How to protect your Leica for Holi Festival

Normally around this time of year I would be heading back to document the Holi festival in Varanasi, India.
I have been documenting this festival since 2008.
Unfortunately I won’t be there this year but I thought I would post a video showing how I prepare my Leica M-D 262 to protect me from the powders and liquids that are thrown over anybody who is on the street.
