Is there such thing as a rainproof cover for JUST a body? (Specifically, the X-S10)

My thought was to have fewer layers between the lens and the image while also protecting the body itself. I wasn't necessarily bent on the idea of a "shower cap" for the body that excluded the lens, my idea was more something that covered the body but didn't have an additional element in front of the lens.

Either way, Weather Resistance is probably the next major upgrade I'll be looking at in a body.

A lot of the rain sleeve solutions don't cover the front of the lens. They cover the lens barrel and have cinch to tighten around near the end of the barrel, close to the lens hood.

Correct and you want that distance from the mount incase of a leak and they can dribble a little in a downpour.
