It packs down very small in it's case. Used it the first week while vacationing in the Pacific Northwest (Vancouver Island).

The best way to describe this item, is it has the resemblance of accounting sleeves. The sleeves that accountants or dealers used to use so not to get their shirt sleeves dirty.
I found this item to be a little too expensive for what it is. You could buy a piece of waterproof material and at both ends put two pieces of elastic in the hem and that is it...No opening for adding a tripod, no opening for the flash. Like I said, picture an accountant or dealers sleeve protector.

Comments about Vortex Media Vortex Media Storm Jacket Cover for an SLR Camera with a Medium Lens Measuring 7" to 15" from Rear of Body to Front of Lens, Color: Black:
A DSLR using a zoom lens that deploys outward will get exposed to rain - the lens body will get wet and if zoomed back will drag water back into the lens body. Something like velcro has to be stuck around the lens body to hold the jacket to the front of the lens or it's useless as a rain cover. No window to see the status screen or monitor makes it poor for a digital camera. For same price there are others that work properly. Unreliable.

I could have used this when I had to photograph 45 different subjects in one day during varying degrees of drizzle to heavy rain. I'm prepared now.

It is obviously well-constructed and there is easy access for your hands to reach all controls. The material is very thin allowing one to easily press the shutter button from outside the cover. This size easily fit my Nikon D200 with a Nikon 80-400 mm lens and wasn't too big for my Sigma 10-20 mm.
