Where to find well made eye cup/shade

It seems that many of the FT guys have eye cups/shades, but I don’t seem them much in the other styles, so I’m hoping you folks can help me.

I’m trying to find a decent eye cup, but all I’m finding are the cheap pieces of flimsy rubber from China. I still tried one out for $4, but it is useless. Can’t really adjust it for eye relief and it just flops. I have seen some on some FT gear that seem more well made and sturdy, but I can’t seem to find where there are being sold. I can’t search with finer search terms, because I don’t know any models or brand names. Just seeing the same cheap stuff that all looks the same.

Shooting at the house, in the morning, I need shade to keep the glare down. I don’t use an umbrella (but may need to change that) and the only flop hat that I have big enough to actually shade the scope is my wife’s flowery hat. But it works, for now. 
 
IF your scope has a short eye relief...MTC VIPER Connect scope includes a nice one. Contact an MTC dealer such as AoA or Trenier to inquire about just that eeyepiece..you can run a thin walled PVC pipe to extend for longer eye relief scopes too just match press fit to your ocular and trim.


Thanks for that too. I was trying to find scopes that might come with them. I saw the Sightron, but it looks like the $4 I bought. The MTC one looks like it might be a little better.
