Abstract

A rain cover system includes a jacket composed of a rain resistant material to be worn by a user, the jacket having a compartment accessible from a back portion of the jacket via a closure mechanism; and a pack cover disposed within the compartment to extend away from the back portion of the jacket; the pack cover is configured to enclose a backpack to protect against rain; the pack cover is integral with the jacket, thereby providing zero access points for water to reach the backpack; and the pack cover is stored flat against the user'"'"'s back within the compartment when not in use.
