    I'm looking to take my Epic in some fairly wet environments on sailboats and I'm looking to get a custom made splash proof bag or housing. It does not need to be water proof to any depth rather just repel a heavy soaking from the odd rogue wave. Can anyone recommend a decent product? I'll happily commission a housing that is user friendly and robust enough for adventure shoots, any ideas ?

    Hi Jason, Yes the solution I went with is from SPL. Iv'e been using it on the Americas Cup onboard shoots in Sanfrancisco and my fellow Red shooter Tony Augustinack has been renting it from me for various wakeboard and boating shoots with great success I paid about $7k for the set up. Check them out here. SPL housings

    I'd worry about the Epic 'Jet blast' air discharge trying to breath in a plastic bag.
    Something to consider.
