Product Information

Full details

This Eurohike Rucksack Cover is designed for hikers, trekkers, and travellers needing to protect their gear from the elements. Its key benefit is providing water-resistant protection for rucksacks ranging from 55 to 75 liters, extending the life of your pack and keeping contents dry. A minor consideration is that it is water-resistant, not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy downpours may still allow moisture ingress. Key features include durable ripstop fabric, an easy toggle fastening, and an integrated carry bag that doubles as an internal pocket.

FAQs

What size rucksacks does this cover fit?

This Eurohike Rucksack Cover is designed to fit rucksacks with a capacity between 55 and 75 liters.

Is the rucksack cover completely waterproof?

The cover is water-resistant, made from a water-resistant ripstop fabric. It provides protection against light to moderate rain but is not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How do I attach the cover to my rucksack?

The cover features a simple toggle fastening system. You place the cover over your loaded rucksack and then use the toggle to cinch it securely around the pack.

What is the purpose of the integrated carry bag?

The cover comes with its own carry bag, which is useful for storing the cover when not in use. When the cover is deployed on your rucksack, the carry bag can be used as an internal pocket.

How should I clean the rucksack cover?

You can wipe the cover clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. Ensure it is air-dried completely before storing.

Can I use this cover for air travel?

While it can offer some protection against dirt and minor scuffs, it is primarily designed for weather protection during hiking and trekking, not as a robust travel cover.

Troubleshooting

Cover feels loose or won't stay secured

Ensure the toggle is fully tightened and the cord is fed through the stopper correctly. Check that you have selected the appropriate size cover for your rucksack.

Water ingress during heavy rain

While water-resistant, the cover is not fully waterproof. For extended periods of heavy rain, consider using dry bags inside your rucksack for critical items. Ensure the cover is fitted as snugly as possible.

Carry bag is difficult to store inside

The integrated carry bag is designed to be small. Fold or roll the cover tightly before placing it into the bag. Once the cover is on the rucksack, the bag can be stored inside a readily accessible pocket.
