They make pipe insulation for a reason friend.... Loose batt is for walls and ceilings not for pipes...It's more work and will cost you more than just getting the right size pipe insulation.

My thought process is that I already have the insulating, I only need the coverup. Buying that, if it exists, should be cheaper than shell + insulation together readymade. Should anyways.

The thing is you’ll get more insulation value putting the loose batt insulation in your attic and getting the right fitting pipe insulation for the pipes.
