  Topeak MTX EXP/DXP Rain Cover September 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
To expand on the comments of earlier reviewers, this is a great rain cover. My first concern was that it would fit my bag, a Topeak MTX DXP trunk bag. Fortunately, it does this with room to spare, even with the bag fully loaded.
This rain cover is light, easily packable in its own pouch (I recommend letting it dry first before folding it back up and putting it away though), and, thanks to the reflective gray triangle on the outside, intuitive to setup. Besides providing increased visibility, the reflecting triangle also lets you know which side should face outwards so there's no confusion. This is important since the bag is held in place by a number of integrated elastic bands, and if this bag were put on inside-out it might fly off in-transit.
So to summarize, if you want a lightweight, portable rain cover that will protect the contents your trunk bag from wet weather, the Topeak rain cover represents a good value for the money.

This rain cover works well and takes up little room in my saddle bag. I can recommend it.

This is a pretty nifty, light weight "rain coat" for my MTX Trunk Bag DXP. As the other reviewer said, though, it would've been nice if there was a place for a rear light.

I'm a big fan of Topeak's gear. I own two of their racks, couple of pumps, bags, etc. I use the MTX trunk bag/panniers to commute, and I live in Florida so I needed rain cover. I purchased this, and to my surprise----Topeak failed to include a strap for a rear blinkie. Yes, the cover is yellow. Yes, there's a reflective triangle. But that's not the same as a blinkie. Gee, Topeak, do you think people might want to run a blinkie in the rain? Stupid lack of planning.
