lens coat alternatives

[33L]

As the title suggests are there any other varieties available, not so much looking for any pattern in perticular however Sigma paint finishes are not the best in the world and just want to protect a lens.
The lens Coat versions are quite pricey and looking at cost saving.

Wildlife watching supplies do a lens caot copy at about 1/2 to 2/3 the price or you could use a Buff like I do, I have at least 5 different camo types they have no padding but do protect the lens from light knocks, however I baby my kit so it's all as good as new

Buffs can be found in Blacks or almost any good outdoor retailer

Thats fine, I always look after my kit so have not found the need, and I get about a lot with my kit, it travels to and from work with me everyday in some guise or another, and it's always used every wekend in and around Gloucester
Bath, Oxford, etc pretty much anywhere I can get some good wildlife imagery
