Flip cap for 28-31mm objective lenses

The Vortex Optics Defender Flip Cap fits objective lenses measuring 28 to 31 millimetres. It protects the front glass of a riflescope from dust, moisture and impact while the optic is carried or stored. The spring-loaded cover flips open with one finger for rapid target acquisition. Shooters who need a secure, low-profile shield for compatible scopes will find it suited to field use.

O-24 model with tethered hinge

The cap attaches via a flexible tether that stays connected to the scope body so the cover cannot be lost in rough terrain. Its matte black finish reduces glare and matches standard optic housings. The design adds minimal bulk and does not interfere with lens coatings or turret adjustments. Users requiring a different diameter range or a screw-on style will need an alternative solution.

Highlights

  • Protects front lens from dust and impact

Questions about this item

Will the hinge on the Vortex Defender Flip Cap O-24 wear out and need replacement?

The flip-cap hinge is a moulded polymer pivot; with normal field use it lasts the life of the optic and is not a user-serviceable part.

What stops the cap from sealing properly during prolonged rain or dust exposure?

The friction-fit design grips 28-31 mm objective bells; heavy recoil or extreme temperature cycling can loosen the grip before the seal itself fails.
