Orca Bags Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Hi again here are a few other items we have in development for our bag line. Please keep in mind that these are still working prototypes and we are still fine tuning and making changes. Please feel free to give any feed back you may have to help us improve our products to make you life better. Below are images of our OR-35 Rain cover and our OR-36 travel cover which ws designed to keep rain, snow, dust and dirt off your bag and gear when you are on traveling. Thanks Quote
AndyB Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Does the OR-35 rain cover stay attached to the harness in a rolled up or "stowed away" form when not in use? If so, that would be awesome. I'd like to have a rain cover that was ready to go at a moments notice like that. Quote
Jan McL Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Looks like a must-have right there. Can't wait to see the finished product. Quote
Boomboom Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 The black cover's really neat ; nice for transport or just moving from set to set. Under the sun though, it could get really hot; maybe have one black side and one silver or white one ? Good job with the bags ! Quote
JDirckze Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Love the dust cover! Usually I bring a Northface style duffel bag but it is heavy and bulky. Can't wait to add this to the kit... Quote
Philip Perkins Posted July 5, 2014 Report Posted July 5, 2014 Would buy OR-36 travel cover tmw if it could have reversable white/black sides. Black is good most of the time, but having a white side for working in the sun would be very good. philp Quote
Jeremy Childers Posted July 5, 2014 Report Posted July 5, 2014 Qr-36 travel cover! I had my wife make me something out of neoprene...this looks way better.(don't tell her) can't wait to get one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
chris_bollard Posted July 5, 2014 Report Posted July 5, 2014 Good to see the rain apron is back. Hope orca brings back the wheelie sound bag Quote
Orca Bags Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Posted July 6, 2014 Hope orca brings back the wheelie sound bag Chris Can you please elaborate on this. Quote
RadoStefanov Posted July 6, 2014 Report Posted July 6, 2014 I rather have a poncho. Rain protection that attach to the harness is a pain... Quote
chris_bollard Posted July 6, 2014 Report Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Chris Can you please elaborate on this. Something similar to the PD337 - a mate has one in blue -so guess it's the previous model. Might be the PCTB-3. I'm after something that has wheels, storage (now that li-ion batteries have to go as carry on when I fly) and will fit in airline carry-on specs. I believe pelican is about to release a light weight case that fits this bill. Thx Edited July 6, 2014 by chris_bollard Quote
Jack Norflus Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 So are you looking for a case that would fit your mixer? Or would it just be for accessories like batteries, laptop, and other things you want to carry on? Quote
chris_bollard Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 Just for laptop, NP1 batteries and accessories when I fly. The mixers and everything else goes in pelican cases. Quote
Jason A Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 If you combined the two you'd have a winner. The dust cover, with a clear top section and elastic openings on each side for your hands. No need for the apron. Quote
pindrop Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 I rather have a poncho. Rain protection that attach to the harness is a pain... I think the reverse of this, I have a perc which is dead easy to attach and leave hanging on one side if the rain stops but might start again. The poncho I have is ok for very heavy persistent rain, but it's transparent window steams up, it's more difficult to access things, and it's overkill for showers. Quote
pkautzsch Posted July 10, 2014 Report Posted July 10, 2014 If you combined the two you'd have a winner. The dust cover, with a clear top section and elastic openings on each side for your hands. No need for the apron. +1, especially to the elastic openings/"glove-sleeves" on each side. Quote
Boomboom Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 +1, especially to the elastic openings/"glove-sleeves" on each side. ...make it +2 ! Like Rado, using the poncho now and I don't think it's hard to manage but if a company was to make that kind of cover I'd buy it in a snap cause I'd slip it in the bag to have it permanently at hand .

chris_bollard Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I have both (perc apron and the poncho) - I was given the poncho as part of a deal when I bought a bag. I have never used the poncho in the rain (only tried it out for size [emoji1]) - if there is any chance of rain I have the apron with me every time. I find the poncho too big, too hard to work under and generally too hot. If the rain is more than the apron can handle I get out of the rain or use an umbrella; but I get that opinions vary about what is more comfortable. Edited July 12, 2014 by chris_bollard Quote
chris_bollard Posted July 17, 2014 Report Posted July 17, 2014 In my dream the bag isn't corporate looking..... Quote
Ze Frias Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 I rather have a poncho. Rain protection that attach to the harness is a pain... So I got one of the rain covers (for free, courtesy of a Gotham Sound promotion), and they do not attach to the harness. Instead, they are more like aprons. There's an adjustable light thin strap that you put around your neck, and the rain cover comes down over your body and bag as an apron. What Orca has done is place a locking mechanism in the edges of the cover, so that you can wrap it around your bag and secure it. My biggest criticism would be that accessing the bag with it on is not that easy. I too, however, prefer a poncho that covers me as well, not just the bag. Quote

Just my opinion Senator Mike, nothing more, but I'll bite: there isn't really other criticisms, as the item just doesn't really suit my needs. I may not be able to get a refund for it (not that I was looking for a refund) but I could likely sell it. Maybe someone has a different opinion and prefers this type of rain protection. Quote
