Hope all is well. I can’t help but notice that you chose not to include pictures of the not quite fancy rain rig.

Snow never causes the mess and now with the newer gear, I don't have to worry about losing batteries to the cold. That’s why I say, “Give me snow over rain any day.”

I moved up to a Kata rain cover earlier this year and have been pretty happy with it. One problem though is that the clear plastic part that you have to look through for the viewfinder and lcds can steam up on the inside. With a little gaff tape, I would think the hacked-up rain suit could look totally pro! don j Nice!…

They are 18" long, made of Tyvek and have elastic at both ends. I'm not sure if they would work as well as your bag but may protect a long lens. Here is a link that shows the item. They are less than a dollar. http://www.envirosafetyproducts.com/product/Tyvek-Sleeves-with-Elastic.html Hi Gary,

I painstakingly unstitched the sleeves of a cheap anorak a few years ago and they've done great service ever since... 2 for the price of one! Enjoyed reading this... and I thought I was a cheapskate! haha. “You can buy a really cheap rain suit and then cut off the leg” pffft… leg?
