Comments about LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens - Digital Camo:
Seems expensive at first, but if need be I will replace the cover if it wears out.The cover keeps the bare metal of the lens from freezing your hands when the temps drop. It adds some impact and scratch resistance. And when in the bush, it keeps you from standing out.Works well, fits like a glove. If you take your 100-400mm into the field, it is a no brainer-get it.[@]

Comments about LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens - Digital Camo:
I can't afford 'big glass'. So I depend on blending into the environment to get closer to birds and wildlife. The cover also provides a nice grip and feel that allows for smooth operation of the lens on my monopod and when handheld.

Comments about LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens - Digital Camo:
a lot thinner than i thought it would be. More dress up than protection and i wasnt so pleased finding out i would have to glue it to my lens. The smaller bands were very flimsy. Seems like a good 25 dollar item, not for 100.

Excellent product. Great fit. I love the Digital Camo color too. Has a military look to it. A little pricey but I like to keep my equipment immaculate, and with these covers on I don't feel like I need to be so careful about bumping into something with the lens.

Comments about LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens - Digital Camo:
Works as advertised in fact really has exceeded my expectations. Sometimes you read so so reviews but for the most part people do not write when happy about a product. I felt I should write.
Fits like a charm, windows do work and my lens is like new, not a scratch or nick to be found. I think after sending all this money on a lens an insurance policy for under $80 is a no brainer. I have other Lens Coat products and so do my friends. In fact look around next time you are out and see how many larger lenses have them, and then ask yourself why.
Very much recommended!

I just sold my 100-400 lens with scratches on it and could not get the price I wanted because of the condition. Now I bought the Lenscoat for my new 100-400 and I feel 100% confident that this small investment will protect the value of this lens. A great product that I am going to put on all my lenses.

I've been using LensCoat products for the last many years and would highly recommend them. Just yesterday I was walking through a wooded area and I can't tell you how many time my camera brushed up against a thorny bush or hanging branch. Bottom line, no scratches on my lens. After 2 years, still don't have to replace the product. Well worth every penny I spent.

Comments about LensCoat Lens Cover for Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS Lens - Digital Camo:
I have a few of the LensCoat products as I want some protection for my gear and there is no alternative I’m aware of.Personally, I think LensCoat’s products are overpriced (and I don’t buy the [$] to protect $1000 is well spent philosophy, we are talking about neoprene that has a lining). Admittedly, I don’t know what their overhead is and perhaps these things are really hard to make.I think I feel this way as when I get the package and I pull out 3-4 pieces of LensCoat I feel I overspent. I say this because the workmanship//quality could be better, especially at that price. For example, the LensCoat for this lens (100-400) comes in several sections (due to lens design) but one of the sections is not tight enough and continually slips off (but I did not catch this in the B&H return window). The covers for the lens hoods are a little short. The windows that usually covers the switches of focus indicator (not applicable to the 100-400, but to others) is a tad too small as well and I feel could be better implemented.Bottom line, I recommend LensCoat begrudgingly (they have saved my lenses from some unexpected bumps) but I am seeking an alternative for less money. Or at least a better product for the same money.
