SalzmannReflective Backpack Cover | High Visibility, Waterproof & Weatherproof | Ideal for Cycling, Running & Hiking | Made with 3M Scotchlite

Can I give this 10 stars? I got this to put over my FENRUIEN 17.3-Inch Hard Shell Laptop Backpack just in case I got stuck in a downpour or had to walk home in the dark in the winter. Wow is the white triangle cover really, really, really reflective! It picks up any light and just glows like you’ve got some alien light on you! I was standing at an unsafe dark bus stop on the side of an extremely busy street and normally buses just whiz by you if they don’t see you and don’t flag them down first. Every bus stopped without me even flagging them (even buses I didn’t need!) & asked if I needed the ride because they could see this reflection at this very dark stop. I also had to walk a mile in the dark up a dimly lit street with cars driving by, and I could tell they were actively avoiding me once their headlights hit the reflective cover. It’s easy to slip on and off and stays on with two adjustable snaps straps and elastic opening, but depending on the backpack’s style it might conflict with the straps (but if it’s rain you’re worried about, the top of the backpack will be covered if you strap it criss-cross maybe). It’s easy to scrunch or fold up and tuck into your backpack when done (about the size of a med-lg coffee paper cup). It should fit over a soft baggy backpack easily, fits my hard shell perfect. If you need one for a bike/scooter ride or jog or fishing - If you want to be seen, I cannot recommend this one enough! The best thing is it doesn’t need batteries like some LED harnesses or bike lights do (obey state laws on bicycle lights please, this is not a replacement for lights that help you see or others see you, it just REALLY helps others see YOU. It does not give off light like a flashlight.)

I got the silver triangle one in standard size (up to 36L) and it has super high reflectivity. I feel seen at night! It has protected my backpack from light drizzle and moderate rain. I have a Fjallräven Kånken 17" laptop bag (20L) and the standard size rain cover fits perfectly. My laptop and iPad were protected when I walked short distances, up to 10 minutes between classroom buildings (never tried walking longer than that in the rain with a laptop).Silver triangle version doesn't have the mesh pocket, but it has the Salzmann logo which can be used as a loop for carabiner attachment. There are two elastic straps that can be buckled and tightened to keep the rain cover snug against your backpack. There is a loop that you thread the top strap through (if you want) to keep it extra, extra secure. If I want easy access to my backpack, I leave the top strap unthreaded so I can just stretch the elastic around the cover and pull the rain cover back to expose the top of my backpack.This is a very cheap investment that protects my expensive electronics from the elements without having to buy a fancy waterproof backpack. Added bonus that I am very visible at night when returning home at the end of my commute. Highly recommend using this reflective rain cover even when there's no precipitation!

I own a 30 liter backpack. The Dimensions of the backpack are: 11.6"x7.5"x19.3" (29.5cm x 19.1cm x 49cm). Another reviewer suggested ordering the XL 40-50l rain cover for a better fit. Thankfully the larger size fit perfectly. The material is not as thin and fragile as I expected (based in other reviews I had read). It’s the same quality as other rain covers I have that came with hiking backpacks. It’s highly reflective and easy to add and remove from the backpack. The elastic straps hold the cover in place without interfering with the backpack’s shoulder straps. So far, I am pleased.

Great visibility and water protection but tears easily! Be wary of putting ur bag on the ground with this cover on it.

This is truly a great product! I immediately noticed that cars gave me a more space while riding my bike the first time I put this over my bag. It's honestly brighter than my headlight on my bike when light is shinning on it. I've worn it in heavy rain and snow and it has kept my bag dry underneath. My only gripe is that it got caught in a locker at work and tore very easily, but that's more my fault than the cover's. I've had zero problems with the seams coming apart like mentioned in other reviews.

I have what I believe to have an average sized backpack. It can fit up to 17 inch laptop, iPad, kindle, water bottle, and extras from shopping from the day. Comparable to a diaper bag backpack I see often. I bought the XL and it fits with a little wiggle room. While I could guess that the L could stretch and fit, for reflective fabric that is often fragile, I prefer the xl size. I've attached photos, next to a gallon water jug for comparison, of my backpack filled to it's usual capacity (for touristing all day with 2 elementary aged kids) in NYC. I bought this after being surprised how not waterproof my pack was.This thing is great! It's highly reflective (which is awesome since I'm guilty of wearing all black and being hard to see at night), and comes delivered in a sturdy Ziploc bag, that I recommend folks hold onto so you can tuck the cover away while indoors without getting your things wet. The price is really fantastic too.

This cover exceeded my expectations. I was impressed with the quality of the connectors to secure it to a pack, and it is so visible at night you can see it from a mile away.Highly recommended.

I really like this backpack cover, it’s light and easy to put on and the best feature is the reflective material, it really shines when light hits it!I’ve only used it in light rain and it worked fine and kept my backpack dry, but it’s yet to be tested in heavy rain. I use it on my backpack when I ride my bike and it helps me to remain as visible as I possibly can, with so many bad, distracted drivers. Stay safe out there!

The function, appearance and size are as described.The colour I chose, "silver triangle" is excellent. One time I was walking through a dark security camera hallway, and the coworker who saw me asked why I had a flashlight on my backpack.I also prefer something less glaring than typical yellow, so this is good during daytime.Waterproof for rain and snow also successful.This is a winner for me.

La compré para proteger una mochila en caso de lluvia, y por la visibilidad que proporciona. Toda ella es reflectanteSe ECHA DE MENOS QUE VENGA CON UNA FUNDA (sólo viene con la bolsita de plástico habitual).

De kleinere variant gekocht voor de rugzak van mijn vrouw en super mooie hoes. Voor mijzelf de XL versie aangekocht voor mijn Ortlieb Velocity 29 rugzak. De Ortlieb is waterdicht, maar ik heb de hoes vooral gekocht voor de veiligheid (zichtbaarheid) tijdens het fietsen in de donkere dagen van het jaar. Super reflecterend en dus extra zichtbaar voor het andere verkeer op de weg. Ik twijfelde of deXL variant groot genoeg was maar hij is zeker groot genoeg.

Ich nutze diesen Rucksacküberzug für meinen Wickelrucksack und bin super zufrieden damit.Im Herbst / Winter gibt es nix schlimmeres als wenn der Rucksack und der Inhalt nass werden, deshalb habe ich mir diesen Überzug gekauft. Passt perfekt, dank den zwei Gurten kann es sicher befestigt werden und verrutscht auch während der Nutzung nicht. Das es auch noch Reflektierend ist, ist halt ein riesen PLUSPUNKT! So ist man auch bei schlechtem Wetter gut sichtbar.

its fully reflective, I feel very safe on the road. Even in my bag it reflects as soon as any light is on it. great product
