Steiner, with their marine/marine binoculars, make up a hearty portion of the mid-high range binocular market, and it’s easy to understand why, as they are the civilian version of what the military uses, so it’s safe to assume that these puppies can be counted on in wet and rough conditions.
Since they are military grade, this pair of binoculars is one of the most durable on the market. There are plenty of stories online about users of these binoculars being extremely rough with them and them remaining undamaged.
Great magnification combined with field of view mean that these do great in most lightings – even up to doing some astronomy at night for some users! Weather resistant and with a warranty, these are binoculars that can be counted on for a rainy hunting season, birding in salty ocean conditions, or can be even be loaned to a youngster without worrying that a drop will destroy them.
The image is sharp and there is nary a complaint – they do their job in any situation, and they do it well.
