So cameras on tripods and the likes, gear everywhere, perfectly hot, sunny day, and of course. It absolutely chucked it down with rain! I'm just wondering if there are any sort of generic waterproof or even water resistant covers than you can put over a variety of cameras and lenses? Or to be more specific; 650D + 10-22, 6D + 25-105L. http://500px.com/ChrisBrelsford

Yeah, I was thinking of this option as a quick solution, maybe have a play about later with that idea actually. I think I'd just rather have something a bit more robust for the long run that I know will be in my pack everywhere I go. http://500px.com/ChrisBrelsford

For a few pounds more, look into the Storm Jacket If steroids are illegal for athletes, should PS be illegal for models?

More durable then the Op-Techs (I have both). If you really want to go nuts, go for the Canon reviewed in this thread.I *think* those are the three options most will recommend. Choice is yours. Ah, they look better actually, I'll have a look into those too when I get back from work. http://500px.com/ChrisBrelsford

They also make an 18 inch version of both items above. I also like that they are made of clear plastic. Yeah I came across those too, I quite like having the option for a flash too, just incase I need it so I think I'm going to get the first Optech one, thanks guys http://500px.com/ChrisBrelsford
