Product Overview

The Pentax Ricoh O-CC173 Silicone Protector Jacket is built for people who actually take their WG-6 or WG-8 out into the rough stuff. Made from tough, form-fitting silicone, it wraps your camera in a shock-absorbing skin that helps fend off bumps, scratches, and everyday knocks without adding bulk. The clear, snug fit keeps your buttons, dials, ports and screen fully accessible, so you can keep shooting instead of fighting your gear.

Designed with wet and dusty conditions in mind, the O-CC173 adds a noticeably more secure grip, especially when your hands are cold, gloved or covered in saltwater and grit. Whether you’re working on site, exploring rock pools, or chasing fish offshore, this jacket helps keep your WG-series camera cleaner, safer and easier to hang onto. Slip it on once and leave it there – it’s a simple, low-fuss upgrade that protects your investment every time you head out.
