The Vortex Rainguard easily attaches to the strap of your binoculars so it's always ready. This rainguard style has a nice snug fit due to its tapered design.
Note: This Vortex Rainguard works well with most mid-size or full-size binoculars.
Love these!

We have two of these -- one that came with my Vortex Viper binocs, the second to fit over an older pair of Nikons. For the Vortex binocs, I absolutely love them -- best thing since sliced bread. No more lost lens caps and resulting frustration. And using a small aluminum carabineer to clip them to the strap's ring attachment to the binocs, they are quickly out of the way when I rip them off to spot a bird or other wildlife.
The second pair on the Nikons is not a great fit, but keeps melting ice cream off the lenses, so worth it.
I would highly recommend these. They have not shown any deterioration in the 9 months I've used them.
Fits Nikon Monarch ATB perfectly

If you have a Nikon Monarch ATB binocular, this is the one cover that fits perfectly. This should be the rainguard that comes with the Nikons.
Just take the original cover and throw it in the trash where it belongs, then buy this raincover.
Thank you Vortex for a great product.
Jefro.
Excellent for Nikon Monarch

Fits perfectly over my Nikon Monarchs. It's an excellent alternative to the loose rainguard that shipped originally with it.
good service

I needed a rainguard for a pair of Scheels binos, I gave them the size of the eyepiece, and they sent me a perfect fit.
Excellent for various sizes of binos

I got two pairs of these rainguards to replace the lost eyepiece caps on a pair of newer 7x50 marine binoculars and on a 1960s-vintage pair of Nikons. The rubber is soft and sticky, and the cups are tapered, so that they fit both pairs beautifully. If you are worried about sizing, the design of these eyecups makes them able to accommodate different types of binoculars.
Fits and keeps rain off

I purchased this rainguard to replace the original that came with our Nikon Monarch binoculars. It seems to have done the trick quite nicely. The fit is adequate and it keeps the rain (and dust, crumbs, etc.) off the lenses.
Rainguard works just fine

The rainguard fits tighter and more securely than that provided with the purchase. I am very pleased with them.
Rainguards stay on!

These rainguards actually stay on my vortex binoculars. The ones that came with the binoculars constantly would fall off. These stay snug and don't come off until I want them off!

Yup, this one stays on nicely, and I don't even have it threaded to the strap.
Fit Canon 12x36 IS II 5º perfectly

I love my new Canon 12 x 36 Image Stabilization Generation II binoculars, but they came with individual eyepiece covers that don't even fit properly with the eye cups rolled down for use by a glasses-wearer. I ordered this Vortex Binocular Rainguard and was very pleased to discover that it fit the Canon binocs perfectly — even with eyecups rolled down.
The rainguard threads nicely through the binoc's original strap and looks like it came with them. It's so much easier to keep eyepieces smudge- and detritus-free with a proper rainguard, and the Vortex does the trick beautifully.
Doesn't fit Steiners.....

This is a well made rainguard but it will not work on Predator 8x32 with the winged eyecups. It does fit my Swarovski binos.
Best I've used

This is hands-down the best rain guard I've found. It seats firmly over the eyepieces and stays there until you pull it off. The soft rubber conforms to a wide variety of eyepiece shapes and sizes, and best of all it actually does an excellent job of keep rain and other debris off the lens. I like these so much that I replaced ALL 8 of my other rain guards (from various, high-end manufacturers) with the Vortex.
A really good product

After losing a couple of standard rainguards, I tried this one, and it is definitely the answer. The tapered shape means that it fits snugly enough that there is basically no chance of it coming off accidentally. BTW, removing the lugs (for straps) makes it more compact.
