Thanks, I managed to find a nice colourful shower cap and as I speak a little catch is being attached so it won't come off.If a shower cap won't fit, depending on the size, try a bicycle helmet cover! I have one for my large bumbag that I use for walks at home, it fits perfectly.
@Marbe2On our my last trip we used the very light IKEA rain poncho, which was recommended on this forum. They kept everything dry and was light and inexpensive. It does not cover the lower legs nor arms. However we were able to use the hiking poles inside the poncho. It did allow enough room to cover our pack, hips and waist till about the knee...I am 5’8”.

Over the years I've been modifying my backpack by having extra tags here and there to accommodate various add ons. Now I'm getting pretty close to finishing the mods, the last one is to have attachments, so I can clip my bum bag to the backpack waist belt, when I have it around my waist I just can't get in comfortable. Now another problem arises because my bumbag is not waterproof (I know buy one that is) but I've become very attached to the old thing.
Discussing this problem with My In House Advisor, she came up with the idea of using a shower cap, excellent I thought, so something else to try before I fly.
Just thought I'd share the crazy things that go through my mind as I get prepared.
I certainly could have done but it’s also about keeping the bum bag dry as well.You also could just put your stuff in a plastic bag inside the bum bag. Personally I've never done either and my stuff has never gotten wet.
Love them, may to rethink the design.Wouldn't this have been more fun?

My Ribz Wear pack (not water proof) is nylon and I put the contents in zip lock bags and it does the trick. Ribz Wear actually you wear like a vest and has to large pouches I use for paperwork, gloves, snacks, extra water when needed and camera or phone and I have a rain jacket that will cover it when needed. I use it for day hikes here at home.View attachment 49603
I guess there are varying degrees of shower cap, the one I've shown has a double lining inside, I also turned it inside out and filled it with water and left it overnight, I was pleased to see that not a drop had leaked through.I tried a shower cap over my bumbag last year on the Via de la Plata. It may have been ‘shower proof’ but didn’t work in a deluge.
