Hey ALL:

Half Cover: ( ultra guard) . Had rain first night in Sedona - worked great. Was hit with a hail storm in Salt Lake. While parked under a store's overhang, used it again.

Bag Liners: Never even thought about these before. They worked great. 1 bag was for all my exterior wear (few sets of gloves, neck / face mask/warmer, night glasses, cple thermals, leather shirt (had a deer skin leather shirt hand made for me years ago and I wear it instead of a leather jacket when the need arises). Other side liner bag; easily held t-shirts, tank tops, underwear - for a 7 day trip. Just grabbed it by the handles and took it into my hotel room at night.

Got both ideas from a thread on this forum - so thank you.
