With a Packa you just tuck the hood and sleeves into the harnesses and it 
is a pack cover. BTW I would never depend on any pack cover as the sole 
means of keeping critical gear (sleeping bag & camp clothing) dry. They go 
in plastic bags in the pack. The pack cover is an extra layer of insurance.

It's *very* baggy in back. :)
