The velcro is heavy and will probably come undone while hiking. The first one seems much simpler, and while maybe a little more difficult to put on, once in place probably does a better job. (and it's probably lighter).
Though I'd just go with a poncho and screw the pack cover altogether.
Jason (or who ever you are! masked bandit), man that was just too funny, great work.
Hopefully the design is multi-vendor, it's seems like it would fit most packs.
Silnyon I assume? are they looking at Cuben?

LOL … good one Jason, luved the intro music.
But regarding rain … everyone repeat after me "Rain, it's a different kind of GOOD weather"
If my gear didn't get wet now and then it'd never get cleaned!
Good "review". Also good that GG operators didn't "cap" you in the middle of your demo! That took courage. I LOVE you buddy, risking all for the greater good of UL backpacking.
Now send GG a coded message to make the cover in "stealth" colors like greens and browns. I like to blend into the scenery.
