Till now, I've been using those cheap Optech rain covers, which are fine, but have their limitations and I want something a bit more stealthy and robust. What do you recommend?

I have a similar/related question & would be interested in the answers to your question, too! I use a think tank emergency cover at the moment, although I don’t feel as comfortable using it in heavy rain as I do with my think tank hydrophobia 300-600 that I use for the larger lenses. The 300-600 is a bit too large for the 500/z8 combo, and I was wondering if anyone has used the hydrophobia 70-200 with the combo (specifically as to whether they fit properly especially as I need to use the ftz adapter as well)? Would also be interested in other brands, too. Thanks.
I use Stormjacket which is simple and easy to use. Unfortunately, B&H is not listing them and when I go to the company website all sizes say sold out. Not sure if they are still actively making them or not?

I no longer have the 500PF (went to all Z lenses when I got my Z8), but I used to use it when I had a 500PF and D500. The size is not labelled on my pouch, so I forget if I got the medium or large. I measured it just now and it seems to be 17 inches long.
