OP Tech and Ruggard (check the spelling) both make rain covers. The 5Dm4 and the 70-200L are weather sealed so I only use the OP Tech cover for heavy rain.

…DelRae…I have a ThinkTank rain cover…it was about 40 bucks…I also have a cover for the snow that helps keep my hands warm…but it actually is a pain to use a cover on a camera…

I keep a couple of JJC rain covers in my bag. Not a perfect solution but the do the trick when needed. They are just a plastic bag like sleeve. You can get them on Amazon and they are cheap. They are basicly a one time use disposable solution. Certainly if you expect to be shooting in bad weather a lot you would want something more permanent and durable. In a pinch when nothing else is available I have used a gallon ziploc bag. I usually keep an assortment of sizes in my bag also they come in handy for many things. Cut a hole in the bottom corner just smaller than the front of the lens pull it over the front of the lens carefully so it stretched and doesn’t tear. Pull it to just behind where the lens hood is, secure it with a rubber band and pull the rest over the barrel of the lens and the body.

I use a LensCoat RainCoat medium sleeve for my Nikon with 70-200mm. I use a large sleeve for longer lenses (300mm + TC). I bought them through B&H Photo 5+ years ago. Still in very good condition. They have Velcro opening on the underside to allow you to slip the cover over your camera/lens. I leave the front Velcro part open so I can use my left hand to adjust the zoom. The sleeve is long enough to cover the lens with a lens hood, which will keep the majority of rain off your front element. I’ve used the LensCoats in heavy rain and no issues at all.
