Last week on my Eigg workshop, Sureita turned up with a small protective wrap by Domke which she was using to cover and protect the tripod cube that she had brought along. This I believe was the small 15” version of this cloth.

I noticed there is a 19” version available so I bought a couple to try out. I’ve experimented at home and I see that the cloth has a plastic membrane which is waterproof on one side, and a felt-like material on the outer. It has velcro on each corner of the cloth.

It appears as though it might be a great accessory for when it’s raining. As I can wrap it around the camera, and tuck in one of the corners at the top to give it more stability. I can even use it as a hood for my filters, which might stop the rain from dripping down the back of the filter.

I’m off to Iceland next week for 10 days and will try this out. Perhaps it’s not suitable. I just don't know yet, but I think it’s rather good for general protection anyway. Let’s see.
