Protecting your scope’s lenses is important for storage and transport but out in the field, a good pair of flip-up lens covers can prove to be invaluable for keeping your glass clear of debris, fog, and moisture so you can use your optic when you’re ready to shoot. ZEISS has just announced their new Flip-Up and Fold Flat Pro Lens covers for their expansive line of riflescopes. The new Lens covers feature common features you’d find on any other good set of lens covers but also incorporate new storage spaces for spare batteries, as well as an integrated Torx bit storage place for adjustments and replacements in the field.

Introducing New Flip-Up & Fold Flat Pro Lens Covers from ZEISS
Our all-new flip-up lens covers are manufactured with a robust stay-secure dual-clamping system and provides OEM fitment for current ZEISS riflescopes; they also offer a few extra unique features as well,” said Kyle Brown – Director of Marketing/Product for Carl ZEISS SBE, LLC. “These lens covers remain open and secured in place when in the folded-flat, shooter-ready position – even under heavy recoil. They offer great protection from the environmental elements and will help keep those valuable lenses from getting scratched. The benefit is simple: clean and scratch-free optics at-the-ready. And clean optics will help you deliver precise and accurate hits on target.”
Developed and designed with purpose and functionality.
ZEISS will offer a total of nine unique sizes, each providing an excellent OEM fit for each ZEISS riflescope. All are manufactured in the USA with Nylon 11 material to resist harsh UV light and maintain proper fitment – even with extreme shifts in temperature – and reduce weight. Each lens cover utilizes dual clamps with stainless steel hardware and springs to ensure long-term fit and serviceability. Both ocular and objective lens covers provide a fold-flat securing system which allows for the flip-up cap to be held in the shooter-ready position parallel with the scope’s main tube, and then remain there, secure during recoil.
The new ZEISS Flip-Up and Fold-Flat Pro Lens Covers will be sold at retail for $34.99 for the ocular lens covers and $49.99 for the (typically) larger objective lens covers. The Lens covers are set to be available from authorized ZEISS retailers in North America starting in late April 2023 for ZEISS riflescope models including the Conquest V4, V6, V8, LRP S3, and LRP S5.
