LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short (Ø13.9cm x 21.6cm) Realtree Edge

LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short Realtree Edge, generous protection for larger lenses

You’re carrying around a substantial lens and don’t want it just lying loose in your backpack? That’s exactly what the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short (Ø 13.9 cm x 21.6 cm) in Realtree Edge camouflage is made for. It offers plenty of space for large optics and special photo accessories without feeling bulky.

The XXL Short version is particularly well suited to fast, not-too-long telephoto lenses with a larger diameter. Typical candidates include the Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR NIKKOR, the Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S NIKKOR (2022), or the Fuji 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR XF. Lenses like these are not only expensive but also delicate, and this is exactly where this lens case plays to its strengths.

Soft neoprene protects against impacts and scratches

The LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short is made of soft yet dimensionally stable neoprene. This material absorbs shocks and protects against impacts and scratches when your lens is in a backpack, camera bag, or suitcase. Especially when traveling, in the car, or in the chaotic everyday mix of work, hobbies, and maybe a weekend trip, that’s worth its weight in gold.

There is also an integrated rigid foam plate in the bottom of the bag. This protects the front element of your lens when you set the bag down or place it a bit more roughly. That way you have fewer worries that the front element or filter thread might take a hit when things get a bit rough on the go.

Neoprene construction helps against weather, dirt, dust & moisture

The closed neoprene construction of the LensPouch helps against weather, dirt, dust & moisture by enclosing your lens all around. Of course, it doesn’t replace a waterproof hard case, but it reliably keeps splashes, fine dust, and dirt away from the lens barrel. Especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors—in the woods, on the coast, in the stadium, or on dusty country roads—this is a very welcome safety factor.

The Realtree Edge camouflage pattern is not only visually interesting, but above all practical for nature and wildlife photography. Your gear appears less conspicuous, doesn’t reflect harshly in the sun, and blends better into the surroundings. It’s not magic, but sometimes it’s exactly the small difference that keeps an animal from being startled.

Neoprene with insulating function for sensitive optics

Neoprene naturally has an insulating function. This means your lens is somewhat better protected against rapid temperature changes, for example when you go from a warm interior into cold winter air or vice versa. Condensation can’t be completely avoided, but the transitions become a bit gentler. For high-quality telephoto lenses with lots of glass inside, that’s a real plus.

At the same time, the bag feels pleasant when you carry it in your hand—not icy cold in winter, not sticky hot in summer. It sounds trivial, but in daily use it makes more of a difference than you might think at first.

Practical drawstring closure for quick access

The LensCoat LensPouch XXL Short is closed with a robust drawstring. Just pull it tight and the lens is safely stowed. No fiddly zippers that jam at the crucial moment. When things have to move quickly—subject spotted, bag open, lens out—it works very directly and without detours.

The drawstring also ensures that the opening remains flexible. This lets you pack and unpack lenses with a mounted lens hood (depending on length) or slightly different diameters with ease, without feeling like the bag is about to “burst at the seams.”

Belt loop and carabiner for flexible attachment

On the side of the lens case there is a loop about 2.54 cm wide. This allows you to attach the LensPouch to a belt, a carrying system, or a backpack strap. That way you have your telephoto lens right on your body without having to rummage around in your backpack all the time.

There is also a sturdy carabiner hook integrated. With it you can hang the bag, for example, on a camera bag, on a loop inside a backpack, or on a carrying system of your choice. Especially when traveling or on longer photo tours, this is a very flexible solution; you simply adjust the position to match your working style.

Folds flat for space-saving transport

When the LensCoat LensPouch XXL Short is empty, you can fold it almost flat. This saves a lot of space in your suitcase or drawer when you’re out without a big telephoto. So you don’t have to store a bulky hard case, but instead have a soft bag that adapts to your luggage.

This is particularly practical if you use several sizes of LensPouch and only have the bags you currently need “active” in use while the others are stored compactly.

The LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short offered here with Ø 13.9 cm x 21.6 cm is specifically designed for lenses with a large diameter and medium length. It is ideal for many fixed focal length telephoto lenses such as the Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR NIKKOR, the Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S NIKKOR (2022), or the Fuji 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR XF, depending on the mounted lens hood and configuration.

Note on choosing the size, allow for a little extra room

So that the LensPouch XXL Short can be properly closed, you should add about 2 to 2.5 cm to the actual lens length when selecting the size. This leaves enough room for the drawstring and, if necessary, a mounted lens cap or a compact lens hood.

If you’re unsure, measure your lens including front and rear caps and compare the dimensions with the specified internal dimensions of the bag. A little bit of extra space is usually more comfortable than a cover that fits too tightly and that you have to “force over” the lens every time.

Areas of use, from travel to wildlife

Whether you travel a lot, regularly stalk wildlife in the forest, or simply want to store your telephoto lens safely in the studio: the LensCoat LensPouch Lens Case XXL Short Realtree Edge is made for all these scenarios. It protects your equipment during transport, keeps your camera bag organized, and gives you peace of mind when you take expensive optics with you.

Thanks to the Realtree Edge camouflage pattern, the bag blends particularly well into natural environments. At the same time, it remains functional and no-nonsense—no fashionable frills, but a well-thought-out accessory for photographers who know what they’re doing (or at least mean it seriously).
