Going to be traveling in a country with unpredictable weather soon and I need rain protection for my gear.  or more specifically this:
Thanks in advance. -Kevin

Designed for backpacks. Or just pick up a large garbage bag for use as needed. Or a backpacker's poncho that will cover both you and the bag. Jon

I got a lowepro fastpack 350 and I'm not sure what size would fit my bag. I'm guessing it would be either a 20 or 40 liter?

I have a Jansport computer bag. REI gives dimensions for the covers on their site; take your bag dimensions with you. Jon

and give it and the bags to a sewer with a lowepro AW backpack print as a sample, so he can cut the material based on my bags size it has a same material with AW cover from lowepro ^^ i know that i can find things like this easily in adventure store, but there`s no advnture store here, so i decided to try by making it from bike cover. n so far i`m so happy with it.

draw4u Member 166 posts Joined Jul 2009 Location: Missouri More info | Sep 04, 2009 09:16 | #15 I sprayed my Canon 200EG backpack with a silicone spray (bought from a local Wal-Mart in the camping section with bright orange lid on it) which seems to keep the water from soaking into it. I have used this same spray on jackets, shoes, soccer bags, etc and it seems to work great and repels water for a long time before needing to spray again. I also carry a few trach bags with me just in case and I will likely be shooting in the rain this weekend for a tournament, so hopefully I can keep everything dry! Draw4u
