rain cover

Canopy for precipitation

A rain cover is a waterproof or water-resistant protective layer designed to shield something from rain.

Most commonly refers to covers for strollers, backpacks, camera equipment, or outdoor gear: I forgot the rain cover for the baby's stroller.

The term applies broadly to any removable covering whose primary purpose is keeping rain off.
