Fairly easy for a novice sewer

This kit made a nice rain cover for my Osprey Exos 48L pack. The material is slippery so just be patient when you are sewing and use lots of clips. Had material left over so I made drawstring bags for my tent poles and z-fold sit mat.

Thanks for leaving a review, Rich! Glad to hear that the kit was easy to make despite the fabric between slick to work with. Clips are your friend!

Great Lightweight Pack Cover

I love DIY gear, and when I needed a pack cover, of course I wanted to make my own. It is so light, packs down small, and surprisingly abrasion resistant. I got caught on some trees, and it took the abuse is stride!!

Great kit

This is a great beginner DIY project to build my sewing skills. I'm working my way up to a hex tarp.

Needed Pack cover DIY

This was a fun great idea because I have never really sewn anything for DIY backpacking and instead of browsing through stores for a pack cover made elsewhere and a big name brand on it, it was great to just have this simple plain but very effective pack cover put together. I appreciate it differently having spent the time to put it together. I'm glad that I did this project first because I was almost going to start a bug shelter as my first project and it may have been to much for a first timer. I have to admit that the sewing machine is not adjusted right because the stitching comes out loose on the the other side. I'm not sure why because I don't sew often.
