There’s rarely an outdoor excursion where we’re not bringing along a camera or two. As useful as a camera bag is, we always seem to just get by with tucking our kit into a thick wool beanie–an effective but lazy solution that’s the opposite of waterproof unless a dry sack is used in tandem.
Offering a more utilitarian solution is Hyperlite Mountain Gear and their newly unveiled Camera Pod, for outdoorsing photographers in desperate need of a weatherproof protective upgrade (that’s us).
To get a feel for the admittedly akward looking piece, we took the pod for a multi-day hike in New York's Adirondack High Peaks region to put it to the test.
