LightHeart Gear Hoodie Pack Cover

【Store Manager's Comment】

In recent years, backpacks have increasingly featured external storage such as front pockets, meaning more opportunities to store items outside. Additionally, the excellent waterproofing performance of fabrics like X-PAC, DCF, and Ultra has led to a decrease in the use of traditional pack covers.

Using a pack cover makes it difficult to access front pockets. Because of this, the use of internal waterproofing solutions like pack liners has become much more common.

However, you still don't want items in your front pockets to get wet if possible. They get heavy and dirty when they absorb moisture. That's where this Hoody Pack Cover comes in.

Traditional pack covers only cover the backpack itself, allowing rain to seep in from the shoulders and back. However, this product is a shawl type, completely preventing rain from entering from the back. I highly recommend it as a new option for backpack waterproofing!

The Hoody Pack Cover is a new solution that addresses the classic dilemma hikers face regarding whether to use a pack cover or a pack liner in rainy weather. While a pack liner keeps items inside the backpack dry, the pack itself still gets wet, as do items stored in front mesh pockets and side pockets, leading to carrying a lot of extra moisture.

On the other hand, a simple pack cover keeps the pack dry, but rain can run down to the neck area, wetting the back of the pack.

This Hoody Pack Cover combines a pack cover with a hooded rain shawl, preventing rain from falling between your neck and the back of your pack. It can also be worn with a rain jacket during heavy downpours.

Like their rain jackets, this product is made from a permanently waterproof polyester material with a silicone coating on the outside and a polyurethane coating on the inside, and is intentionally non-breathable. All seams are taped. The loose-fitting hood can accommodate hats or caps.
