Worked great in a heavy rain

I tried this cheap solution and I'm not happy with it. Zooming my lens resulted in the bag (that's all this is, a plastic bag with a tie on one end) working loose from the lens.

I travel very light and keep an Op/Tech 18" SLR Rainsleeve in my back pocket if there is a threat of rain. Very inexpensive and very well designed. This is almost a disposable item as it is not durable, however, it will keep the rain off of your camera.

it is very hard to use the zoom feature with it on. overall it does not work too well.

For a reasonable price, this rainsleeve works just fine. It kept the water off of my camera and fits where you can work inside the sleeve.

The Op/Tech 18" SLR Rainsleeve is the perfect inexpensive way of protecting your camera and lens from rain, dust and sand simply by using some electrical tape and you are good to go!

Like everything else, you get what you pay for. This will protect your lens while being hand held in the rain or on a tripod. Take it in the brush and all bets are off. I still keep on in my backpack but bought a heavy duty version for AK.

Really flimsy . Could use a zip lock bag and a shoe string and had the same thing.

For being very inexpensive, these worked great. I could see and use my buttons and screen, it attached securely around the lens, and my camera didn't get wet in the drizzle. It was sturdy enough for me to pack up for use again.

Don't really like any of the rain sleeves I've tried but this one isn't bad. It packs small so I can always carry it.

First rain game last night and my Canon was protected perfectly!

I took this on a trip to the Oregon coast and was glad that I did. This is an amazingly easy solution to keeping gear dry for an excepitonal price. Note that each order contains 2 of these sleeves.

When I got the rainsleeve I was so excited to be able to play in the rain and snow. It actually worked very efficiently. My camera remained dry and I was able to photograph on a snowy day and get unexpected results. The sleeve held up well and served its purpose, hastle free. THANK YOU

This has worked without any issues. I can now shot anytime of day or in any weather with this cover. Love it.

I used this product, one on each camera while shooting Victoria Falls. The spray from the falls is amazing but not great for a DSLR camera (or in my case two cameras). This was so easy to use, worked perfectly. I rolled them up and put in my camera cases. You never know when you might need protection from rain, a slight drizzle or spray from waterfalls!

I ordered two. Turns out there is two in each package, apparently I missed that on the Adorama page, so I've got four now. Quality is okay, probably get a couple of uses out of each one before I toss them. Easy enough to pull off and let dry out before putting it back in the bag. Drawstring works pretty good, I put an extra heavy duty rubber band on it though to satisfy my OCD. Quickly slips onto your rig when the rain starts falling. A real nice alternative to overspending on lens/body specific rain slickers from Canon or Nikon.

The Rainsleeve is easy to put on and covers long lenses such as the Tamron 200-500 mm. Flexibility means that changing focal length is easy, and operating the camera is easy too. Just remember not to point the camera skyward during a rain. Protects from dust as well. Good product for the price.

Being caught in the rain in St. Lucia wasn't a problem. I just whipped out my rain sleeve and kept on shooting. They don't cost a lot and does a great job.

I carry this folded in my bag, it does not take up much space. When in use I can look through the viewfinder without any plastic in front of it. It is roomy enough to reach all the controls as needed and all of them are visible through the cover.

I used this rainsleeve on two rainy days in Costa Rica. It was very easy to use and provided effective protection for my Canon 50D with an EF 70-200mm f2.8L lens, both with and without a 1.4 extender. The rainsleeve was easy to put on and take off and the drawstring held it in place around the lens hood. A rubber band might have provided more security, but I didn't need one. I did carry the camera under my poncho and only exposed it while shooting. I brought four rainsleeves, but only used one as it dried overnight and proved quite durable. I saved it and will reuse it in the next rain. The only drawback was the difficulty keeping the small opening around the camera eyepiece. Most of the time I looked through the clear plastic rainsleeve without difficulty.

I bought several of these for an Alaskan trip, thinking it may rain a lot (and it did!). The product worked as advertised. Surprisingly, I was able to use the same rainsleeve for three days, and it is still in usable shape with no damage. Overall, I would recommend this as a very good low-cost, low-weight rainsleeve, suitable for many people and many situations. It's very easy to carry in a camera bag, due to its small size and weight. The lens portion is long enough for my 70-200 zoom with 2x converter, with a little room to spare to fully close up over the lens opening while I was waiting for a shot, and while carrying on my tripod. My only "negative" is that it is hard to use this with your hands inside the bag (sleeve) - I had to work the camera buttons from outside the sleeve. My friend had a much more expensive rainsleeve with openings for your hands on the left and right sides, which made it easier to change settings quickly, especially when handheld (off tripod. This is not a criticism of the Op/Tech, just a comment that depending on your specific usage, you may wish to consider other design options. In summary, it would be hard to beat this product for the price and convenience. I will now keep one package (two sleeves)in my camera bag as a standard accessory. I gave this four stars instead of five only because I don't think it is perfect for every situation possible, but I do think it is absolutely a wonderful product, and I recommend it highly.

I was expecting to keep my hand up in the bag as the picture showed. But after not too long of a hike it was a terrarium in there. And I was never really able to get the eye piece hole to line up with my Canon 60d. But other than that it did exactly what I bought it for and keep the rain off from my camera body in the rain forests of Washington State.

After trashing a D300 in fairly heavy rain, I learned my lesson. I don't need this very often, so the moderately thick plastic works well. I'm assuming a somewhat limited number of uses before I trash it, so I bought four. That should last a number of years.

This worked very well at a college graduation a few weeks ago when it started to rain. It is very easy to slip over the camera and it worked very well with my 100-400mm lens. It has a small hole in the back that you can stretch over your eyepiece so you are looking through the glass rather than plastic. I have a Canon 60D and it is a little tight putting my hands up under the plastic to get to the controls, but it worked well. You probably would not want to try to use this on larger cameras. Unlike other reviews that commented that the plastic was very thin and ripped easily, I find it to be good and solid. I originally bought 4 thinking they would be throw-aways, but they are not. They will last me a very long time. Would definitely recommend to users of the 60D or smaller form factor DSLR cameras.

This product saved my camera. I shot at sporting events, football games. I received the product on Monday and it came in hand on Friday of the same week. Late in the game 2 minutes left, then the game went into 2 overtimes,in a pouring rain storm. I opened the product and employed the item with no problems. If I had not purchased this item either I would have had to stop shooting or run the risk of getting my Nikon D5100 wet and damaged, I had not interest in that. I recommend this product for the money.

You sure wouldn't want to use one of these all the time; but when you need to keep your camera dry temporarily, this does the trick.

The 18" plastic sleeve was too long for my Nikon D5000 with a 18-200mm zoom lens. No worries: I easily cut half of it away, and now it works ok.

This worked great for a rainy trip I took in the spring. Easily slipped over my camera and lens, and was able to use the drawstring to fit it tightly on the lens. No trouble accessing the controls on my camera. Takes up hardly any space in my camera bag, very lightweight.
