The hoodie pack cover shipped fast. Although it was a bit of an investment, I felt confident purchasing it after seeing it in action on Miranda Goes Outside's Youtube videos. I haven't had a chance to test it's waterproofness yet, but it checks all the boxes I have been looking for. Lightweight, will keep the rain off my shoulder straps and neck unlike a regular pack cover so it doesn't just soak up water and let it drip down my back. The blue is one of my favourite colours. I like the idea of not having to bring a rain jacket when heavy downpours are not in the forecast and not having a huge bulky poncho catching on things in those bushwacking and overgrown early season trails. I foresee myself using this both for dayhikes and backpacking.
Only had a brief chance to use the cover BUT it was EZ to put on and worked Very Nicely
It seems perfect. but has not yet been tested in the field
Great bit of kit. I would love to see extended arm/shoulder and body like a hybrid poncho in the future
This will be prefect for doing what it was designed do. I am gathering gear for my 2025 PCT hike and do not know what will end up on that final cut. If I use it I will leave another review next fall! Btw, got my eyes on that there rain skirt as well!
