I figured you guys and gals would know better than anyone else on here......

I have the Icon Squad II (http://rideicon.com/product_details.jsp?category=1 981&id=7895) backpack and it's not as waterproof as I would like for it to be, I've been riding in the rain and I'm catching a lot of spray from the rear tire as I have my tail chopped on my CR. I've seen a few covers when I did a quick google search but they had mixed reviews, any recommendations or should I just have one made?

Go to your local REI store or backpacker store and have them set you up with a cover.

I agree with Chris! Go to REI. They sell some great waterproof BP covers in 3 different sizes (I believe). Personally, I have the triple tail backpack and it cames with a waterproof cover (that I have never used).

Another option, which I did myself, is to make your own. Go buy a sheet of silicon impregnated nylon. Cut to size. Sew a seam into with an elastic cord and you're done!

Have fun!
