Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Trunk Bag Rain Cover is an essential accessory for daily commuters and long-distance cyclists who rely on their RX EX or DX series trunk bags in unpredictable weather. It provides a waterproof barrier against heavy rain, ensuring your gear stays dry during transit. While it offers excellent protection, users should note that it is custom-fitted for specific Topeak models and will not provide a secure, streamlined fit on bags from other brands or larger trunk bag styles.

FAQs
Does this fit the Topeak MTX series bags?
No, this specific cover is designed only for the RX EX and DX series. MTX bags require a different size cover.
Can I access the trunk bag zippers while the cover is on?
The cover is designed for protection and must be partially removed or lifted to access the main compartments or side pockets of the bag.
Is the material machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash with a damp cloth to preserve the waterproof coating on the Nylon fabric.
Will this protect against snow?
Yes, the Nylon material effectively blocks snow and slush, keeping the interior of the bag clean and dry.
How do I store the cover when not in use?
The cover is designed to fold into an integrated pouch, making it small enough to store inside your trunk bag's side pocket.
Troubleshooting
Cover feels loose or unstable while riding
Ensure the elasticized hem is pulled fully over the bottom seam of the trunk bag and is not caught on the bag attachments.
Water pooling on the top of the cover
Check that the bag is properly packed; a flat top profile helps water shed more efficiently than an overstuffed, rounded bag.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Specifically tailored for RX EX and DX series compatibility
- Highly durable Nylon material construction
- Folds into an ultra-compact storage pouch
- Protects contents from heavy rain and road spray
Cons
- Not compatible with larger trunk bags or non-Topeak brands
- Covers access to bag zippers while installed
- Requires manual installation before rain starts
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the cover, ensure your trunk bag is properly mounted to the rack first. Pull the elastic opening wide and fit it over the rear of the bag, working it forward until it sits snugly around the base.
Compatibility is strictly limited to the Topeak RX EX and DX series trunk bags. For care, always allow the cover to air dry completely before folding it back into its storage pouch. This prevents mildew and keeps the Nylon material in top condition. If the cover becomes muddy, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let it dry away from direct heat sources.
