Comments about Vortex Media Vortex Media Storm Jacket Cover for an SLR Camera with a Short Lens Measuring up to 9" from Rear of Body to Front of Lens, Color: Black:
This is not worth it at any price. It fails to do the fundamental job for which it was designed.
Like a tent without a fly - touch the sides and the liquid pours in. The seams are not sealed with any double hems or plastic coating (there should really be NO seams in fact).
Every time I have used it - it has allowed water to pass on through.
You have been warned.
SinoPeach, I’m sorry to hear about the defective Storm Jacket. Please accept our apologies. We at Vortex Media, the manufacturer of the Storm Jacket camera covers, issued a recall of black Storm Jackets in October, 2008 after it was discovered that some of the black Storm Jackets that were produced earlier in that year had been manufactured with material that did not have the level of water repellency that we require. It is apparent from your review that you unfortunately received one of the defective black Storm Jackets. We stand behind our products 100% and have worked hard to replace all the defective covers with new covers. Please contact us directly at service@vortexmedia.com so that we can replace your cover as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this situation has caused you and we do not take it lightly. We have been manufacturing Storm Jackets since 2002, and I assure you that thousands of customers are quite happy with their Storm Jacket camera covers. Thank you.

For the money a great cover. While it doesn't cover the entire camera (back is exposed), it's light, easy to put on and take off.
