Product Description
The Rucksack cover is a simple and unique product, performing several functions at the same time. The rucksack cover fits simply over an existing rucksack and fastens around its waist. It is available in Day-Glo Yellow/Orange for daylight visibility with reflective 2cm width tape running top to bottom on both sides for night time visibility. It also features an elasticated edge which grips the rucksack stopping it from flapping around.

I started commuting by bike in London in June 2008, and it was still so light that I didn't need a rear light or a high visibility jacket after work to cycle back home. But now it's suddenly much darker, especially when it's cloudy or raining, so I started wearing a yellow high-viz jacket with a lot of reflective tapes around my back and arms - just like the one that the police officers are wearing on their motorcycle! I thought it'd improve my visibility a lot.
However, when I cycled I was carrying a dark coloured rucksack, and I realised about 70% of my yellow high-viz colour was covered by my rucksack. I've done some research when I was cycling behind other cyclists who were in the same situation, and the result was the high-viz yellow/orange colour + reflective tapes were hardly noticeable from behind in a distance if the cyclists were carrying a dark-coloured rucksack!
So I looked for a high visibility rucksack cover, and I chose this one. This particular item has two reflective tapes as well as a net pocket, so I put one of my rear flashing lights in it. Now I know the visibility has improved significantly, so I feel much securer behind my back. It has two rubber strings on the other side too, so it would stick to most rucksacks, I imagine. Only a small fault I can think of is that this cover is not waterproof, so your rucksack will probably get wet in the rain.
If you need to ride a bike after dark and carry a dark-coloured rucksack, I will definitely recommend this cover for you, especially if you cycle in heavy traffic like in London, and you can let others see you much sooner. Let's improve traffic safety and protect yourself. Good luck!
FYI: I can also recommend a waterproof Hi-Viz Bomber Jacket to improve your visibility!

While I've only had this for a short time I am happy with it. I chose to buy this instead of the more recognized brands and it's pretty much on par in my opinion. The 'brightness' of it is maybe slightly inferior to other brands but not enough to warrant paying twice the price. Very good purchase.

I got this last year as often cycle to and from work . It is a great thing as everyone just bypasses me in a great loop- just what you want on the busy city roads. I wear a Hi-vis jacket as well- but you don't really need it with this. Easy to put on and off and the little pocket is great for bike keys or wallet even. Excellent buy and excellent service.

Bright!
Love using it. But the straps to attach are quite restrictive and alas one is now broken. Not as easy to attach as I would like.
But is it visible. Oh yes! Read more

These covers are perfect for what they are. I was a bit apprehensive that they wouldn't fit my kid's school rucksacks but they do. Read more

Cheap and cheerful but not too well made
The product is certainly high-vis and fits well over a medium sized bag. The mesh pocket in the front also makes it easy to add a small light for extra visibility. Read more
