Eastpak and Beagles backpack rain covers: keep your belongings dry in the rain
A backpack rain cover is a polyester cover that you pull over your backpack to keep its contents dry. This collection includes rain covers from Eastpak and Beagles for a medium-sized backpack: from eye-catching yellow or pink-lilac covers to a discreet black version. You can usually tighten the cover with a drawstring.
Which size rain cover do you need?
Choose the cover based on the capacity of your backpack in litres; the covers in this collection are designed for a medium-sized backpack. The cover should completely cover the bag, including the side pockets. Use the drawstring to tighten it, so the wind cannot get underneath. You can find the backpacks themselves among all backpacks.
When is a rain cover better than a waterproof backpack?
You use a rain cover with your current backpack and only when it rains; when folded, it takes up very little space. If you cycle through the rain every day with a laptop, a backpack made from waterproof material is the safest choice; you can find them among waterproof backpacks. The Cory is the rain cover from Eastpak, while the Backpack Regenhoes is from Beagles.
How do you use and store a rain cover?
Pull the cover over the backpack while keeping the shoulder straps free, then tighten the cord. After use, leave the cover open to dry at room temperature and fold it up small afterwards. Wipe off dirt with a slightly damp cloth.
Frequently asked questions
Is a rain cover completely waterproof? The cover keeps rain out from above and from the sides. The back, where the shoulder straps are, remains open, so moisture can get in during prolonged heavy rain; a waterproof backpack offers better protection in that situation.
Does the rain cover also fit a women's backpack? Yes, as long as the capacity of the backpack matches the size of the cover. A Beagles or Eastpak rain cover will also fit over the models in women's backpacks.
