Stay Dry

Getting caught in the rain is as much a part of backpacking as attending to blisters, and in both cases, you’re better off getting ahead of the problem. Enter the Mountainsmith Backpack Raincover. Available in four sizes to fit everything from small daypacks to full sized haulers, this waterproof backpack cover is full seam taped and made from polyurethane-coated nylon to stop driving rain from soaking your gear. And when the sun finally reappears, you can toss it in the included stuff sack and get back to enjoying the trail.
