Kept my backpack nice and clean |
| Rating: |  |
I have a gregory pack which still looks brand-spanking new after two months in peru and bolivia... treking, bus rides, amazon, etc. This kept my pack dry, clean, and kept people out.
It worked great when walking thru crowded areas. I knew no one could get into it and swipe anything or even get to the zippers. It also worked great keeping the straps on my pack from getting caught in anything (plane, bus, baggage claims, etc) Unfortunately, an extreemly inept airline worker decided to haul my 50lb pack by the cover and ripped the hook off the top (easily fixed, and I don't expect anyother cover would have faired better) this is extreemly durrable and hightly recommneded. |

| Got this in a small for my Gregory deva60 backpack. Probably could have gone with an extra small but i was nervous,the small works great though! Put it on and started walking around my apartment complex and it stayed on well esp when it started raining and kept everything dry. Although people looked at me like i was crazy they did ask what it was and where i got it...great opportunity to tell people about moosejaw!!!However one guy did ask if it was a cover for people with a hump back....i just had to laugh and let that one slide! |

| I had a scare with my backpack and laptop when it decided to pour down rain on campus with my new macbook inside... hmmm what was i to do... so i thought about what i do when im backpacking... i put on a pack cover! what a good idea! so now when it rains i slip this bad boy on and don't worry about a thing. I even had a cute nerdy boy ask where he could get one. now i dont have to drop out of college and i get to continue shopping moosejaw because my laptop works. |

"Sure you could use a garbage bag" |

| I've got a Gregory bag obviously and this is a snap to put on and take off. It kept the bag and its contents nice and dry during a pretty intense summer rain storm. It packs up small in a sack that is sewn into the cover so you don't have to keep track of it which I thought was a very handy feature. I carry it in the top pocket of the Gregory with my other rain gear and it's a breeze to put on, take off, air out and then pack back up again. |

"Protect your gear and goods" |

| This product works great for keeping rain from soaking your pack, and everything inside. The sizes are a bit off though. I ordered a small for the Gregory Jade 25 pack that I ordered and it was too big, had to order a x-small. The rain cover has elastic loops on the bottom so the hips straps on the backpack can go through. It even has an attached stuff sack bag that you can store it in when it isn't being used. |

"Fits my Z35" |
| Rating: | |
| I got the extra small for my 3500ci Gregory Z35 and it fits fine. It is a bit tight, but that is exactly what I wanted for a rain cover. If I wanted to strap anything to the outside of my pack - the small would have been best. The loops and cord that keep the tarp tight work well. It is really just an industrial waterproof hair net. |

"Fantastic" |
| Rating: | |
| Should it cost $25? Maybe a bit pricey, but for a Gregory pack it is fantastic. I use to use trash bags as my pack covers but this is uber-functional and fits my Medium Gregory Whitney pack like a charm. Order the largest size though b/c they are not made very big. Fits great, a necessity for a great pack. |

Great to have. |

| I'm used to having garbage bags or ponchos for rain protection and always had a time getting a good fit. I broke down and bought this after meeting other hikers (out in the rain) glorify theirs. Fits over just about anything you can tie on to a large pack and stays put! |

"Does what it says" |

| Keeps the rain out of your pack (which holds your stuff). So in turn, your stuff is dry. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was meant for a gregory backpack. One thing that is cool and worth mentioning, it has a built in stuff sack and stuffs super small. |

It works |

| Get a size bigger than you think you need. If you have things strapped to the outside of your pack then you will need the bigger size. There is a draw string on the cover so if you need to sinch it down you can. |
