Looking for waterproof pack cover for my Exo K4 5000. Pretty much a necessity for me and where I hunt. I am aware of the Exo dry bag but prefer to cover my pack from the exterior when need be.

Cool. I will look at both of those. Saves me some time scouring the internet.

Though it’s their competition, I’ve been happy with both the kuiu and stone glacier covers. Kuiu if you carry your rifle on your pack. SG if you carry it on your hand or in a kifaru gun bearer.

another for the kuiu. I used to run kuiu packs and used their rain cover. Sold the kuiu pack, switched to the K4 and kept the rain cover:)

I'm curious, why prefer the pack cover over the dry bag? I always envision a pack cover getting hung up on everything, though admittedly I've never used one.

I actually prefer the MR cover, if it's a light rain and I don't really wanna throw my rain jacket on. Otherwise, I just have a Badlands cover (if I'm ounce counting). If it's a steady rain for multiple days, you're 100% better off keeping your gear dry from the inside...

I bought a Mystery Ranch cover of Camofire and it works fine.

I was in your camp till I went on a hunt and it raining everyday for a week. I typically don't use while moving, but if I stop to glass or have to store the pack outside the tent it's nice to have a cover to keep it from getting waterlogged. For the couple ounces it weighs, well worth it in my book.

I don't like the full size drybag cause it's so inconvienient. I have a smaller Sea to Summit drybag I put my sleeping bag and clothes in, but anything else that doesn't matter if it gets wet doesn't go in the drybag. Gives me access to frequently used items and protects my clothing.
