Aluminum Eyepiece Protection That Holds Up in Any Weather
The Swarovski SLPL Ocular Lens protector shields your eyepiece from rain, snow, and grit on the worst days afield. The precision-built aluminum cover rotates a full 360° and opens in any direction so it never gets in your way when you need to get behind the glass fast. A magnetic catch keeps it sealed tight during a pack-in. Available in three fitments to match your Swarovski dS, Z5(i), Z6(i), X5, or Z8i+ — field-tested coverage that earns its spot on your rig.

Weather Protection That Keeps Your Glass Field-Ready
The enemy on a backcountry elk hunt isn't a bad shot — it's a fogged or scratched eyepiece that costs you the last twelve minutes of shooting light. The Swarovski SLPL aluminum cover eliminates that risk. This isn't a flimsy plastic flip cap that pops off on a horse pack-in. At Hunt Premium, we don't list accessories we wouldn't bet a $3,000 tag on, and this precision-built protector earns its spot on every Z6i, Z8i, and X5 scope we ship into the mountains. The magnetic catch holds firm through temperature swings, and the 360° rotation means you open it the way that works for your shooting position — not the other way around.
Magnetic Catch Stays Shut Through Hard Use
Plastic flip caps are the accessory that fails quietly. They loosen over a season of hard use, flap open in the wind on a ridge-line stalk, and eventually disappear somewhere between base camp and the timber. The SLPL uses a magnetic catch that holds the aluminum cover closed through horseback rides, temperature cycling from 20°F mornings to 70°F afternoons, and the kind of jarring impact that rattles everything else in your pack. When you need your glass clear and ready at first light, this cover stays where you put it — closed until you need it, open until you don't.
Choose the Right Fit for Your Swarovski Scope
Three sizes cover the full Swarovski hunting line. The SLPL-E-43 fits all Z5(i) and Z5(i)+ models — the right choice for hunters running a lighter, compact setup in thick timber. The SLPL-E-46 covers dS, Z8i, Z6(i), and X5 scopes — the workhorse configurations most western big-game hunters run. The SLPL-E-51+ is built specifically for Z8i+ models. If you are unsure which size matches your scope, call us. We pair the right accessory to the right optic — no guessing, no returns because the fit was wrong. That is the difference between buying from a catalog and buying from hunters who use the gear.

“I run a Z6i on my elk rifle and swapped the factory plastic cap for the SLPL halfway through last season after the original popped off during a horse pack. This aluminum cover has been through rain, sub-freezing mornings, and a lot of miles in a scabbard — it stays shut when it should and opens fast when I need glass up. Should have bought it sooner.”

Frequently Asked Questions
The SLPL-E-43 fits all Z5(i) and Z5(i)+ models. The SLPL-E-46 fits dS, Z8i, Z6(i), and X5 scopes. The SLPL-E-51+ fits Z8i+ models only.

We verify fitment by scope model number so you get the right protector the first time — no guesswork, no return shipping.
Hunt Premium is an authorized Swarovski dealer. Every SLPL Ocular Lens protector we sell is genuine Swarovski factory product — not a third-party replica. Buying from an authorized dealer means you receive the real aluminum construction, correct magnetic catch tension, and model-specific tolerances that aftermarket copies cannot match. If it does not carry the Swarovski name through our store, we do not sell it.
Plastic flip caps loosen over time, pop off under impact, and crack in cold temperatures. The SLPL uses machined aluminum with a magnetic catch that holds through horseback transport, temperature cycling, and hard field use. For a scope that costs $1,500 to $3,500, a plastic cover is the weak link that exposes your eyepiece lens to exactly the conditions you bought quality glass to withstand.
Yes. The SLPL mounts directly to the eyepiece of your compatible Swarovski scope — no tools, no gunsmith work, no torque specs to worry about. Select the correct size for your model, thread it on, and you are set. If you are unsure about fitment, call us before ordering and we will confirm the right part for your specific scope serial number.
The SLPL attaches to the ocular — the eyepiece end of the scope — and does not contact the magnification ring or any throw lever mounted on the power ring. The 360° rotation also means you can position the cover to open in the direction that clears your specific throw lever setup. It works with factory and aftermarket throw levers on compatible Swarovski models.
If you order the incorrect SLPL size, return it within 30 days in original packaging and we will ship the right one. To avoid the hassle entirely, call or email us before placing your order. We verify fitment by scope model and can confirm exactly which SLPL variant you need. That is the advantage of buying from a dealer that actually knows the product line.
