Seems very waterproof - used to use an inner lining just in case, but don't both now - even in extended downpours inside has remained nice and dry and the lining seems to stop too much dew/moisture on mount after all-nighters in winter.
I put the "handlebar" part over the top of the scope, and the skirt then comes nicely down over counterweights, well past mount, and down over part of pier or tripod. Secure with couple of occy straps. Had expected it would be very cheap and disintegrate after a dozen uses, but think it will be going strong for long time. I rarely leave my gear out more than 3-4 nights at a time however.
Bought one instead of a Telegizmo and best $40 I've invested in astro for quite a while. Must get another actually

Sounds awesome, now to see if I can train my dog not to eat it...
