STORM JACKET WATERPROOF COVERS FOR TELEPHOTO SETUPS

Keep shooting in the rain! Storm Jacket waterproof covers are a compact and convenient option for protecting your telephoto setup during use in inclement weather. These covers come in a small zippered case with clip for compact storage. In the event of rain, sleet, or snow, the Storm Jacket can be pulled over your telephoto lens within seconds and back over the camera. It can be removed just as easily.

Made of waterproof AquaNylon, this version of the Storm Jacket weighs roughly 1 oz and offers adjustable bungee closures at both ends for a custom fit. Openings at both ends allow you access to your camera on one side and an unhindered view for your lens on the other.

NatureScapes.Net has stocked standard sizes, plus offers custom sizes, exclusively available at NatureScapes.Net, especially for long telephoto applications. The 26” long version accommodates most 500mm f4 lenses, even when combined with a teleconverter and SLR camera body. The 30” version is for most 600mm f4 telephoto setups, with extra room for camera and teleconveter.

Storm Jacket photos (right) illustrate setup with a Wimberley Head II. The cover is pulled back over the camera at the top, and stops at the lens foot at the bottom. Setups such as this allow unobstructed access to the gimbal head knobs and also allow flash to be used when mounted to the lens plate or head directly.

Each size is available in black and now, exclusively at NatureScapes.Net, in a camouflage pattern with black Storm Jacket logo at half size.

SIZING

For the best fit, measure your setup from viewfinder to the end of the extended hood. When measuring, also consider if you typically use teleconverters, extension tubes, or hoods as well. A Storm Jacket that is slightly longer or shorter should still be effective.
