Wrappings for the Gitzo GT1542T?

Does anyone here know of any decent wrappings or padding for the top section of the tripod? I want something that will make it much more comfortable to use this tripod in the cold especially when I'm not wearing any gloves.

Thanks!

Cheap tip, go to a Bicycle shop & buy the neoprene type handbar covers, they slip in 1/3 the price of Tripod covers,,...cost $10/$15

Or you could do what I done got some textured 1" shrink wrap & heatshrunk them onto the legs with a heat gun, not soft like handlebar covers but it works,....cost $6.00 I got mine from an Electrical parts supplier down here in Australia,....maybe try something sorta like Radio Shack???

Ma=ine has a cross hatch texture on it. comes on 10" lenghts, just remove the leg clamp,.. slide on heatshrink ,..hit it with heat gun,..

Are they washable?

That's an awesome idea! I should go and check it out!

I've use pipe insulation in the past

you just have to look for the diameter and thickness you need, it's best to get a slightly smaller diameter and stretch it a bit over the tube

For the last few months I've been using that same pipe insulation wrapped using sports tape and so far it's been great on my shoulders.
