The FurTech pockets offer various advantages for cameras:
- The fabrics are soft and produce very little lint so you may decide you don't need a camera case.
- The pockets are insulated and keep the battery and electronics warm - cameras don't like sub-zero conditions.
- The FurTech fabrics offer moderate impact protection and because the camera is on my chest, I feel better able to protect it.
- Cameras can be attached to the loop on the inside of the chest pocket in case you drop it.
- The very breathable fabrics allow any dampness to dry off the surface.
However, condensation can occur on the surface of a cold camera, phone or GPS due to the breathability of the FurTech lining. And we don't guarantee our pockets are 100% waterproof, so in heavy rain you may want to consider using a plastic bag.
I use an Olympus Mju 790SW (which is now superseded by the Olympus Tough). It's waterproof and shock proof and I keep it in my chest pocket which means I can use it with very little hassle to take quick snaps, working on the basis that the more I take, the more chance of getting a good shot.
