  • What is the difference between LegCoat Covers and LegCoat Wraps?
    Both products protect your tripod legs and your shoulders when carrying your gear. You also both act as a thermal barrier keeping your hands comfortable in hot or cold conditions. The main differences are bulk and how they go on. The LegCoat Covers have a closed cell foam core about 1/2" thick with a slit down the side and a 2mm neoprene shell that wraps around the foam and has a Velcro closure. The foam also comes with an optional adhesive strip to help prevent movement. The LegCoat Wrap is less bulky and is made from approximately 5mm of soft spongy neoprene that wraps around the tripod leg and is affixed with a Velcro closure. The Wraps backing is designed to tightly grip to your tripod legs so they will not slide. Due to the construction and shape, the Wraps are less expensive to ship compared to the LegCoat Covers; especially internationally.
