Protective cases leading manufacturer Pelican recently released some new Rugged Lens Covers. Part of their Outdoor Collection, these high-density silicon accessories will protect your glass on your next outdoor activity. Compatible with lenses ranging from 67 to 102mm, they are now available for $24.99.
Developed jointly by Case Mate and Pelican Cases Inc., the Pelican Outdoor Collection is a range of products specifically designed for outdoor lovers. The new Pelican Outdoor Rugged Lens Covers are part of this collection. They look very much like the KURVD covers we covered some years ago, which was very successful on Kickstarter.
If you want to enjoy a carefree adventure outdoors without worrying too much about the lenses you’re carrying in your backpack, then these silicon lens covers might be the ideal solution for you. Let’s take a closer look.
Silicon lens covers provide several advantages over old-fashioned plastic caps. They usually offer great protection against particles and water, as well as extra safety for small collisions, especially when carrying lenses in a backpack.
Since they wrap around the lens, you can’t accidentally lose them. In fact, the only way they can come off is by pulling them off. And once you do, you can easily fold them and put them in your pocket.
Moreover, they are not designed for a specific lens diameter. The same cover can be stretched and used on a wider variety of glass.
The new Pelican Outdoor Rugged Lens Covers tick all of these boxes. They are built using high-density, elastic Premium 25A Grade Silicon, which should provide complete protection from dirt, moisture, scratches, and collisions.
Moreover, they feature a column-structure design. Besides creating a minimal look, this construction should provide extra absorption for accidental impacts. These lens covers are currently available in two colors: Stealth Black or Coyote.
The Pelican Outdoor Rugged Lens Covers are available now. Coming with a 3-Year limited warranty, you can purchase them for $24,99 on the Pelican Outdoor website.
Are you an outdoor lover looking for some extra protection for your optics? Purchase these lens covers now.
