You could consider a hi-vis backpack cover.

There are various Hi-Viz covers for backpacks which you see a lot on cyclists.

I read that as Hiv is back..pack!

I saw someone the other day with a backpack onto which was sewn a reflective blue n white arrow sign.. it was quite good.

It'd never work as a waterproof version tho. ๐Ÿ˜‰

it's the Howies rucksack. Love the idea, but execution was bad - missing things like sternum and waist straps, which personally I think are quite important on a riding bag.

I have the Howies Chevron Courier bag, but don't think they make it any more.

My cheapo eurohike rucksack's plastered in 3m reflective tape in a nice chevron pattern, more visible than most purpose-made hiviz kit even though the original bag is black. Reflectives work far better than the bright yellow material that makes up most kit.

Covers are ok, but its just extra faff.

I've got an old fluro Camelback i use, but i'd prob replace it with this when it wears out

I've not seen one in the flesh, but I'm tempted by one of these myself
