Just wanted to share how great Bob @TeleGizmos is to work with! I wanted one of his covers for my binoculars that are mounted. So I sent Bob this photo with my high-tech drawing!

A couple of E-mails, back & forth; received the cover in way under a week, from Bob's having to make it special, to my receiving it!

Bob is so gracious in working with his customers to make a custom cover, at a very low, low cost!
Just wanted to shout "Thanks Bob"!!! 
Here's Bob's website:
TeleGizmos
(I'm in no way connected with this business, other than having bought 3 covers, to date; from Bob!)

I use 2 of the original solar covers for my 10" & 18" Dobs, they are handy, lightweight, impermiable summer & winter, and the elastic draw string at the bottom keeps out dust! I find them especially usefull when leaving the scopes out at starparty's & the backyard. During summer when the sun is still shining late into the evening, they keep the last solar rays from heating up your scopes if you set up early! I don't permanently leave my scopes outside, soo I have never tried the 365 models.

Shawn, I also use the regular TeleGizmos cover on my dob in the observatory; for extra protection.
What is great about Bob; is that he will work with you to design something, if he doesn't carry it in stock; like my binocular cover.

I'm very happy w/ my non-365 cover.
The quality is better than expected... how often does that happen?

Bob is terrific! I have a lot of TeleGizmos products. I think many people might not realize that he and his wife make these products from skratch and they can customize just about anything you need.
