Recently picked up a Swarovski ATX 65 and I’ve read mixed reviews on the factory cover. Found a few old threads on here that praise the Kite scope cover that used to be available through Eagle Optics. Eagle Optics went out of business over a year ago and I can’t find any other US retailers. Anybody know where I get one?

You might contact a couple of their Canada dealers and see if they will ship to the US.

Bought mine from one stop nature in the UK as well. Have been happy with the case. I removed the foam from the front cover and used tape backed Velcro to attach the hard lense cover to the front to protect the objective.
Read somewhere the foam could rub against the lens and cause issues in time.

I recently just bought a kite cover for my ats 80 from onestopnatureshop. My experience with them wasnt great, I ordered on March 17th ish and just received it yesterday. Originally they sent it to the wrong address and it turned into a big mess.

I think the case is constructed we'll and I like the thickness of the neoprene, but like mentioned above I'm not a fan of the foam discs that sit inside the objective and eye piece. My first thought was that it might rub on the glass. I would hope kite wouldnt manufacture it this way if it is going to cause issues. I also wish the eyepiece cover had more slack in the webbing to allow it to be removed and installed easier. This is for the ats not atx, but those are my thoughts on kite/onestop.
