OVERVIEW
The Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover Small is a lightweight, compact protective cover made for photographers who need fast weather protection without adding bulk to their kit.

- Mirrorless cameras with attached lenses of similar size

Weather Protection for Unpredictable Conditions
The Emergency Rain Cover Small is built for photographers who do not want to stop shooting when light rain starts falling. Its water-resistant man-made materials help protect your camera from moisture and debris, while the compact form is well suited to smaller setups. It is especially useful when carrying minimal gear and needing a simple, grab-and-go protective solution.
Compact, Lightweight, and Easy to Pack
At only about 3.2 oz, this rain cover adds very little weight to your loadout. It folds down small enough to keep in many camera bags, jacket pockets, or accessory pouches, making it a smart insurance item for photographers working outdoors. Because it is so portable, it is easy to keep one on hand at all times during changing weather seasons.
Designed for Practical Shooting Access
A clear viewing area helps you see your camera’s rear screen and controls while the cover is in place, so you can continue composing and adjusting settings without fully exposing your gear. The lens opening is designed to cinch around the front of the lens for a more secure fit, helping reduce the amount of water that can enter during use.
Ideal Use Cases
This cover is well suited to outdoor portrait sessions, nature walks, travel photography, sports sidelines, documentary projects, and everyday carry kits. It is particularly useful for photographers who work in variable climates and want a simple protective accessory rather than a larger dedicated all-weather enclosure.
Materials and Build
Think Tank uses nylon, polyester, and other water-resistant man-made materials to balance portability with practical protection. While this cover is designed to resist rain and moisture, it is best understood as a water-resistant emergency cover rather than a fully watertight underwater or extreme-weather housing.
How It Compares
Compared with larger rain covers, the Small version is better for compact camera-and-lens combinations and takes up less room in your bag. It is a better choice when low weight and portability matter most. Photographers using longer telephoto lenses or larger pro bodies may need a larger cover size for more complete fit and handling room.
Usage Tips
Before heading into bad weather, practice fitting the cover over your camera so deployment becomes quick and intuitive. Pair it with a lens hood to help keep rain off the front element. After use in wet conditions, let the cover dry completely before packing it away to help preserve the materials over time.
Recommended Accessories
Useful companion items include a microfiber cloth for wiping away moisture, a lens hood for additional front-element protection, silica gel packs for moisture control inside your bag, and a weather-resistant camera bag or backpack for broader transport protection. A protective filter can also help keep water and debris off the front of the lens.
