It is completely sealed and you can be absolutely sure that there will be no penetration of light as long as the zippers are completely closed and the hands are brought in with the sleeve above the elbow.

Q: 8. How does it compare with the Giottos rocket blower? The Giottos is described as having a valve that allows only clean air to be blown out.

A: Sensei, Giottos... What difference at this point does it make? Thoreau gave the best advice: Simplify, simplify. Simpler is always better...and I've used the Sensei blower in some relatively dusty environments (Kenya's Masai Mara in February, Chile's Atacama Desert. Lastly, if you are cleaning your camera sensor other than very infrequently...you are cleaning it too often or you've got a major problem.
