Tragopan 3D Snow backpack cover (up to 60 l)

Tragopan 3D Snow Backpack Cover, moving inconspicuously through the snow

Sometimes a good jacket just isn’t enough, especially when your backpack stands out from the winter landscape like a colorful beacon. The Tragopan 3D Snow Backpack Cover closes exactly this gap and ensures that your camera backpack or hiking backpack visually disappears in the snow instead of attracting everyone’s attention. It covers the conspicuous back side of your luggage and blends it seamlessly into the wintry surroundings.

The cover is specifically designed for backpacks with a volume of up to 60 liters. It fits most common camera backpacks as well as many classic trekking and hiking backpacks. So you don’t have to spend much time wondering whether it fits your model – you simply pull it over, adjust it, done.

3D Snow camouflage fabric, ideal in winter

The camouflage fabric used in the “3D Snow” version is, as the name suggests, tailored to winter conditions. The structure is not just flat-printed, but three-dimensionally designed so that light and shadow are broken up and the backpack becomes much harder to spot in the snow, among frost, ice, and bright rocks. Especially when you are out in snowy forests, open fields, or in the mountains, this 3D effect really comes into its own.

Thanks to the bright, snow-adapted coloring and the irregular pattern, the typical backpack shape is visually dissolved. It often looks unspectacular, but that’s exactly the point: the less conspicuous, the better the camouflage. For winter hides, stalking in the snow, or tours in open, bright terrain, the cover is a very practical addition to your camouflage gear.

Compatible with camera and hiking backpacks up to 60 l

The Tragopan 3D Snow Backpack Cover has been designed to fit a wide range of backpack models. Whether a compact camera backpack for short trips or a larger hiking backpack with up to 60 liters of volume, the cover encloses the outer surface and provides uniform camouflage. We would say: if your backpack is roughly in the “normal” photo or trekking class, you’re pretty much on the safe side.

An interesting point is that you are not tied to a specific brand or model. Many common camera backpacks with front or rear access can be covered without restricting you at key points. You simply pull the cover over the backpack, align it briefly, and secure it with the cord; in practice this usually takes only a few moments.

The perfect addition, perfect for wildlife photographers

Especially for wildlife and animal photographers, this backpack cover is a useful addition to the rest of your camouflage clothing. You can be perfectly camouflaged in a hide or in the snow, but if a dark or brightly colored backpack is glowing behind you, many animals will notice more quickly that something is wrong. The cover helps reduce this “disturbing factor” and completes the overall picture of your camouflage.

In combination with other 3D camouflage clothing, camouflage nets, or a Tragopan hide, the whole setup works like a closed system: camera, lens, you yourself, and your backpack all visually blend into the surroundings. Especially with cautious species or in open landscapes, this can make the crucial difference as to whether an animal stays a few seconds longer or not.

Easy attachment with cord and tension loop

To prevent the backpack cover from slipping, it is fixed to the backpack with a cord and a tension loop. You place the cover over the backpack, tighten the cord, and secure it with the loop. It sounds simple, and it is – which is worth its weight in gold in the field when it’s cold and you don’t want to fiddle around for ages. The construction ensures that the cover fits snugly and stays in place even when you move or put the backpack down.

Because the system works without rigid elements, the cover can be easily folded and stored in the backpack when you don’t need it. It takes up very little space and can be quickly pulled out again when you enter a snow-covered area or prepare for a hide.

Note: Not a rain cover, but a pure camouflage cover

Important to know: The Tragopan 3D Snow Backpack Cover is explicitly not a rain cover. It was developed for camouflage purposes, not as a waterproof protective layer. So if you expect heavy rain, wet sleet, or prolonged showers, you should also plan on using a classic rain cover or a waterproof backpack protector. The cover takes care of the optics, not complete waterproofing.

In practice, this means: for dry, cold winter days, light snowfall, or frozen landscapes, the 3D Snow camouflage fabric is ideal. But as soon as it gets really wet, your rain cover takes over the main role again, while the camouflage cover should be seen more as an additional layer.

Part of a well-thought-out 3D camouflage system

The backpack cover is not just a loose accessory, but part of a larger camouflage concept from Tragopan. Together with 3D camouflage jackets, pants, ponchos, and hides, it forms a coherent kit for wildlife photography and nature observation. If you value having everything visually match and your camouflage be as seamless as possible, this cover fits very harmoniously into the overall setup.

This way your backpack is no longer perceived as a “foreign object”, but as an inconspicuous part of the winter environment. Especially on longer tours where you frequently change locations, it’s convenient not to have to think every time about how to hide your backpack. You pull the cover over it, and the matter is essentially settled.
