Comments about Vortex Media Pro SLR Storm Jacket Camera Cover, Medium (Camo):
Since it's winter I have only had the change to use it when it's been snowing. It worked great to photograph waterfoul during a snowstorm. Before having this I would have never taken my camera out in this kind of weather. I could see this working on the sidelines at football games. Well maybe not in camo!

Comments about Vortex Media Pro SLR Storm Jacket Camera Cover, Medium (Camo):
This product does exactly what I need it to do: effectively keep direct/pouring rain off the camera and lens. I strong recommend the "Pro" version because it has the opening on the bottom for tripod use.

Comments about Vortex Media Pro SLR Storm Jacket Camera Cover, Medium (Camo):
Purchased this for a recent trip to the Pacific NW where it rained more days than not, and it was a life saver. Was able to take the camera out in nearly all conditions encountered and brought back some nice temperate rainforest shots. Although it is a bit pricy for what it is - basically a waterproof tube w/ drawstrings - you'll forget about the price as soon as you're out on the trail taking pictures. (This trip actually made me realize my own rain jacket wasn't adequate for extended outdoor shooting as the camera stayed drier than I did.) If you're serious about taking pictures, make sure to go w/ the pro version which allows for a tripod - or, possibly, if turned upside down - a flash, though the flash configuration I used was a short cable to my flash which was inside a clear plastic sleeve. Also, in extreme rainy conditions, droplets of water will get inside just from handling the camera - no fault of the Storm Jacket - so take along a chamois or other rag as it will be necessary to occasionally wipe off the few drops that make it inside either end of jacket. If shooting w/ a lens that doesn't have some weather sealing, be careful about moisture coming in where it is cinched on the lens end. I found that for extended shooting in the elements, it won't stay cinched on most lens hoods and will settle in behind the lens hood where water can collect. Again, a chamois or rag should allow you to stay ahead of this collection, though.

I purchased the medium sized cover with the opening for the tripod. It will fit my Canon SLR with a 100-400 lens attached. Purchased for use in a rainy September in Alaska. Looks well made.

Comments about Vortex Media Pro SLR Storm Jacket Camera Cover, Medium (Camo):
If you buy the correct size it works well, if it's too big it's really fiddly to get to your eyepiece, too small and obviously it doesn't cover the camera properly, on the storm cover website it says that it's ok if the cover is bigger as it just bunches up, sounds good in theory but doesn't really work that way.
the velcro bottom that opens up to allow for a tripod or manual focusing is good but for focusing it should just be an elastic opening or something as it's tricky to get the velcro open while holding your camera.
so yes it works, still not perfect but definetly better than nothing, having said that, i wouldn't say it's good value for money pretty expensive for a little piece of material with two elastic straps.
