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!
Three panel tripod cover that opens fully along one side.
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.

TeleGizmos 365 Tripod Cover 28 April 2022 | Robert
This cover all year cover compliments my main cover. Ideal for any telescope, but particulaly important for semi permanent set ups such as my Skywatcher 6eq R Pro with 9.25inch OTA and astrophototography equipment which I leave in garden for perhaps a week at a time. Well worth the price for peace of mind. I would definitely buy these again.
Purchased for a Celestron Advanced VX Mount 15 July 2020 | Stuart
the product has just arrived and the fit on the tripod fully extended is pretty tight I have a USB Hub attached to one of the legs, but i am going to have to rethink on the placement. on that same leg i have the hand controller. as said it is a tight fit and the best i achieved is the whole tripod covered with the exception of the bottom inch or two as the cover wont stretch that wide. and the top opening is riding up an inch or two. The material it is made from is very very nice and i can see this providing excellent protection provided i keep humidity under the cover in check. I will over the next week and check the fit better once i have rewired my tripod and will be upgrading to 5 stars as long as the riding up of the cover does not hinder the mounts movement.
