Vortex Media Pro Storm Jacket Cover for an SLR Camera with a Large Lens Measuring 14" to 23" from Rear of Body to Front of Lens, Color: Black

This product works well to protect your lens in inclement weather . If you buy one larger than your lens you can cover the camera as well . However, $ 40 seems spendy for what could be a sleeve cut off of a raincoat with rubber band sewn into each end .

It was too risky to remove on and off while shooting on location because it requires “almost” more than two hands to manage. Doesn’t exactly stay where I wanted it too. By the time it was positioned right I was ready to move to next lens.Material felt a little chinsey. Not sure how it would hold up to rain since it was hard to use with my 24-70mm, 35mm and 70-200mmThis is more of a review of how I feel I benefited from the storm jacket.

I purchased this rain cover for a wildlife photography trip in Alaska where I knew it would rain a little at least each day. There are more expensive and more complicated devices out there to do the same job, but this little cover proved to be just perfect for my camera and a 500 mm lens. In deed, it did rain every day and the Vortex kept my equipment dry and happy. It stows in a small bag that can hang from your tripod and it takes just a few seconds to put on. You can reach up through the Velcroed opening in the bottom to manually focus, if needed, still maintaining rain protection. Highly recommended.

I live in the PNW and am impressed by how much rain this thing can handle.However. I am deleting two stars because the front has issues with where it sits on your hood.If you try and close it near the front of your hood, of course you will see it in the picture.If you try and close it in the middle, it will slide down and let in rain.If you close it where it naturally wants to slide, then it is sitting between your hood and your lens which brings up a number of issues:+ A bit of rain can get in the gaps.+ It can cause your hood to come loose.+ It can throw off your zoom.All of these issues can occur in a way that is not immediately noticeable but could have quite the affect on your equipment and/or pictures.I personally haven't found a better replacement product, so I deal with this issue with a very wide rubber band that I place about 1/4 inch below the front closure and directly on the spot where it wants to slide to.It seems like Vortex could create a wide Velcro band that was part of the product that did the trick even better or...? I dunno. I'm not the inventor.I would delete more stars and/or returned it, but again, it has very good rain resistance, and some of us have jobs that take our equipment where it wasn't designed to go.

It is what it is and does just want it says. I wouldn't use it in a driving rain but for most snowy days and the occasional mist it keeps the working parts of the camera and lens protected.

The item arrived on time and exactly as described. It slipped onto my camera in a matter of seconds and performed very well. It will probably work better on a tripod mounted camera because it has a tendency to slip over the end of the lens when the camera is tilted down, if not adjusted properly.

This is nothing more than a piece of plastic with two holes cut out on each end. Nothing fancy at all. It stops the rain but that's really all it does for you.

It works easily and is light to carry in case of rain. But I stop shooting when the rain gets strong.
