I bet those work better than the ones I made. I used an old nylon camo poncho and it ended up absorbing water.

I use Butler Creek covers. The "flip up" kind.

I use Butler Creek covers too but when it's pouring rain they don't do much good as a shield, you need something that extends over the lenses like a hood. The flip up covers work well while you're carrying through wet bushes and trees but if you're hunting in the pouring rain, you flip up the cover and the lenses are exposed. You need a hood like a ball cap for your eye glasses. That's the way I made mine anyway.

Bikini covers are two caps joined by thin elastic straps.
What Elvis has made might better be described as Burkha scope covers.

I had flipups but broke them off in brush while trying to get a better firing position. I use bikini's now... got mine on closeout for a couple bucks.
