I have similar to Klaus experience with Sigma 10-20 /4.0-5,6 lens cap.
Actually there are two type of caps. The old one click on type. You have to push from the periphery of lens cap. The new one snap in front of lens cap. The new cap is step in good direction but still far away from optimal. I end up with 77mm Nikon cap, even if I’m canon shooter.
For long trekking journeys I also put the camera and lenses directly in my backpack. I use some padded plastic. It’s lightweight and protects the camera/lens from dust.
If I’m not satisfied from lens caps I buy the cheapest from Tamron or Nikon lens cap.
