Keeps optics dry and cool - with silver-plated Oxford coating
The silver-plated layer on the Oxford fabric reflects sunlight and creates a water-repellent surface that sheds moisture. The reflective surface reduces heat buildup during daytime exposure.
Optical components stay dry and avoid heat-related stress during sunlit storage or unexpected showers.
Quick storage and transport - with a fully foldable design
The cover contains no rigid frames and collapses flat, allowing it to be folded into a compact bundle for storage. Lightweight fabric minimises bulk when packed away.
Saves space in cupboards or car boots and makes packing faster between observing sessions.
Easy handling and minimal added weight - with low-mass Oxford fabric
Weights vary by size, approximately 400g-600g, keeping total mass low while maintaining fabric durability. The soft material is simple to drape over mounts without snagging.
Easy to place on and remove from mounts without extra hands, reducing setup time.
