FotoTech DSLR Camera Neoprene Lens Pouch Bag - Waterproof Protective Cover for Canon Nikon Sony Panasonic Fujifilm Olympus Pentax Sigma DSLR/SLR/Mirrorless Cameras (Black & Blue, XL) - Perfect for Travel, Outdoor Photography & Equipment Storage

Yes these pouches are thick, as advertised, and what I wanted! Quality is good. I just noticed that the stitching at the top of one of the bags is starting to come apart unfortunately - probably because I put a lens slightly too small for the case and pulled it tight. They are very versatile because they can be used in a case (the AmazonBasics Backpack for SLR Cameras and Accessories-Black in my case), attached to a belt (through the belt loop) attached to other things with the latch, or in another bag. They do take up more space than a thin case (duh) - the draw string and clip on the top of the case take up room! Since they are thick they retain their shape and may not pack nearly in a small space. Protection is excellent which is why I got them)! I would not call the inside velvet, it is the same neoprene as on the outside (in case you thought the inside is lined based on the description - it is not).I would not use this to store lenses with hoods (even reversed) because they do not fit in the opening (other than my 52mm in the large bag - and its too big for that bag anyways). The bag is so thick that I would worry I would compress the hood without knowing it.None of the pouches fit like a glove with my lenses, but I was not expecting that (the Canon pouches would be in the hundreds of dollars). The small fits my Canon 40mm loosely. The medium holds my Canon 28mm loosely. The large fits my Canon 10-22mm and Canon 18-125 loosely. The extra large fits my Canon 70-300 very loosely. I can't step down any of them or they fit too tight (and start unraveling the stitching - don't do that!)One of the reasons I bought this was the excellent reviews on Amazon - and was not disappointed. Add mine to the 5 star rating!
