I made something like these - they are relatively heavy, but work fine - though I haven't been through a heavy dew night yet.

I have dew guards for all my binoculars. I just went shopping in the supermarket with a set of vernier calipers and bought bottles etc. that were the right diameter. Must have looked funny on the security video!
