I'm looking for a lightweight pack cover for my GG Gorilla. GG currently doesn't sell pack covers.

I'd like the weight of a pack cover to be in the 2oz range.

I'm not interested in liners. I'm not interested in making my own pack cover.

I've tried several types that have a capacity, at the high end, to handle my pack, but they don't cover well when the pack is full. The few I've tried are Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil - size small, and Equinox Stingray Ultralight - size small. Both of these companies have a larger version that weighs 4oz, but I'd rather have a pack cover closer to 2oz if possible.

Are there any other options for a larger size cover, but still in the 2oz range?

Thanks!

Trash compactor bag. Light. Cheap.

Line your lightweight pack (which does not retain water) with it...

Very happy with my BPWD pack cover. Light weight and high vis color for those rainy hitching days. http://www.bearpawwd.com/misc_gear/misc_gear.html#pack%20cover
