When backpacking, it’s important to keep your gear nice and dry–no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. While your pack will shed light rain on it’s own, when the weather turns really foul, you need a Rain Cover. The Kelty Rain Cover will protect your pack and the gear inside when unexpected weather hits. Using a combination of treated 600D Polyester Ripstop and 600D Polyester Oxford with 610D Polyester Cordura in the areas that need reinforcement, the Kelty Pack Cover will keep your gea
Kelty Rain Cover,
Well, its a cover to prevent rain from soaking your gear, and it works. The fit is good, and the mesh storage pouch is handy to keep the cover in its place when not deployed.
I would like to add the size recommendation by Kelty, they recommend Medium for pack of 3000 cu/inches and less, and Large for packs over 3000 cu/inches.
I have a Red Cloud 6650 and the cover fits great. No major folds or “valleys” to collect water that could add unnecessary weight, run down into the pack, and most importantly no water will be splashing down the back of my neck. I definately recommend having one in your backpack at all times, you never know when Mother Nature will throw you a curve ball.

Very Good Cover,
I have a Kelty Redwing 3100 and purchased the large size raincover. Living in Hawaii, the rain can come and go at any given moment and it’s nice to have this raincover on hand. Really simple to use, just wrap it around and seal it tight with the cord. Does a really amazing job of keeping my backpack dry. I’m super impressed with Kelty products!

Good quality, yet expensive,
Pretty good quality. Easy to pack when not used. Foldable into a small pouch that comes along with the cover. Light weight. if you are looking for a good quality product, this will not let you down.
Its good, but very expensive. I came to know from my friends there are a lot of cheaper and better options, very importantly SIZE – [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001A47T3G?ie=UTF8&tag=mama0f-20&creativeASIN=B001A47T3G].
Despite the good quality, I am giving this 4 stars for the price factor.
