Don't know if you have any distributors of Kata products (they make various raincovers for cameras/lenses). You might want to check out this site, Wildlife Watching Supplies, based in the U.K. This is a link to a page that contains camo covers for lenses.

http://www.wildlifewat​chingsupplies.co.uk …g/Camera_Access​ories.html (external link).

If the link doesn't work as cited above, just got to their main page and look for camera accessories.

cheers,
jim

Have done a quick bit of research and see you need to buy the 702 plus the additional 704 kit for the full monty. looks pricey but probably good
Kata rain covers
E-702 Elements Cover - for larger SLR cameras [0.17Kg] £51.06
E-704 extension Sleeve Kit [2 additional sleeves for E-702 for Tele and Zoom lenses] £38.29
prices plus vat.
Just in case anyones interested. many thanks Tim

Kata 702 alone does pretty well for a 20D and 100-400 I've found.
