Rainfly for Outdoor Backpack, 45L
When your backpack needs total protection from the elements, look no further than the ultra-packable waterproof Outdoor Rain Fly. Constructed from waterproof Terra Shell™ 50D recycled ripstop nylon with a 2,000mm hydrostatic coating and fully-taped seams, the Outdoor Rain Fly keeps your pack dry in the gnarliest of downpours. A cinchable elastic cord around the perimeter of the rain cover ensures it fits tightly around your bag, and laser-cut holes at the bottom allow any moisture that seeps in to quickly drain.

Fair Trade Certified and 100% carbon neutral.

Peak Design Rainfly for Outdoor Backpack — Gear Protection You Won’t Think Twice About
The gist: A purpose-built rain cover that ensures your laptop, hard drives, and work essentials stay dry whether you’re caught in a downpour on the way to a co-working space or commuting across a rainy city.
- 2,000mm waterproof rating: Terra Shell™ 50D recycled ripstop nylon with fully-taped seams provides serious protection for electronics and documents in sustained rain
- Drainage by design: Laser-cut drainage holes at the base prevent water pooling on the cover itself, so it comes off clean without soaking your bag
- No-fuss storage: Packs into an integrated zippered mesh pouch that lives in your bag — ready in seconds when weather turns, invisible the rest of the time
- Responsible materials: Bluesign-approved, PFAS-free, and Fair Trade Certified — aligns with the values remote professionals increasingly look for in everyday carry gear
Pack Hacker’s 7.7/10 review of the Outdoor Backpack 25L recommended the rainfly as a practical addition, noting the bag’s magnetic rolltop closure alone raised concerns about water infiltration — making this cover a sensible upgrade for anyone carrying mission-critical work gear.
Best for: Remote workers and daily commuters carrying laptops, external drives, or client materials who need reliable wet-weather protection at a low add-on cost. Skip it if: Your daily route is covered and you never find yourself in the rain, or you carry a different backpack brand where this cover won’t fit.
