Waterproofing & rain cover

TL;DR

The shell fabrics are water-repellent for everyday rain. For heavy or sustained downpours, pull on the 100% waterproof hi-vis rain cover for full weatherproofing and extra visibility.

Is my Stolt backpack waterproof, and when should I use the rain cover?

Your Stolt backpack is made from durable, water-repellent performance fabric (with DWR treatment) and high-quality hardware, so it shrugs off showers on the commute. Zips and seams are inherently vulnerable in extreme weather, so when a storm hits or you’ll be out in rain for longer, we recommend the hi-vis rain cover for complete protection. It’s 100% waterproof and designed to cover the entire backpack, keeping your gear — laptop, clothes, papers — dry. The cover also features reflective/hi-vis elements to help you stand out in low light. 

Covers are included with Stolt commuter sets (Alpha, Athlete, Podium) and are also sold separately by model. They stash neatly in the back panel so they’re ready when the weather turns. After use, simply air-dry the cover before storing.
