Customer Reviews

not truly helpful
The main design problem with the rain cover is that water collects and pools inside of it at the bottom of the panniers. When the rear wheel kicks up water it sprays off the bottom of the rack and then drips down the inside of the panniers and collects inside of the rain cover. I do not have fenders, this might mitigate the problem.

The fabric is also easily stained by road grime, and quickly turns from pretty yellow to spotted with brown.

Overall, I would say it is fairly useless as the panniers get wet anyway and the main compartment is fairly waterproof already as it is protected by the top compartment. Save yourself $15 and just use a plastic grocery bag on the top unless you also plan on investing in a pair of fenders.

Topeak MTX EXP/DXP Rain Cover
To expand on the comments of earlier reviewers, this is a great rain cover. My first concern was that it would fit my bag, a Topeak MTX DXP trunk bag. Fortunately, it does this with room to spare, even with the bag fully loaded.

This rain cover is light, easily packable in its own pouch (I recommend letting it dry first before folding it back up and putting it away though), and, thanks to the reflective gray triangle on the outside, intuitive to setup. Besides providing increased visibility, the reflecting triangle also lets you know which side should face outwards so there's no confusion. This is important since the bag is held in place by a number of integrated elastic bands, and if this bag were put on inside-out it might fly off in-transit.

So to summarize, if you want a lightweight, portable rain cover that will protect the contents your trunk bag from wet weather, the Topeak rain cover represents a good value for the money.

Topeak Rain Cover - Pretty Good
This is a pretty nifty, light weight "rain coat" for my MTX Trunk Bag DXP. As the other reviewer said, though, it would've been nice if there was a place for a rear light.
