Rain slickers for cameras are a customized way to protect your camera from rain, dust and snow. The rain slicker exterior layer is made from nylon Taslan material and complemented by a soft tricot interior that won't scratch your equipment. The Taslan material is both waterproof and breathable, which keeps the camera dry while also preventing the camera from overheating. The rain slickers have extra material that can be extended for additional protection.
A clear vinyl window provides an unobstructed view of the controls and a quick-change rear panel gives you easy access to the battery compartment. The detachable front visor keeps rain off the lens. A triple-zippered bottom makes tripod mounting easy.

• Waterproof & breathable Taslan material
• Clear vinyl windows over control panel
• Detachable front visor, triple-zip bottom
• Quick-change battery back
• Tripod, shoulder mount, or hand-held

Q: 7. Is touchscreen still accessible when using sunshade?

A: Very good soft protection for on the field action, all access possible, relatively easy and good multi purpose protection. Still waiting for the Atomos Sunshade and tough box to make my opinion on what is best to buy, but so far so good, I find the clear screen useless tho, as you can't control the screen when on, but could still be useful under heavy rain... but personally i won't take that risk. I rate 6.5/10 but paid $72 and so far i'm happy with it even if a few details could be improved... as in most things
