Waterproof Breathable Hiking Bag Cover

It serves as protection for your equipment and against adverse weather conditions. You can sleep under the stars or combined with a tarp. It provides a minimalist shelter.

A waterproof fabric is used for this bag cover to protect you from rain, wind and bad weather. A breathable fabric (RET 7) has been used for this sleeping bag to prevent moisture getting inside. Nevertheless, during humid nights, it is possible, normal and natural to notice some dampness inside the bag cover, due to humidity inside and in the air.
