Review on 🌧️ Ultimate Protection in Style: Peak Design Black Shell Medium Form-Fitting Rain and Dust Cover by Chris Bowden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

solid, reliable and well designed, but only you can determine if it's worth it.

Possibly one of the most sophisticated camera rain covers ever designed. However, it has no downsides as far as I can tell while using it. It even manages to fold down into a compact size, giving it more reason to live in your pocket all the time. The medium size is perfect for a mirrorless camera like my Fujifilm X-T2 in combination with a 16-55mm Ζ’/2.8 lens. It's a bit short with my 50-140mm Ζ’/2.8 lens. Both the lenses and the camera body are weatherproof, but the cover is there to keep everything dry when the rain gets really wet, like here in Seattle. The cap has a small lip in case you don't use a lens hood. Protected by an internal bungee, it appears to work with anything up to 82mm in diameter, maybe even larger. There are also bungees on the back to secure the camera body when not in use. Overall it works and is made of durable materials. It may not cost you the price, but it's better than buying plastic bags all the time. to secure the camera body when not in use. Overall it works and is made of durable materials.
