I am looking for rain covers for my bag and my hubby's bag. I have the Lowepro Fastpack 250 and he has the Slingshot 200. I have tried emailing Lowepro, but have not yet heard back from them. Any ideas where I can get rain covers?


Thanks :D

    The slingshot has a built in cover, do you mean an extra, or replacement.

    All the Slingshots are AW....All Weather......inside under neath somewhere there is a slit with the grey ripstop rain/dust cover.....
    Unfortunately the FastPack's are not AW and do not come wiht a rain / dust cover and their is none listed in the accessories for your backpack..... I suggest carying a couple of good heavy duty trash bags with you to keep items in side dry....also a good coating of campdry is always a good idea.....
    If you have not owned the FastPack too long to return I would return it and upgrade to a DRYZONE 200 OR ROVER.....or any of the ones listed on theri site as AW (all weather)................

    Something to consider . . .
    I've just bought a "Sea to Summit Ultra-sil" poncho. The poncho is design to go over backpacks, I figure that I could also carry a camera loose underneath it. I'll be going to Vietnam and Laos during the monsoon season. If I think about it I'll let you know how this set-up goes.
