I am happy to sing the praises of the Ortlieb waterproof messenger backpack. The roll-top style, dark interior, and depth of the bag are annoying, but I got it to maximize the one attribute that was most important to me, namely, waterproofness, and it performs perfectly in that area.

Are there any hi-viz waterproof covers out there that you prefer to use?


I use a trash bag as a liner =)
