Neoprene Cover Reommendation (1 Viewer)

I recently picked up a Swaro ATM 65. Looking for a neoprene cover or some stay on cover. Have a recommendation for one.
 
I have a padded Cordura case from marsupialgear.com
the company makes various products, and multiple sizes in spotting scope cases. with a sling, its over the shoulder carry. the zipper on the bottom length wise permits placing the case over the scope as the scope mounted to tripod. Can not be considered stay-on in any way, but is protective in all weather environment.
 
Greetings. I am inclined to suggest bitting the bullet and going for the Swarovski case, particularly, if you envisage keeping your scope for a long time. As for Hermann’s comment (reply #4 above) he has a point but it all depends upon your style. In my case, I carry the scope and the tripod—usually on my shoulder—in relatively long hikes; say in trips of 5 miles or so. In many cases I trip off and find myself flat on the ground with all my equipment, hence, the need for extra protection. Enjoy in good health.
 
I use a Skua case for my ATS 65, and it says 'ATS/ATM' on it.
I'm UK based and not sure how widely available it is beyond the UK... but it's about 1/3rd the price of a Swaro one and is a very good fit.
