Abstract
A protective cover adaptable to serve as a luggage accessory or be incorporated in a piece of luggage and designed to protect such luggage items, particularly net-type, weather sensitive, and degradable baggage, together with contents of the baggage from weather exposure. When the weather becomes unfavorable or when the situation to protect a luggage item arises, the protective cover is extended from the item and placed over the same. After the cover is positioned over such an item, the user may tighten the perimeter of the cover by pulling on strings that are incorporated within the cover. When the need for the protective cover is no longer needed, the user is able to fold the cover and insert the cover back into the backpack.
