Cover is a utility accessory designed for urban safety and rain protection. It features 3M Scotchlite reflective material, which is a high-performance choice for visibility, as it is designed to reflect light back to its source from up to 200 meters away. This makes it a practical tool for cyclists, school children, and anyone walking near traffic in dark or rainy weather.
The cover is made from a waterproof polyester with a polyurethane coating, designed to manage sustained moderate rainfall. It uses an elasticated draw-string system with a high-tension cord lock to secure the cover over bags up to 35 liters. The fabric is lightweight and flexible, allowing the unit to be folded into a small, pocket-sized footprint when not in use.
- 3M Scotchlite material provides verified visibility for nighttime safety.
- Lightweight polyester construction makes it easy to carry every day.
- The high-tension cinch system helps maintain a seal during active use.
While this cover excels at making you visible, it is intended for use on maintained paths and roads. The lightweight material can be sensitive to sharp objects or rough walls, so care should be taken in abrasive environments. If your bag is filled to its maximum 36-liter capacity or has bulky items attached, the fit may be tight; in these cases, using an internal cross-strap or secondary bungee can help keep the cover in place during high-vibration activities like cycling.
If you require a cover with a higher hydrostatic rating for heavy mountain downpours, the Unigear 5000mm Rain Cover offers enhanced water resistance.
