What to know before buying

The listing identifies the fabric as 600D PES REC BS, 210D PA RECYCLED and the material as nylon. It also claims water repellency and a removable rain cover, but does not provide a water-resistance rating. Treat the cover as the additional rain protection described, not evidence of a waterproof pack.
