I have never heard of camo tights but I see what you mean the overs do not cover the whole lens. I have had a look and have yet to find a lens cover that I think will do the job.
I will be interested to hear how you get on

I'm afraid I gave up with it as I no longer use the 100-400, having got a 300 2.8 which I find much better.

I bought a 12 foot by 12 foot piece of camo netting and cut it into several smaller pieces for wrapping around the lens, draping over the camera and tripod head, and attaching to my hat to partially conceal my face.

I think that it works as well as anything because it also breaks up the shape of things. However, I frequently spook the birds by not remaining still enough or get impatient. I think that the comments above about behavior that startles animals is very accurate.

BTW, you'll never catch me flitting around in camo tights. :p

When I first put it on over my big white lens hood, I thought I could tell a difference in the reduced number birds I flushed, particularly when photographing from my car. YMMV

Interesting. Did you cammo your car too?;)
