I ended up returning the rain cover. I don't it is mentioned anywhere here or at the mfr. web site, but the cover is actually sewn to the bag it comes in, so you have to tuck the storage bag somewhere while actually using the cover. I found this odd though I suppose some might like this feature. Also the rain cover will NOT fit the Tamrac 5587 (as Tamrac says it will) when you have installed the optional/recommended side packs (SPX777), it just won't stretch over them. Tamrac has a pretty nice website but they and the description here at Amazon leave out a lot of details a customer who cannot visit a camera store would like to know before purchasing. I also thought this item was just overpriced for what you receive. I returned it and ordered the Mountainsmith backpack rain cover at less than half the price. These run plenty large...I ordered the MEDIUM size and it easily covers my entire pack and side bags with room to spare.Mountainsmith Rain Cover Medium Bag,Black

I bought this rain-cover for my Tamrac bag, since I was traveling to Alaska when it was supposed to rain everyday.

It has good protection, and was very useful during hikes etc. Although if you want to change lens or get filters etc from your bag you'll have to take off the entire cover. The protection from rain seems very good, but putting it on the bag is some work.

Well usually I don't have problems with installation etc. but this cover had so many straps, and I have never used such rain-covers before, so I still haven't figured out how to fasten all the straps. Wish they had some instructions on the box or online.

But even without fastening the straps, simply putting it over my bag and fastening the elastic did the work for me.

Since I guess most Tamrac bags have rain protection you don't really need one if you are going out in a light drizzle, but for more than that I suggest getting this is a good idea.

This cover goes on multiple Tamarac bags that support the MAS system, in my case a Cyberpack 8. The carry case hangs on the side of the pack and the cover makes camera pack virtually waterproof. Although the Cyberpack by itself is very water resistant with the zipper covers pulled tight, in heavier rain, or snow the added protection is nice to have. I highly recommend purchasing this accessory.
