Description
Anyone running an EOTech 511, 512, 551, or 552 knows how quickly the exposed glass picks up dust, fingerprints, and whatever the weather throws at it. The GG&G Model 1275 lens covers tackle that head-on by mounting between the EOTech hood and the body of the housing, so they clamp on tight and stay put through hard use. They're spring loaded, which means a quick press on the tab pops them open and out of the way when you need a sight picture in a hurry.
How the 1275 EOTech Covers Handle in the Field
The front and rear covers are designed to work with the way you actually run an optic, not against it. The rear cover flips open and lays flat across the top of the protective hood so it never crowds your field of view. The front cover opens and holds at horizontal to act as a sun shade, cutting glare off the glass. If you push through heavy brush and catch that front cover, it folds back instead of snapping, so it takes the abuse and keeps going. Activation tabs sit on both the front and rear covers, so lefties and righties get the same easy, intuitive flip.
Installing the GG&G EOTech Lens Covers
This set installs without any permanent changes to your sight, and the tool you need comes right in the package. The hood does need to come off during setup, and the included instructions walk you through it. A quick word of advice from folks who've done it: take your time with the small screws and don't over-torque them. Once it's on, the underbody mounting keeps everything anchored so nothing rattles loose during recoil or rough handling.
Like the rest of the GG&G lineup, these are finished to Mil-Spec, de-horned so there are no sharp edges snagging your gear, and made in the USA. They carry a lifetime warranty, and while the contours of the EOTech housing mean they aren't fully waterproof, they do a solid job keeping rain, snow, dust, and debris off your lenses day to day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which EOTech sights do the GG&G 1275 lens covers fit?
These covers are made specifically for the EOTech 511, 512, 551, and 552 models. They mount between the hood and the body of the housing, so they're purpose-built for those specific sight profiles. They won't fit the XPS or EXPS series, which use a different GG&G cover.
Are the GG&G EOTech lens covers waterproof?
They aren't fully waterproof, and that comes down to the contours of the EOTech housing itself. What they will do is keep the majority of dust, debris, rain, and snow off your lenses during normal use. Think of them as strong day-to-day protection for the glass rather than a fully sealed system.
Is installation difficult, and do I need extra tools?
Installation is straightforward and the tool you need is included in the box along with instructions. You'll need to remove the EOTech hood to get them on, and no permanent changes are made to your optic. Just go easy on the small screws and avoid over-tightening them during setup.
Can the front cover be used as a sun shade?
Yes, the front cover opens and holds at horizontal to work as a sun shade, which helps cut glare off the glass. If you're moving through heavy brush and it catches on something, the front cover folds back rather than breaking. That flexibility is a big part of why they hold up well in the field.
