OpTech USA | Rainsleeve Series | Original | Clear | 2 Pack

I've been using the same ones for years, decided to "live large" and buy a couple more sets. I do find it hard to use when I'm using the OpTech duel staps, and trying to zoom. I usually just slide it over the lens and then drape the rest over the camera body. If I'm not using that camera (when shooting with two cameras), I'll pull the cover over the body as well. You can get years of use out of these!

This inexpensive cover works. I was caught in a sudden downpour one day and threw this on my camera. It kept everything bone dry. It may not be pretty but it works and doesn't break the bank.

The product could be good for some but it has to be the exact length for it to actually work. My set up is on the shorter side and so there was too much access plastic that got stuck into my zoom lens and only gave me a headache. I used it once and never again. Could work for some but not for me

Purchased this to protect my camera on a trip to Niagara Falls/maid of the mist tour. I have a small mirrorless Nikon z50 dslr. The sleeve was a little big for it. I ordered the small. I used a pony tail/hair band to secure it around the lens. The drawstring was okay but the hair band secured it better. Didn’t use the little hole for the view finder. Couldn’t get it through. Might have been able if I had done it before getting in line. Not a thick plastic. But did the job.

So glad I found this handy product through a photography blog link! A two pack of these for under $5 is a steal! The packaging is nice and thin, slid easily into my camera bag or day-pack, and I forgot I had them - until I needed them!On a trip to Paris, we encountered tons of rain, and of course it was on the day we were at the Eiffel Tower! The day would have been ruined if I hadn't had these Rainsleeves with us. We easily figured out how to fit it over my camera (I was using a Nikon D5100 with an 18-200mm lens) at a café and were back on our way again for the rest of the night.The Rainsleeve fits over the whole camera with a little hole that is pre-cut to fit over the viewfinder (you remove and refit your eyepiece to hold it in place). The other end is held around your lens with a drawstring. The bag is curved to naturally conform to your arm, and there is a lot of space inside for your hand to move around to the controls. Your other hand on the outside can easily move the lens, but the way I ended up fitting mine, it ended up being easier to leave part of the lens tube exposed when it was extended. (I wish the drawstring was replaced with elastic...it did get in the way sometimes).I use a Black Rapid RS-7 camera strap (which is another miraculous product worth every cent), and it worked fine with this product, but the Rainsleeves probably wouldn't work as well with a traditional camera strap (although you could probably use the bag "upside down" with the bend of it in the opposite direction. We realized we had inadvertently done this the entire first day we used it, with no real problem, there was enough surplus material that we didn't really notice).Even though the Rainsleeve was soaked the first night, my camera was dry (except the glass of the lens, which I will prepare better for in the future - make sure to have something to dry and buff those water spots!) We hung the Rainsleeve up to dry that night, and re-used it again the next day. I think we probably could have gotten one or two more uses out of it if we needed to, but luckily the rain stopped and we had the second one anyway.Keeping a nice little stock of these on hand for sure! What a great tool to have in a pinch - such a simple inexpensive solution to keep my $2000 set up working on our pricey picturesque vacation, even despite the weather! :)

Bought these last minute right before a recent trip to Ireland. We were going to be arriving towards the end of a storm, and since I had just bought my first DSLR with the intention of lots of travel pics, I wanted to cover my bases. I'm so glad I made the decision to have these rainsleeves in my back pocket. For the most part, we got lucky with the weather and only got short bouts of light drizzle during the first half of the week. Of course, though, on the day we had a hawk walk scheduled at the most gorgeous castle grounds, the rain is non-stop. We went prepared for the unpredictable Ireland weather in terms of outerwear, so the hawk walk went on without a hitch, but I was not about to miss out on some awesome pictures. I'm glad I decided to take my camera with me, and with the rainsleeve in place, I had peace of mind that I wasn't causing any damage to it. I ended up buying the small sleeves and they fit my Canon t3i perfectly, even with a longer lens in place. Of course, it's not a perfect solution to harsh weather. I still had to be very careful to protect the lens from getting wet, and while the drawstring component was great to achieve a snug fit, I did have to keep readjusting it at times after zooming in and out. I never had any worries about the body, however, as that was always nice and protected from any moisture.

I swear by these for protecting my camera and always have, I've used my DSLR in the worst conditions and with a couple of elastic bands find them to protect my pride and joy perfectly. Best used with a decent sized lens hood (i've modified mine so the drawstring goes around the very end so it doesn't keep slipping off) and a filter so you can wipe splashes from your lens without ruining the lens coating, even today in some of the hardest hail you will encounter it kept it dry while I was out taking photos of fighter jets.One thing I wouldn't recommend though is to have your hand in there with the camera, it causes condensation which defeats the purpose of them stopping moisture, seal it at one end with an elastic band, cover the eyepiece hole with tape and fire away.They last a while before they start to split of tear so always worth having a pair on standby for those wet days using your camera.

I got these on the off chance, I was doing a shoot in Wales and the forecast was terrible, my camera is weather sealed but I didn’t want to risk too much.It fits so well, can still see and use buttons, I use a wrist grip to hold camera and it suits that.The eyepiece hole is genius and simple, the lens tie is easy but a little tip, take the lens good off and loop the excess strap stour the lens, then put the hood back on, saved the strap flying aboutGreat simple cheap product, it’s staying in my camera bag as one of those really useful things only to be used now and then

A bit fiddly to put onto a camera and use, but after losing a camera to salt water spray I have found these invaluable. Although made out of plastic and sold as 'disposable', the plastic is quite durable and I have been able to re-use mine several times so far.The rainsleeves are quite big and accommodate a Canon 7d and 70-300mm L with ease.Edit August 2016: Despite the rainsleeve, a Canon 70d succumbed to salt water after being hit by a large wave while whale watching. Still a good buy for general weather protection, but not quite a complete solution.

Good value. Not particularly robust, but then again not expensive either. Considerably better than a plain polythene bag or sheet for a DIY emergency approach and at the price asked not worth the effort of attempting too produce your own version. Slightly bigger than I expected - good enough to cover a large DSLR with a reasonable sized lens. Might dwarf a tiny 'point and shoot' with a very short lens.Will probably work well enough for occasional use - might not survive too many repeat uses - but comes in a pack of two, so you will have a spare anyway. If regularly shooting outdoors in pouring rain, perhaps professionally, then you will do better buying a quality rain cover. Otherwise this could well prove a good option for most. I bought following a recommendation for travel use, but haven't yet used actively in wet conditions. I feel it will work well enough to protect kit in relatively heavy rain - at least once and it's small enough to pack inside a bag and keep handy when weather conditions turn nasty.

These rainsleeves work well, although they’re rather big if you’ve only got an APS-C sized camera (Canon xxD/xxxD or Nikon Dxxxx). I used mine with a Canon 18-200mm lens (72mm ø, reasonably sized) and my Canon 20D - the sleeve was HUGE compared to the size I actually needed. Also, the drawscatrings didn’t close very tightly around the lens hood.If you’ve got a 5D and a long 70-200mm L series lens etc. I can imagine this would be perfect, but for us n00bs it’s probably a touch big. You could probably lose a 700D and kit lens set up in there! It does work excellently for keeping the camera dry though, it just rustles a lot. I’ve been reusing one of them, I'm sure they’ll last a while considering they’re supposed to be disposable. I don’t think I’d buy any more, but that’s more because I rarely take photos in the rain.
