Heavy splash proof bag housing required for Epic

[Jon Nash]

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 ?

ever find a solution John? cant believe how hard this is. Air Sea land don't make their T-Bag any more either.

Wondering if anyones found a Ewa Marine bag that kinda works?.. they make on for Aaton minima

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

P.S Ewa Marine have told me they are working on a bag solution. Nothing yet but its in the pipeline.

Jon - how much does their housing weigh?

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