Get a good trash bag and just stick it in the bottom of one of the pockets. If you see you'll be in the rain wrap up all the critical stuff in the bag and it should be fine. The key is a GOOD trash bag like a lawn and leaf bag not your normal kitchen bag. When wrapping your gear the bottom needs to be on top so water can't leak in though.

The bag will take up very little room and you'll be ready to travel through a hurricane to your next gig. I shoot football games in the rain all the time with nothing but a trash bag protecting thousands of dollars worth of camera gear.

The lowest quote I think I got was around 230.00 USD total, from one of the stores I emailed. Gotta find which one it was.

Magma quoted me 85 euros for shipping to the US + cost of the bag.

yikes!

If someone wants to buy a couple hundred of these Magma bags I can store and ship them.

It looks like it would easily fit in some of the larger bags from Chrome like the or Timbuk2, maybe once something like a Decksaver comes out those will be more practical since they're mostly just one giant compartment.
