"LensCoat" for big teles

[birdstrike]

Just came across this product while browsing B&H:

http://www.lenscoat.com/

It is a set of neoprene covers for large telephoto lenses.

At first glance, it looks like a good idea. Keeps the hands off the cold metal and provides some extra protection for the expensive glass.

Anyone have one of these and care to comment?

Thanks!

looks like a neat idea!

but very overpriced! Actually you could make these things yourself by using scissors on some camouflage leggings

Most birders and nature photogs just get camoflauge tape. It helps to hide them from the animals.

Thanks for the feedback! I like the tape site as well. I can use some reflective tape for another purpose.

Cheers,
