TeleGizmos Warranty

TeleGizmos 365-series covers are warranted for one year from date of delivery including all labor and material. If your cover fails due to either a manufacturing or material defect, TeleGizmos will repair or replace the cover during this warranty period. Proof of purchase required. This warranty is fully transferable but does not include normal wear and tear.

TeleGizmos 365-series are the BEST telescope covers money can buy! 

Suitable for 127mm / 5" Refractors on Equatorial Mounts. 114cm / 45" major top line, 106cm / 42" major height.

The TeleGizmos 365 series are designed for severe weather protection.

Features an inner layer of aluminised material for radiant heat protection coupled to an outer cover of highly water, UV and mildew-resistant acrylic coated woven polyester. This combination of materials provides years of protection, even when used outside 24/7, 365-days a year. 

The outer material also offers high strength and abrasion resistance with less than 1% shrinkage or stretch. 

Tested in some of the harshest US environments, including the desert southwest, Florida Keys, Colorado @ 8000 feet and the Texas Hill country, the 365 Series has proven itself capable of handling all types of weather.

NOTE: The cover does an excellent job of keeping out the weather but cannot eliminate condensation (the buildup of condensation is sometimes mistaken for a leak). This is true for all telescope covers. So the telescope must be allowed to dry after each use, before applying the cover. If the telescope is used only rarely and/or your area is prone to dew (i.e. in a valley or near a body of water), we recommend you occasionally remove the cover to let the telescope dry.

Sturdy and resistant

Ive only had this for a couple weeks but I have absolute faith that this cover will be able to protect my mount and tripod through the norwegian winter.

Telegizmos 365 Scope Cover

Does all you can ask. Sturdy and well made with a good thermal lining, it protects your scope against the elements with a secure drawstring to prevent it disappearing in to your neighbours garden. Obviously it can’t do much against air moisture but against rain, wind and a reasonable temperature range you know it will be secure. Very happy with my purchase along with the excellent service from FLO as always.

incredibly sturdy
03 March 2022  | 

When the package arrived I was surprised how heavy and big the cover is. I have not actually used it in practice yet, but the build and quality looks amazing. I was using a weatherproof outdoor bicycle cover of a similar price range this winter but recently noticed some spots where it was about to wear through so I got this one now that they were back in stock. For a similar price range and size this is twice as heavy and thick. I'm sure this was a great purchase and will keep my scope happy and safe for a long time to come.

Robust and Reliable Scope Cover

Strong, weatherproof and beautifully made, not cheap but then neither is your Astro rig… can’t recommend enough if you plan to leave your gear set up outside… excellent

Good tough waterproof cover
28 September 2021  | 

Like other Telegizmo covers I have had in the past, this is made of really tough waterproof material. and does a good job of keeping my gear dry. I deliberately got an oversize one as the inner lining is less tough & doesn't like to be stretched over any edges or corners.

TeleGizmos 365 Scope Cover for 5" EQ Mounted Refractors
08 July 2020  | 

Excellent for both day and night cover. The entire rig is now outside 24/7 at least for the rest of summer/autumn.
A very good quality product.
The advise from FLO regarding best size cover for my rig was excatly correct.
