Would this not be a great protection against the salty air when doing beach shots, even if there is no rain or even perceptible water mist?

I think this would be fine in that situation. I've used it in snow and light rain and it worked great. My camera is not weather sealed so I worry about wet weather

Yes it offers good protection. I shoot a lot at the ocean and this protects from salty air and sand that may be blowing in the breeze.

I didn't experiment it in the rain. I would think so. Plus, all artists use it so as it is very popular I would think so.If you leave in MA, you can come over and check it out! Cat

It will keep a light mist off, but actually tried to use it as an umbrella in a heavy rain, and it didn't hold the rain off very well. It did keep some rain off though.

It's not really weather PROOF, per se, but it is fairly well weather resistant. I have had mine out in a moderate rain storm with no problems. I think kayaking, carefully, with it would not be a problem. I do not think that water would get inside just from splashes, but submerging it would still cause problems I think. Also, I would be more worried about the salt in the water. After getting it home I'd clean it very thoroughly if it is exposed to salt water. In the end, if it were me, I would still get some kind of bag or housing for mine if I were to want to take it salt water kayaking, in case of submersion and the salt water.

rain and instances like that. if it were to be submerged in water, moderate protection. everything is basically covered. just get it out quick!

I hung mine in a patio and its partially exposed. And no, since its canvas, it's not water repellant. I cover mine and its fine.

Well, it will keep you covered, and it will definitely dry you, but it's not going to provide either insulation value or wind protection. It should shed sand ok, but it's not designed to be handling real dirt...softeners and bleaches will decrease it's ability to hold water according to what I've read.

The camera itself is or appears to me to be fully waterproof in itself and then the case adds further protection but in any sort of heavy or wind driven rain the camera will get wet. That cannot be avoided but was anticipated in the camera design. The main purpose of the box is really to protect the camera from theft.

I've never used it in "wet/humid weather". I'm sure it'll dry quickly as it is very thin.

If it would be fully exposed to the elements we wouldn't trust it to be water proof. Also,.not.knowing the climate in which you live, dust could be.an issue as well. It's a clever idea. I'd recommend draping it with a plastic table cloth when not in use. Then I think it would suit your need.

I would not say 'fully' water proof. I feel comfortable having if it is raining and I am not going to be out in it an extended amount of time. I will add though I am very paranoid about my gear getting wet so I might be overly cautious.

Not sure. I have never used it in the rain or around water. The instructions said when not in use, keep away from direct sunlight and moisture. Due to the structure of the scope, I can see water being an enemy to it. If moisture was to get inside, it would fog the lens thus probably messing it up. Mold etc.. So I would say no. If a few drops of rain were to hit it while out scoping, just wipe it off and put the scope up nice and dried. I hope that answered your question.

If it got knocked over with the water in it, yes. But if just running it on a wooden table, no. The cool air is diffused straight up, with this particular model, so no moisture or mist is directed toward the table.

I love these hats. We certainly use them poolside and at the beach. The chinstrap makes it virtually impossible for the hat to blow off and it dries quickly. We haven't had any trouble with the hats getting dirty. That being said, I don't know that the hat would hold up well if it were going to be drenched all of the time. The brim might get pretty floppy. It is a great way to protect from the harmful rays of the sun!

It would help keep a any off the sand, but the mesh and opening would allow plenty of air circulation. I think this would be perfect for the beach. It's a well built little tent.

Not at all, it's actually great for days like that....enough protection so you don't get wet but not too thin so the humidity feels like its sticking to you. I've been very happy with it for just that purpose. For reference, I live in a humid midwest type climate so we get plenty of those hot humid days.
