It indicates the cap fits multiple eyepiece sizes (roughly sizes #16 to #18), thanks to its flexible stretch design.

✔ Yes, if you want versatility and easier fitting
❗ Standard caps may offer a slightly more precise, rigid fit

❌ No.
It is a solid protective cap and must be flipped open before shooting.

It provides excellent resistance to rain and dust, but is not fully waterproof for submersion.
