They're the same awkward flowerpots of old. Got rid of them and bought these, they're excellent:

Thanks. I had a Trinovid rainguard which worked perfectly on my Ultravid, but I don't know where I put it! My binoculars were off for repair you see.

Note that the 'eBay rainguard' has a slightly tight fit like the original Ultravid's, that is you can press them lightly onto the eyecups and they will stay put. Difference is they don't wiggle on top of the eyecups like the originals.
However, if you prefer a rainguard with a looser fit (over the eyecups instead of sitting on them) my advice is to go for the Leica rainguard as supplied with the Duovid, see pics.

That's nice. Do you know where I can buy this? Would it fit Ultravid 8x32?

Good news: I found my Trinovid rainguard. It fits the Ultravid 8x32 BR well.
I actually have two original rainguards for the Ultravids. I notice that the new one is a lot stickier and has a fresher, rubbery smell, and an oily look and feel to it. When it ages, it becomes more plastic like, but still too grippy to be practical.
