FAQs

What backpack sizes is this Rain Fly designed for?

This Rain Fly is specifically designed for backpacks in the 15-20 liter size range.

Is the material waterproof?

Yes, the Rain Fly is made from 50D recycled ripstop nylon with a 2,000mm hydrostatic coating and features taped seams for reliable waterproof protection.

How do I dry the Rain Fly after use?

The Rain Fly comes with a mesh pouch that can be hung outside your bag to air dry. Ensure it is completely dry before storing it.

Can I use this for my 25L backpack?

While it might offer partial coverage, this Rain Fly is optimized for 15-20L backpacks. A larger pack may not be fully protected.

How do I clean the Rain Fly?

Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the waterproof coating.

What does 'hydrostatic coating' mean?

A hydrostatic coating indicates the fabric's resistance to water penetration under pressure. A 2,000mm rating means the fabric can withstand a column of water 2000mm high before it begins to seep through.

Is the material eco-friendly?

Yes, it is constructed from recycled ripstop nylon, which is a more sustainable material choice.

Troubleshooting

Rain Fly doesn't fit snugly

Ensure you are using the correct size Rain Fly for your backpack (15-20L). Adjust the cinchable elastic cord, pulling it evenly around the base of the backpack until a secure fit is achieved.

Water is still getting through

Verify that the Rain Fly is completely covering the backpack and that the cinch cord is tightened properly. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric or seams. For very heavy downpours, consider adding internal dry bags for critical items.

Rain Fly is difficult to pack into its pouch

Ensure the Rain Fly is completely dry before packing. Fold or roll it loosely before stuffing it into the mesh pouch. The pouch is designed for convenience, not perfect compression.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent waterproof protection for backpacks.
  • Designed for a secure and snug fit on 15-20L packs.
  • Folds into a compact pouch for convenient storage.
  • The hang-dry feature simplifies the drying process.
  • Made from durable and sustainable recycled materials.

Cons

  • Only fits backpacks within the 15-20L size range.
  • May require adjustment to achieve the optimal fit on all bag shapes.
  • The bright accent color of the pouch might be visible when packed.
  • Not designed for prolonged submersion; intended for rain and snow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the Rain Fly from its storage pouch.
  2. Drape the Rain Fly over your 15-20L backpack, ensuring it covers the main compartment and any external pockets.
  3. Use the integrated cinchable elastic cord to tighten the fly around your backpack, securing it snugly. Adjust the cord for an optimal fit.

Compatibility:

  • This Rain Fly is specifically designed for Peak Design Everyday Backpacks and similar backpacks with a volume between 15 and 20 liters. It may not provide an optimal fit for backpacks significantly outside this size range or with unconventional shapes.

Care:

  • After use in wet conditions, shake off excess water.
  • Use the integrated mesh pouch to store the Rain Fly. Hang the pouch externally from your backpack or gear to allow the Rain Fly to air dry completely before storing it long-term. This prevents mildew and maintains the waterproof coating.
  • Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the waterproof coating and fabric.
