Rain cover for 7d and 120-300 f2.8 os

Just preparing for my skomer trip. What rain covers do people recommend for the above? I am fairly determined to get out whatever the weather!

Used a stormjacket pro on my 1d and 120-300 think it was the large. Bit pricey though.

Thanks both, will have a look.

Thanks Philip, those camera johnnies look a little bit flimsy for hoiking round Skomer though!

The stormjacket and WWS ones both look fine and similar in design. I will measure my hooded 120-300 with x2 and 7d tonight and see which will fit!

I'd have thought a clear poly bag and a rubber band would do the job. Not very robust I'll admit but plenty cheap enough.

If it was shooting motorsport or something not involving rocks and yomping I would probably go for it but for £40 I think I will have more peace of mind about durability and quality from a more robust product.

I bought 2 packs of these a couple of weeks ago after photographing a very wet wedding. Haven't had to use them since as the weather has been great. Well worth the money
