Does anybody make them? It needs to fit a civilian type 5000ci pack. I'd settle for a solid drab color- o.d., khaki, etc. |

I carried a small backpack when I'd use my hunting stands, but the pack was yellow. I bought some camo material at a Wal Mart in the fabric department, and sewed it to make a decent camo cover, but the fabric wasnt waterproof. You might try a camo USGI poncho lashed on. |
Thanks for the link. I missed that one. My pack is bigger than the advertised cover specs but it would probably work. |
I have. But I don't think they are waterproof. Maybe with enough silicone treatment they might work well enough. The British do have a waterproof cover for their bergens (packs) in DPM that would be perfect. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone on this side of the pond that carries them. |

Here's one. The copy says "water resistant", but the price is right. Maybe a little waterproofing spray on it and it'll be good to go. www.armysurpluswarehouse.com/product_info.cfm?productID=491 |

They are a little expensive, but have worked out awesome... Bergen Pack Cover I picked a couple up and may be a little big for 5000cu. I have one for my tan Kifaru EMR which covers it up nicely and the other is for my bulky HSGI modified large ALICE. The signal panel on the inside is a nice bonus and I now dropped the VS-17 from my ruck and it works as stated when you do those early morning ruck marches...turn it inside out for high-vis protection.

| eberlstock has a few differnt types of pack covers. I've seen some generic pack covers in backpacking stores that were very lightwt as well, not in camo but I think you can get clear. eberystock has covers in cammo, I think the ones that fit their "just one" pack would fit a large civiian pack. |
