A rating is what separates a cover that sheds a shower from one that holds out sustained pressure, and nobody has given us one. So this page states no rating, and no rating should be read into the title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnd the shape decides the rest.\u003c\/b\u003e A rain cover is open on the harness side, because that is the side your back is on. Water can still find the shoulder straps, the hipbelt, and the panel of the pack against your back, and in wind it can be driven up under the hem. Use it as a shield over the outside of a pack. If something inside genuinely cannot get wet, it belongs in a dry bag, under this, not in a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/5894\/7642\/files\/03_inside_and_elastic_hem.jpg?v=1788904835\u0026amp;width=900\" alt=\"Black backpack rain cover held partly open on a plain surface showing the silver gray coated inner face and the elasticated gathered hem running around the opening\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:620px;height:auto;margin:22px auto 0;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe reflective strip: a real one, and a small one\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"font-size:17px;margin:0 0 16px;\"\u003eIt is genuine retroreflective material rather than pale printing.
