Can anyone recommend a waterproof cover for a backpack? I currently have the Flipside 300 but it does not have a built in rain cover.

I have the same pack, Lowepro Flipside 300. I carry a few large black plastic bags with me. First one tied up top & then another over the top tied at the bottom. I can run my fingers under the top strap/handle to carry to the car/house.

Check most camping stores. REI's brand is the Duck's Back for instance. They're sized on the pack's capacity in litres.

^ Thank you as well for the links. Never knew they made such a thing. I can toss those bags now !

Does anyone know what size to get for this pack: Lowepro Flipside 300?
- Seems the Medium will work, but want to confirm.

Thanks !

The outside of the Flipside 300 is about 20L. The medium is for bags up to 25L.....so I think medium will do the trick (small only goes up to 15L)
