It works... however, I expected a more elaborated product design for the price... You can get the same results if you purchase a [$] dry sack and some rubber bands...etc. etc. etc...

Comments about Lightware RC100 Rain Cover:
Good protection for occasional light showers. Heavier rains require taking cover and not relying on this to keep gear dry and working.
Easy to attach and remove on the fly, though.
Comments about Lightware RC100 Rain Cover:
I used this to shoot on location in the philippine islands for a surf editorial. the wrap works well for mist, ocean spray, and light rain, but in a torrential downfall it had a limit to its protection. I used it to shield my body and 600mm, and although the equipment is weather sealed, the rain coat still let in a lot of moisture.I feel its imperative to weather seal the nylon on its inner surface using a spray protectant, as well as rubber seal some of the seams.
Expertise: Pro
Problems Encountered: Needs more aftermarket protection, ie scotch guard or spray sealants to make it totally weatherproof.
