Rated 4 out of 5

Versatile, works, good price.

Used in snow to cover Canon 5D and 24-105 lens. Plenty of extra room, easy to bunch up. Will easily fit my 300 as well. Great price, easy to store and use. Size M.

Very basic rain protection

Very basic rain sleeve that could be better. It does not have any provisions for using on a tripod. A small Velcro slit along the bottom would have been a nice feature but this is just a sleeve. It will do the job for handheld shots but I should have bought a nicer rain sleeve.

Works well

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

Ahhhhhh

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.

Storm Jacket is very basic

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.

Just What I Needed

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.

Well-made and roomy

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.

About Vortex Media SJMB Storm Jacket Cover for SLR Camer

Storm Jacket Camera Covers are the most compact and portable camera protection you can carry with you everywhere you go . . . so you won't hesitate to use it anytime the camera is going to get wet, dirty, or sit in the sun. They are perfect for live shots setups, locker room celebrations, shooting in rain, drizzle, snow, and dusty or dirty environments.

They aren't meant to replace heavy-duty covers and rain slickers costing hundreds of dollars when you really need that level of protection. Storm Jackets can be slipped on and off in less than 5 seconds, which means you'll actually use them when you'd otherwise just let the camera get wet because you didn't want to struggle with a bulky cover.

When you're done with it, just shake it off, stuff it back into its zippered case, and shove it in a pocket. The cover and case together only weigh about 2-5 ounces depending on the model.

The Small size fits any SLR with most lenses up to about a 80-200mm f/2.8. Here's how to tell if it will fit your camera: Measure your camera/lens from the rear of the body to the front of the lens. If it's 9" or less, this is the cover for you.

The Medium size (recommended for most customers) works well for short lenses up through 300-400mm f/2.8. Measure your camera/lens from the rear of the body to the front of the lens. If it's 7"-15", this is the cover for you.

The Large size is built for very long lenses. Measure your camera/lens from the rear of the body to the front of the lens. If it's 14"-23", this is the cover for you...but, you might want to get a smaller size to go with it.
