Just wondering what do you shooters use for rainy night football shooting to protect your camera and lens? what type of cover ?

I will be shooting this fall for the 1st time from the sideline for the local HS booster club.

I use the OpTech Rainsleeve. It's affordable and works well. If it's raining too hard most HS games get postponed.

I wish that were true here. It depends on the condition of the field and whether or not that hard rain is accompanied by lightning. Baseball and Softball games will get postponed, but football and soccer are usually game on unless the field is absolutely not playable or there is lightning in the area.

Think Tank Hydrophobias are what I use.

Your camera will let you know when it has had too much. Cover it.
