5.11 Skyweight 24 Backpack Rain Cover Test

This is the second part in the field evaluation of the 5.11 Skyweight 24, although the specific model I field tested is the S/M (22L) version. I liked the idea of the supplied rain cover, but how well does it hold up in practice, particularly to some of the activities that I might perform in night Search and Rescue?
There is only one way to find out :)

If you haven't already gathered or seen part one of this evaluation, my primary use case for gear is night, wilderness Search and Rescue. I often have to work in inclement weather and well off the so-called beaten path. Thanks for your time.

A good practical test.

[@L5-SAR]

Thanks. This one was fun :)

If I were lost in the cold and rain, I hope you were the one searching for me!

[@L5-SAR]

Thanks! Let's hope it doesn't ever come to that.
