Protection for your scope eyepiece

The Vortex Defender E-10 flip cap shields the ocular (eyepiece) lens of your riflescope from dust, rain, mud and knocks. A quick flick opens it, and a snap-flat spring holds the cover clear of your sight picture so you can get on target fast.

Three stop positions

The cap locks at three positions: vertical, 45 degrees and 90 degrees flat back. That lets you tuck the cover out of the way, or position an optional dope disk right where you need it.

Built to last

Moulded from tough rubber with a matte black finish, the Defender is virtually indestructible and stays quiet in the field. It fits eyepieces with an outside diameter of 41.5 to 46mm, covering most Vortex riflescopes, though a few 1-inch Viper models are excluded, so check the fit guide.

Who it suits

Ideal for airgun, rimfire and airsoft marksmen who want to keep their glass clean between shots. Browse more outdoor shooting gear to complete your setup.

Frequently asked questions

Which lens does the E-10 cover?

The E-10 is the eyepiece (ocular) cap, fitting the rear lens of the scope you look through. Vortex also makes objective caps (O-24 to O-56) for the front lens.

Will it fit my scope?

It fits eyepieces with an outside diameter of 41.5 to 46mm, covering most Vortex riflescopes. A few 1-inch Viper models are excluded, so check the Vortex Defender fit guide against your model.

How does it stay open?

A snap-flat spring holds the cap open at vertical, 45 degrees or 90 degrees flat, keeping it clear of your sight picture until you flip it shut.

Is it only for Vortex scopes?

It is designed for Vortex optics, but any eyepiece within the 41.5 to 46mm diameter range may fit. Measure your scope first to be sure.

What is it made from?

It is moulded from tough rubber with a matte black finish, making it hard-wearing, quiet in the field and resistant to knocks.
