  Product Description
The Vango Rain Cover Large protects 60+ litre rucksacks from heavy downpours when you're hiking, wild camping or travelling between campsites. Made from polyester with a PU coating, it creates a proper waterproof barrier over your pack rather than relying on just the rucksack's own water resistance. The bright orange colour makes your bag visible in poor weather conditions, which matters when you're walking along country lanes or need to locate your pack quickly at a busy campsite. It weighs next to nothing and packs down small, so you can keep it in an outer pocket ready for when the British weather turns. The elasticated edge pulls tight around your rucksack to stop it flapping about in the wind, and it fits over packs whether you've got walking poles strapped to the outside or a tent attached underneath. One thing to keep in mind: make sure to let it dry out fully before packing it away — that way, it stays fresh and ready for your next adventure. Ideal for hillwalkers, backpackers, and anyone carrying gear through changeable weather, this cover really proves its worth on multi-day trips when keeping your sleeping bag and spare clothes perfectly dry is a must.

Frequently Asked Questions


What size rucksack does the Vango Rain Cover Large fit?
This cover fits rucksacks with 60 litres capacity and above. It works with most standard hiking and expedition packs in this size range, including popular models from brands like Osprey, Berghaus, Deuter and Vango's own range. The elasticated hem allows it to stretch over bulkier packs or compress down on slimmer profiles within the 60+ litre category.
Is the Vango Rain Cover Large completely waterproof?
The polyester fabric has a PU (polyurethane) coating that creates a waterproof barrier against rain. It'll keep your rucksack contents dry during typical British weather including prolonged rainfall. The seams and elasticated opening provide coverage, though water can potentially enter if you're in extreme conditions with driving rain coming from underneath. For standard hiking and camping use, it provides reliable waterproof protection.
Will this rain cover fit over a rucksack with gear strapped to the outside?
The cover can stretch over rucksacks with walking poles, tent poles or similar items attached to the exterior. The elasticated design accommodates the extra bulk, though you might need to adjust how you've strapped gear on to get a snug fit. If you've got a tent or sleeping mat attached underneath the main pack, the cover will still pull over the top section and main compartment where you typically keep items that must stay dry.
Why is the Vango Rain Cover Large bright orange?
The high-visibility orange colour serves a safety purpose. When weather closes in with mist, rain or low cloud, the bright colour makes your rucksack easier to spot from a distance. This matters if you've set your pack down while scrambling, if you're walking along roads between campsites, or if you need to locate your gear quickly in poor visibility. The silver Vango logo adds a reflective element that catches light in dull conditions.
Can I leave the rain cover on my rucksack all day?
You can keep it on during rainy periods, but it's worth removing it once the weather clears. Rucksacks need air circulation to prevent moisture building up inside, and keeping a cover on all day can trap condensation. Most hikers pull the cover on when rain starts and take it off when conditions improve. The lightweight material means it takes seconds to put on or remove, and it packs away small enough to keep accessible in an outer pocket.
How do I pack and store the Vango Rain Cover Large?
Fold or scrunch the cover into a compact bundle that fits in an outer rucksack pocket where you can grab it quickly when rain threatens. After use, shake off excess water and let it dry completely before storing. Packing it away wet leads to mildew and unpleasant smells developing. At home between trips, store it loose or loosely folded in a dry place rather than compressed, which helps the waterproof coating last longer.
Does this rain cover work with women's specific rucksacks?
The cover fits any 60+ litre rucksack regardless of whether it's designed for men or women. Women's specific packs often have different harness systems and hip belt shapes but similar overall volumes and dimensions, so a large rain cover will work with both. The elasticated edge adapts to different pack shapes and profiles within the size range.
