...We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw this rucksack. We'd been toying with the decision, reins or non-reins for our son. We found the rucksack at the Mountain Life Outdoor Adventure Shop located in Rheged Discovery Centre, Penrith whilst having a weekend break. ~~~LittleLife~~~ I must admit, I'd never heard of LittleLife before. After a bit of research, I have discovered that they design products especially for active families who enjoy outdoor activities and travelling. They introduced their first series of products only two years ago in 2003, initially focusing on child carriers and accessories, they now produce ultra-light travel cots (very trendy) as well as first aid kits. The designers boast enjoying spending a lot of time with their own children outdoors as well as being experienced designers for equipment... Read review

It is waterproof and will keep you dry from the rain. It comes down over your bum, which is great, as it keeps it dry. I find this important as it means you are not sitting on wet clothes all day as some coats don't cover this region very well and you still get wet. No wet gets inside your coat whatsoever...
