Frequently Asked Questions About skin4gear Products

What are the dimensions of the protective covers for lenses?

Each camouflage lens protection is designed for a specific lens size. Some types of Sigma, Tamron lenses differ in the construction of the rear optical element, making the lens longer. In this case, compatibility with the corresponding mount is explicitly stated.
Compatibility is not guaranteed for generational versions of lenses marked II, III, etc. Always search for the exact lens designation. If you are unsure, please contact us.

Which lenses are compatible with your protective covers?

Lenses listed in the category of a specific manufacturer typically have compatibility with one particular type. If you haven’t found a protective camouflage cover for your lens, please contact us.

We are constantly expanding our offer, and the lens protections with the highest demand are added first.

Are your protective covers water and dust resistant?

Yes, in principle, our covers made of chloroprene (trade name Neoprene) are waterproof and dustproof. However, the design of the protection in the form of rings, allowing for smooth lens control, does not make the assembly completely waterproof and dustproof. The fully enclosed TravelSkin and TravelBumper cases, however, offer excellent protection against dust and splashing water.

How resistant are the protective covers to impacts and falls?

Protective covers provide a certain degree of protection for the lens against wear from regular use and save the lens from minor impacts and contamination. However, they will not protect against damage from falls, and the lens should be handled with care.

Can I use your covers with other accessories?

Yes, the protective camouflage covers are fully compatible with all photographic accessories.

What is the weight of the protective covers?

The weight of the protective covers for telephoto lenses ranges from 100 to 300 grams, depending on the type and size of the lens. Protective covers for teleconverters weigh up to 20 grams, and smaller lens dimensions weigh less than the mentioned 100 grams. The approximate weight is provided in the description of each lens.

How long does it take to install the cover on a lens?

Installing a protective cover on a lens, including the lens hood, usually takes 2 to 3 minutes.

What materials are your covers made of?

Protective camouflage covers are made of neoprene with an acrylic or nylon coating.

What is the cleaning process for protective covers?

Since protective covers protect the lens from contamination, their dirtiness is expected. Covers can be hand-washed at temperatures up to 30°C (86°F) and air-dried. It is not recommended to dry them in a dryer or iron them.

How long do protective covers last?

The lifespan of the covers depends directly on the intensity of their use, but even with intensive use, they will serve you for many years.

Are protective covers suitable for use during transport?

Yes, the use of protective camouflage covers is suitable during transport. For even better protection, we recommend using TravelSkin cases and reinforced TravelBumper cases.

Are your covers suitable for professional photography?

Yes, camouflage covers are suitable for both professional and amateur hobby use.

Can a protective cover be used on a lens with a lens hood?

Yes, the set of camouflage protections always includes a cover for the lens hood. The cover is fully compatible with reverse mounting of lens hoods for lens transport.

Are your protective covers easy to remove?

Yes, protective camouflage covers can be easily removed from the lens. The covers do not leave any visible traces on the lens surface; on the contrary, using them better protects the lens surfaces, significantly preserving their residual financial value in case of a potential sale.

What are the different colors of protective covers?

Yes, we offer camouflage in several patterns, so the pattern best matches the environment in which you will use it. Patterns are subject to constant development and improvement.

Do you provide a warranty on your protective covers?

Yes, we provide a 2-year warranty on the covers.
