I know we have a few photographers on here, so I thought this may be of interest:

Camera Cover
- Thread starter Kevin Winter
- Start date
So, I bought one just to see what it was like, I unpacked it last night but haven't had the chance to offer it up to a camera and lens combo yet. If I get a chance I'll do a comparison with my favorite Think Tank cover http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/hydrophobia-70-200-rain-cover.aspx possibly not a very fair comparisson as the Think Tank retails for about ten times the price. But, when you have a potentially delicate piece of electronic and optical equipment that possibly costs more than your car on a paintball field in the rain that price tag seems all the less significant.
Yes Think Tank is ultimately the best out there.
But another grate, slightly cheaper option is the storm jacket.
Manly for keeping paint off you're expensive equipment.

Seems good for the money. I got mine as I shoot a lot when fishing and it'll certainly keep the rain off, but doesn't offer much impact protection
Think Tank and Aqua Tech are by far the best, I have used the Storm Jacket too, and while it does its job it isn't the most durable piece of kit out there, the proofing on the inside of the single layer breaks down far too easily for my liking.
