Very nice product with outstanding service. The ripped loop was NOT a defect in the ScopeShield but my super sized poutine chomping brother-in-law hauling himself up to his feet by grabbing the nearest available thing. IdahoElkHunter knew it was user induced, and knew I was using the factory Zeiss bikini cover as an interim. Regardless, he wished me a good hunting season, insisted it was on the house, and shipped a new replacement out right quick. Pulling the release loop back just a tad shucks the cover off quietly without any fuss. Unlike the originals, the current BC caps are garbage; the ScopeShield works well for me, I like supporting a fellow hunter who's passionate about a good product, and backs it up.

As to tough, there is nothing you could do in normal usage which will destroy it. We did just replace one for a hunter in Quebec whose partner placed the loop around a thick tree staub and attempted to do a chin-up by pulling down on the ScopeShield. He ripped the loop out of the cover, to no one's surprise. So they, like me, are not invulnerable to exceptional abuse.
