I have the Photo Trekker AW, which does have the rain cover. I've never had to use the rain cover because the pack material itself is water resistant enough for light rain; I've been fortunate enough to not get caught in any hard rain while hiking with the pack...yet. (It's going to happen some time, though!) This is a pretty large pack. I can carry a decent 645 kit along with a good 35mm outfit and a Manfrotto 3021 strapped on the outside. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
