for those who take thier dslr out w/ 'em, any recommendations for a waterproof case ? not necessarily a housing that you can shoot thru, but anything for transporting thru a wet environment. i saw a wxtex case that seemed nice. basically a dry bag fro a camera. it has belt adn shoulder strap attachments which i really like. tah way i can keep it handy in front of me fro shooting. or easily detach it if needed. anyone have any experience w/ this one in particular ? or anything that you have found works well.

thanks !

I've had great luck with Ortlieb products. They are pricey...and worth every nickel. I haven't used their camera bags, though.

For extra protection in a pack, these are hard to beat:

Hank, do you have one of these handy? Can they be found locally? I would like to see one before I purchase it online...
