Okanagan:
I like the way the binos drop down when I unhook the flap - no cover to futz with, and no noise.
Yes, I really like that feature.
FWIW the gap showing in the photo is way bigger than normal when standing so I suspect the bino cover is being distorted by the body position. Normally the top flap fits close over the eyepiece.
Re the missing improvised rain cover, one corner began to stick out enough to slightly catch the attachment line on that side when I released the binos to use. It was not raining that day so I removed the wider cover planning to improvise a better one.
The joy of duct tape!
