Product Description
Pro Storm Jacket Camera Covers are the most compact and portable camera protection you can carry with you everywhere you go . . . so you won't hesitate to use it anytime the camera is going to get wet, dirty, or sit in the sun. They are perfect for live shots setups, locker room celebrations, shooting in rain, drizzle, snow, and dusty or dirty environments. They aren't meant to replace heavy-duty covers and rain slickers costing hundreds of dollars when you really need that level of protection. Pro Storm Jackets can be slipped on and off in less than 5 seconds, which means you'll actually use them when you'd otherwise just let the camera get wet because you didn't want to struggle with a bulky cover. When you're done with it, just shake it off, stuff it back into its zippered case, and shove it in a pocket. The cover and case together only weigh about 2-5 ounces depending on the model. The Medium size (recommended for most customers) works well for short lenses up through 300-400mm f/2.8. Measure your camera/lens from the rear of the body to the front of the lens. If it's 7"-15", this is the cover for you. The Large size is built for very long lenses. Measure your camera/lens from the rear of the body to the front of the lens. If it's 14"-23", this is the cover for you...but, you might want to get a smaller size to go with it. The XL Xtra Large size is built for extra long len ses. Measure your camera/lens from the rear of the body

The StormJacket is really just a nylon sleeve with elastic on each end and a toggle to keep it tight. Additionally, on the Pro model there is a velcro access section on the bottom through which you can attach the camera to a tripod, it might seem expensive at $50 but to protect a $700 camera and a $400 lens? If it works... well worth it!
I took my Nikon D5000 with a Sigma 10-20mm Ultra-Wide lens onto the Maid of the Mist... that's right, the boat that goes INTO the mists of the famous Horseshoe Falls at Niagara Falls! Not only was it misty from the falls (and we're talking mists that rise up hundreds of feet!) but it was also raining, and COLD! I was very apprehensive using the product, I had just purchased the lens, and my camera is near and dear to me!
I tightened the front around right behind the hood thread, after removing the hood, then put the hood back on (in use, not stored); I then left the back entirely loose so I could get my hands inside and also put my eye to the viewfinder.
The material kept the wind and water off my hands keeping them warm enough to function and my camera is none the worse for having experience this amazing trip!
Of course, the glass on the front of the lens got wet, so make sure to bring something to wipe it (frequently).
The only other thing to mention is that the StormJacket weighs virtually nothing, is super compact and the carry pouch has a nice clip to hang it off your belt loop or part of your bag or gear.

Great rain cover for DLSR with long lenses, able to use it fully extended or collapsed in on shorter lenses.

My timelapse setups usually run for 3-4 hours, and most of the time I'm not immediately near it. It's best to set it up and leave it alone. That way stray light from a flashlight, doesn't ruin the shot. I have been looking for a replacement for the cheap rain covers that I have used in the past. The Storm Jacket is compact when folded up and has a bungee closure at each end.
The Storm Jacket Pro Model, which I have, also has a large velcro opening on the bottom. That way you can use it with a tripod, or on a dolly. I've used it on the Dynamic Perception Stage Zero dolly and it worked great. The Storm Jacket is well made and will keep dew, rain, snow and dust off of the camera. The large openings make it easy to get at the camera, but close down tight to keep the weather out. I will be using this a lot, and highly recommend it.

Excellent Raincover
I have already used this a couple of times. It keeps the rain off. You can still use the camera. The only improvement I would make is a flap to protect the back of the camera when... Read more

A Good Buy
This product is a good buy if you can spend a little more money than what the cheap plastic covers cost. I used this product at a outdoor soccer game when it was pouring outside. Read more
