The Vortex Defender Flip Cap Objective Lens 24 (28–31 mm) is a high-quality flip-up lens cap that protects the objective lens of your rifle scope from dust, dirt, moisture and damage. Thanks to its robust construction, clever hinge design and three adjustable opening positions, your optics remain optimally protected without compromising the speed at which you can take aim.

This original Vortex Defender Flip Cap is designed for rifle scopes with an objective lens diameter of 28 to 31 mm and is a durable upgrade for any shooter who wants to keep their optics in top condition.

Optimal protection for the lens

The lens is constantly exposed to external elements. The Defender Flip Cap prevents dust, mud, rain or twigs from coming into direct contact with the lens, thereby maintaining its optical performance.

The protective cover helps to prevent damage by:

• Dust and sand
• Rain and damp
• Scratches on the lens
• Dirt during transport

This keeps the lens clean and ensures you get a clear, sharp image as soon as you open the flip cap.

Three adjustable opening positions

The Defender Flip Cap features a clever hinge system with three locking positions. This allows you to choose the opening angle that best suits your shooting stance or setup.

You can choose from:

• Vertical position
• 45° opening
• 90° opening

Thanks to these adjustable positions, the lens cap remains out of sight whilst aiming and does not interfere with the use of the rifle scope.

Robust Defender construction

Like all accessories in the Defender range, this flip cap is designed for long-term, intensive use. Its robust construction can withstand harsh conditions and protects the lens during transport, storage and use in the field.

The integrated flat spring ensures that the lens cap remains firmly open without obstructing the field of view.

Suitable for various Vortex rifle scopes

This version is suitable for lens diameters of 28 to 31 mm and fits various Vortex spotting scopes within this size range.

Always check the outer diameter of the lens before purchasing to ensure a correct fit.

Practical insights
