Your rain cover is made of urethane-coated
oxford nylon. This material is lightweight, flexible, very water resistant
and has a high tensile strength.
Shock cords with nylon hooks run
through the seam on each end of the cover. The hooks attach quickly
and easily to the bottom outside pannier "D" rings. An extra
"D" ring is provided at each point. The Sopris Rain Cover
will protect your sleeping bags, pads, tents and any other gear that
is tied to the top of the saddle and panniers.
Hypothermic conditions may exist
at certain times when transporting your llama to and from the trailhead
or during your stay in the highcountry, especially if you have just
shorn your llama. In these situations, the Sopris Deluxe Rain Cover
doubles as a raincoat for your llama. Just use the three straps provided
and stored in the convenient zippered pocket.
- The meduim-length strap is the neck strap. It
has two "D" rings that clip into the hooks on one end
of the cover.
- The longest strap is the body strap that clips
into the center buckle on the cover and runs under the llama to
the buckle on the other side.
- The short strap with a "D" ring on each
end is the tail strap. Connect this strap to the bungie hooks on
the other end of the cover and pull the cover over your llama's
rump.
The raincover may also be used
to cover saddles and other equipment while in camp.
