Those do work but the bungee material will wear out in time making a loose fit in a couple years . Went to pop up and see through now .

I've used flip-ups since I was a kid. Thing I don't understand about these is what if it's raining or snowing? Flip-ups protect against that, don't see how these can?

Very simple, they protect your scope lenses, rain or snow does not get to your scope lens, the yellow is like wearing shooting glasses.

Well, I understand that but then the rain/snow is simply on the shoot thru covers which seems like it would be zero benefit over having the rain/snow on the actual lens. With flipups, it get's out of the way and you're looking through a clear, unobstructed lens

My flip ups are see through and in those conditions open is the way to go for the clear shot , but got a couple when it happened fast in the thick stuff .

I personally like the military style honeycomb scope sun shades.

I have see through scope covers and IMO they are pretty darn good.

I have had flip ups that froze down and needed an extra tap to open and in that time lost sight of the deer, but at the same time I have had freezing rain blur the vision so badly on see through covers that I could not see as well. Any other weather condition and see throughs work for me. See through pop ups? Hmmmm I like that the best!

I have the black plastic flip ups. I don't even put the eyepiece one on. The objective cover stays open unless it's raining, snowing, etc.

I'm still not grasping how the shoot through covers help in bad weather...

I've had see throughs that actuly fogged up on me and had to pull them off to shoot .One set I never found as who knows where they went .The flipups are the way to go .

holly, the stuff people put on mirrors to keep them from fogging in the shower works well with see throughs

Had a set of the ones here and as noted the cords stretched over time and they would not stay in place so I trashed them and I don't use anything now. I know a lot of scopes come with directions to NOT put anything on the lens but I use Rain-X on mine and it works great. I usually have to refresh it about every 2 years but otherwise it works great and it also works on glasses. I have several friends that have the usual problems with their glasses fogging up and the Rain-X stops that as well. Give it a try but make sure when applying it to not use to much and after applying be sure and buff the lenses with a good lens cloth.

Never thought of using that on my glasses, thanks!
