Built into the bottom of this insert with shoulder strap could be a place to store the big yellow rolled up outer cover. Otherwise it puts a whole new meaning on a "never ready" camera case. For white water, monsoons or water balloon fight season I'd pick the option of putting my working camera bag of choice into a third party waterproof duffel. Here's one: http://www.roadrunner.travel/2012/02/11/givi-tw01-duffel-bag/ Givi TW01 Duffel Bag " Givi?s 100 percent waterproof duffel bag is a little different than others on the market. The first noticeable difference is the material. It isn?t black and shiny. Instead, the Italian manufacturer decided to use thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is particularly light and resistant to extreme temperatures and abrasions. It is also recyclable and nontoxic. When not in use, the TW01 can be compacted more than some of its competitors. Two straps mount the duffel to virtually any passenger seat or luggage rack. It also comes with a shoulder strap for convenient carrying. Reflective areas around the bag add an element of safety. -" " Size: 40 liters Color: black Prices: $89.99 to $99" Another option is to drop my bag into a Pelican case. several of which I've already owned. One with holes for a strap on the sides so it can be carried hands free. I belive Pelican has been the industry standard on extreme weather proofing for decades. http://www.pelican.com/ I love the Pelican company.
