Fitted covers on spotter?

[Takashi]

Hey guys,
Just got a Viper HD spotter, which is great. It comes with a fitted coat. Do you guys generally run them? My old konuspot has fallen over in the wind and bent. Part of this I think is due to it being crappy, but either way.

I was wondering who runs them, and is it worth it? I'm afraid it'll get gross when it gets wet and doesn't offer a whole lot of protection.

Re: Fitted covers on spotter?

I have the Vortex Razor spotter and generally run it with the cover that came with it. Working on getting a custom fitted cover made for it, but in the mean time the Vortex cover works.

If you are worried about moisture, get a can of camp dry and spray it down, and let dry. It will make the cover moisture resistant.

I figure for the cost of the spotter, may as well use the cover and help protect it, should something stupid happen..... can't hurt by keeping it on.
