HI, looking to purchase a raincover for my 800 mm lens and was wondering which ones folks here are using and how they like them? Appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance.

Lenscoat Raincoat 2. I've been very pleased with this cover.

I use some covers my wife made for me. I'm not big on advertising myself in the field, but she affixed the logo and name using vinyl transfer... and they were Xmas gifts, so I wasn't going to turn them down. They came out well and we definitely saved some money this way. If you're interested, she's made them for some other photographers, so I may be able to convince her to do something for you. I'd be happy to give you more info via email or PM.
Otherwise, I have friends who are more than happy with the Think Tank rain cover for large lenses. Not sure if it works on an 800, but I'd assume so.
THanks Keith and Max, I opted for the Lenscoat Pro, will see how it works out in a couple weeks with a winter trip to Yellowstone. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and give me options!

I like the one Newswear makes and Ive been seeing ThinkTanks at football games and it looks really sweet.
