Matin Camera Rain Cover V2 M07100 Dslr Waterproof Protector Black
Don't buy until Matin discloses its waterproof coating type.
The polyester rain cover gets waterproofed somehow, but Matin won't say how. Waterproof fabrics often use PFAS chemicals, yet this brand provides no testing or confirmation.

What Matin Camera Rain Cover V2 Protector Black is made of, ingredients and materials
The Matin V2 M07100 is constructed from polyester fabric with an unspecified waterproof coating. Polyester itself is chemically stable and poses minimal leaching risk under normal use. However, the waterproof coating's composition is the critical unknown, it may rely on fluorinated compounds (PFAS), silicone, or polyurethane, each with different durability and off-gassing profiles. Without manufacturer disclosure, you cannot assess whether the coating will degrade and shed microparticles or release volatile compounds in storage.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
Water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
PFAS
Waterproof fabric coatings commonly use PFAS compounds for durability; Matin has not disclosed composition. Graded separately at 40/100 safety due to unknown risk profile.
Source, ATSDR ↗Coating degradation and microparticle shedding
Polyester-based rain covers experience coating wear over 2-3 years of use and storage; peeling or flaking coatings may release fine particles of uncertain composition into camera equipment and the environment.
What’s reassuring
Off-gassing from unspecified binders
No reported off-gassing complaints exist for this specific model. Polyester+generic waterproof coatings rarely emit significant volatile organic compounds under normal storage, but sealed storage in heat may promote minor release.
Heavy metals
Black polyester covers typically use carbon black or organic dyes; heavy metal contamination (lead, cadmium) is not a known issue in this product category, though not independently tested for this model.

The brand's record and disclosure
Matin is a mid-tier camera accessory manufacturer with no publicly available environmental or chemical disclosure statements on their website or product documentation. No independent testing, PFAS certification, or material safety data sheets appear to be routinely published for this product line. The brand's silence on coating composition is typical of budget-tier camera gear but leaves end-users without the transparency needed to make fully informed choices.
How it compares in its category
Camera rain covers are largely unregulated commodities with minimal third-party safety oversight. Most competitors (Canon, Nikon OEM covers, Peak Design) similarly do not disclose waterproof coating chemistry, making this product neither worse nor better in terms of transparency. Professional-grade alternatives sometimes use silicone-based coatings with published specs, but cost significantly more. This product sits in the typical information vacuum of the budget accessory market.
If you buy it
Store the cover in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to minimize coating degradation and off-gassing. Avoid prolonged storage in sealed bags or hot vehicles, which can concentrate any volatile emissions. Inspect the fabric annually for cracks, peeling, or stiffness; replace if coating visibly degrades. Before purchase, contact Matin customer service directly and request the safety data sheet or coating supplier name; their response (or lack thereof) will tell you how seriously they take material transparency.
