Waterproofing?

[*zap*]

Obviously a waterproof pack cover is going to be best @ keeping your stuff dry in a rain but....
Are there any recommendations on a treatment for the pack bag so it will repel incidental moisture or light rain?
Thanks

I would try nikwax Tecwash or get the silicon spray and give it a few coats. Or bring a trash bag, if it’s is going to be wet line your pack with that.

Most Cordura is already DWR-treated so there's no need for additional treatment. Pack covers suck, they will eventually wet out. Just put your stuff in a contractor bag inside the pack, no need to overthink things.

Appreciate the inputs but I don't really want to keep messing with a trash bag every day. I could see doing that if it is a steady rain but even then I use a pack cover and I have dry bags. I really am looking for waterproof treatment recommendations to deal with dew and light moisture/light rain-snow for day hunts. Thanks

For that purpose, I'd just do a direct wash or DWR from Nikwax or similar. It won't be "waterproof", but ut will shed moisture pretty well.
