Matador Camera Base Layer Carrying your camera on a lanyard leaves it open to getting bumped, splashed, and overwhelmed by the elements. Not with Matador's padded shell in tow.

Hanging a camera on your body while staying active in the outdoors is a double-edged sword.  One the one hand, you’ll need your camera out of the bag to capture those picturesque moments that come and go in an instant. On the other, doing that almost always puts your expensive DSLR in harm’s way. While there’s no way to guarantee that harm won’t come to your expensive photography gear, the Matador Camera Base Layer minimizes the chances of any potential mishap.

Like a base layer that wears snugly over your body, this padded shell wears over your DSLR, keeping it protected from bumps and scratches, while it hangs from a lanyard or waist strap you’re wearing. That way, you can keep it nearby, ready to shoot without leaving it open to the elements, all while giving it an immediate layer of protection.

The Matador Camera Base Layer consists of a down-padded technical shell with an integrated rain fly, so it can protect your camera from surprise downpours and splashes, too.  Designed to slip on and take off in just one second, it lets you pull your camera out in a jiffy, ensuring you won’t miss those fleeting photographic moments.  It’s sized to accommodate most DSLR and micro-4/3 cameras in the market, even with lenses on, so it should handle whatever rig you currently work with.  Features include a secure grip strip closure, buckles on each side for clipping to a carabiner or hanging on a strap, and a light weight of 68 grams.
