My gear is constantly getting banged around and I like the protection the neoprene offers. This lens tends to get cold quickly when shooting outside and the LensCoat is like a barrier making more comfortable to handle over longer periods of time.

Comments about LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens - Black:
While I didn't hesitate to spend the extra money to protect an expensive lens, this was just a waste of money. The covering for the tension ring slips off as soon as it's touched, so it's useless. You have to trim to fit the other parts, just not what you would expect for the price. Very disappointing.

Lenscoats protect my lens from getting scratches and nicks so resale value stays very high. While in the field it keeps my hands warmer in the winter. They also give protection against the rain and snow. What more could I ask for. This is an excellent product that everybody should own.

Comments about LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens - Black:
I ordered the lens coat in black. The largest piece of the coat was for the hood, which is already black so that was pretty pointless. Three other pieces were not even shipped cut to size....it was more of a do it yourself project. And with the design of the 100-400 zoom, large parts of the lens cannot be coated (at least when the lens is zoomed out to 400mm). The vendor does warn about that limitation though until you use the product it is not clear just how big of a difference that makes. Finally, the price was pretty exhorbitant for what you get. I probably would have given it three stars if it cost one quarter of its price.
