Rain is rarely the problem; your own moisture usually is · review
A generously cut laminate cover that publishes its water column, its packed size and its weight — and calls its membrane breathable without ever putting a number on it.
The bottom line A cover that describes its zip, its hood and its packed size properly, then stops at the word breathable. That word is the whole gap.
A coyote sleeping-bag cover in a 3-layer laminate, stated at 225 × 85 cm with a 5,000 mm water column, an integrated hood, a two-way side zip under a press-stud storm flap, a packed size of 40 × 8 cm and a weight of approximately 1,300 g. A stuff sack is supplied.
The closure, unusually. Most covers in this hub say nothing about how you get in; this one names a two-way zip, its position, the storm flap over it and the fasteners on that flap. The hood is described with its adjustment. And both the packed size and the weight are published.
Breathability. The membrane is called breathable and there is no figure — not a moisture vapour rate, not a RET value, and no test named. Read against the hub intro, that is the specification the purchase actually turns on, and it is the one that is missing.
Denier and seam treatment are also absent, so abrasion resistance and whether the seams are sealed are both left open.
Weigh 1,300 g against what it replaces. A cover of this weight is a decision about the whole sleep system, not an accessory to it.

It tells you the construction is a laminate rather than a coated film, which is a real difference. What it does not do is let you compare this cover with any other, because there is no number to compare. In a hub where two listings publish a figure, the word on its own is the weaker claim.
The maker states the 225 × 85 cm cut is deliberately roomy. A cover that presses on a sleeping bag flattens the insulation underneath it, and the extra width is what the maker says it is buying.
