Advice: Best Rain cover for an REI Trailbreak 60

[cbike6961]

I have a Ttrailbreak 60 REI pack and need to know what or which rain cover is best suited for that pack,  I also carry a Ridgerest sleeping pad strapped to it so I may or may not be able to get that under that rain cover.

I am heading out on the AT in 2 weeks for an 11 day hike.  So I need a cover.

@cbike6961 Thanks for reaching out!

The correct rain cover size for the REI Co-op Trailbreak 60 backpack alone would be the REI Co-op Duck's Back Rain Cover-Medium. However, given that the rain cover wraps around the entire pack (except the hip and should straps) you will want to go up at least one size to accommodate your sleeping pad. The rain cover will contain all of the straps and buckles of your pack so it would require some ingenuity to strap your sleeping pad on to the outside of the rain cover. Depending on the length and size of your Ridgerest you may need to go up to a size XL.

Hope this helps, have a great hike!
