I bought the LensCoat covers for my 70-200mm, 300mm 2.8, and 600mm f4 prior to leaving for an African safari. The covers did a great job of protecting the lenses as they were banged around in the field. My brother's brand new 400mm 2.8 has some scratches and dings where mine do not.

I would highly recommend the lens coat products for anyone who is going to shoot in conditions where their gear might take a beating. My only caution is to be VERY careful when installing the cover on the lens hood. The hole is tiny to fit over the locking knob and mine tore. It still works, but a new design with a notch and velcro latch would be a great improvement.
