Dust/sand jacket for VX2000	Can't Post

I just ordered at Sony VX2000 and will be bringing it to mexico next week to build some houses for them (our church youth group is going) I hear it is real sandy and dusty and I would like to get a good jacket for the camera. Is there anything that works well that isnt to expensive? I've seen the rain ones but I thought there may be something different. Please let me know if you know.
Thanks

What do you consider too expensive? I know you meantioned that you seen the rain jackets but consider that the portabrace can be had for less than $140, you can use it as a multipurpose cover.

I shoot an awards trip in Mexico every year and all the activities that surround that...ATV rides, dune buggy junkets, horseback riding, beach activites, you name it. I use a VX1000 with a Porta Brace rain jacket...alot! I think I paid around $185 for it....some of the best money I ever spent! Think about what you spent for your camera and the repercussions of not having protection. Its a no-brainer, I would not even consider going out of the country without it.
Have a good trip.

Last I checked (which was a while ago) the portabrace covers could not be used with a tripod (unless you cut a hole in the frabric) Do they now have this capability now? Thanks-Jim

Yes, there is a three way zipper on the bottom. Works great!
