Lens caps Zeiss Terra ED 8x25 (1 Viewer)

I got these binocs yesterday. I really like the view quality and compactness. Small enough to fit in large pockets. But I have lots of dust in those pockets. Lens covers or caps would be an answer but I cannot find anyone who sells any for this binoc. Any idea?
 
The small one-piece ocular cover made by Opticron fits the Swarovski 8x25 quite well, so they might fit the oculars of yours too. I cannot think of anything that might fit the objectives.

At any rate, I doubt that lens covers would stay on for any length of time, so you might also look at the small and thin nylon camera cases used for pocket cameras. LowePro makes some that would most likely work well, and that can be easily found at your local Walmart or Best Buy.
 
SOLVED: Lens Caps for Zeiss Terra ED 8X25

As I wanted to be sure that I could still fold/close my Zeiss Terra ED 8X25 binoculars to the smallest size - and connected lens covers might now allow them to fully close, I found 4 individual slip-on lens caps from KaiserFototechnik https://kaiserfotous.com/ (you can also find them on Amazon). Here are the sizes:

32mm: for the eyepieces/occular lens (i.e. the end you look into)
36mm: for the objective lens

The two 32mm fit snugly onto the eyepieces (33mm might work, but the 32mm will not fall off)

The two 36mm fit like a glove onto the objective lens

I think this is the best solution.
