Good question MedB.

I've been thinking about this a bit lately too. Our three year old just got her new hiking backack - a bright pink one that can probably be seen for miles! It's hardly tactical but - she's three! She loves it and so do we!

My new pack is a dull blue but came with a rain cover that's bright yellow. I'm going to find one up for all of our family's packs. It will have to do for now!
