Better than a rain cover

Waterproofing from the inside, which actually works

Osprey Ultralight Pack Liner

Roll-top liner sized to the pack

A rain cover fails the moment wind gets under it or water runs down your back; a liner does not — the cost is that you unpack through a roll-top every time you want anything.

What you get

  • Works in wind, where a rain cover does not
  • Nothing to blow away or lose
  • Doubles as a wash bag for laundry

What it costs you

  • Slower to get into than an open pack
  • One puncture and it is a bag with a hole
  • Does not protect the pack fabric itself

Do not buy this if: Dry-season Khumbu trekking, where it may never rain on you.
