But if you search, you might find some plastic drink bottles or similar which are the right diameter, Cut them into a form of "pipe" and fit them over. You can spray them black if you get enthusiastic.
It will help if you try to not leave them pointed towards the dark sky when not in use. Tip them down facing the horizon or lower, and cover the eyepieces if you have to step away for a while. Be careful wiping off the condensation - some coatings can be damaged. If you have a warm (not hot) hairdryer to hand, you can drive away the moisture for periods of time.
