I don't know what diameter you need, but why not try an automotive supply store and look at sizes of rubber tubing. You might be able to relieve the binoculars of the decayed coating and slip a piece of new rubber in its place.

So pulled a pair of binoculars out of the closet, that hadn't seen the light of day in 7 or 8 years. The rubber coated hand grips have broken down and are extremely sticky and leave a black residue all over your hands. Our first thought was to contact the manufacturer and have them take care of it. They are not to be found and googling the brand name and so on, nothing to be found. So stuck with a pair of sticky binoculars and looking for thoughts on some kind of coverage for the hand grips. We have brain stormed the basic's, starting with Duck tape and cellophane and so on. Would think there would be something to paint over to seal it, any ideas?
