The ocular and objective covers on the 8x30 SLC are as good as it gets... if your wife won't use those, there's nothing less complicated or more streamlined available she would use.

Agree with all. The flip ups I found spooked game. They would flash if the sun caught them. These were butler creek yellow ones so a solid one might not do that. The classiest I have seen are fitted leather. Ones I saw were from S. Africa but surely someone here makes them or it is a good DIY project. I might do ones in Kudu hide to be different.
One of the best I have used is to cut about a six inch wide piece of inner tube, match the tube to the size of your binos. These are great for rainy weather and quick and silent to remove. Good even inside of a pack or case. Too bad it is getting so hard to find old inner tubes. But it would be worth it to buy a new one and make scope and bino covers for your buddy's.

Does anybody have any experience with the Rick Young Outdoors binocular cover? It looks like it has a smaller profile and hugs the body more so than other binocular packs. d30, I have a RYO cover in the ultralight version. I am not a fan of wearing a backpack on my front and the cover works in all the carry configurations the harness does. Downside is it's not as easy to remove bino as some of the chestpack options.

I used the AGC bino case this year and really like the system. The additional pockets are nice for license etc.

The Marsupial Gear bino harness is very good. Very easy one handed in and out of it.
