Looking for a rain cover



Hello all,

I have a very nice pair of Swarovski Habicht 7x42 porro binoculairs.
I'm very happy with them and wouldn't change them for any other bins.

But one minor issue...

I wair glasses so I need to fold down the cups on top of the bins.
Then the diameter increases and the original rain covers won't fit any more.

So I tried some other rain covers but found two challenges.

Some covers are to small and pull up the cups, others are to loose and fall of during walking.

So, does somebody have an suggestion for a rain cover for my beloved bins which fit, don't fall of and don't pull up the cups when removing?

I'm not ready (yet) to trim of the excess rubber of the cups of my bins.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Eye cups for my 10 x 42 SE Nikon are 45mm wide when folded and the raincover, while slightly tight, goes on and comes off easily.

Tnx Bob for your reply.

Don't you have any problems with unfolding the cups when removing the rain cover?
