    If you mamaged to break a pair alreadu, look for a brand with a good warranty. When i was looking at a few sets in a shop (Camt remember which one other than it was one of the cheaper ones) had a no questions return, guy at the shpp saod you could drive your truck over them and they would be replaced!

    Worth a look $500 a8nt a lot when it comes to binos but it's still more than you wanna throw away.
    Go look at several pairs in your price range and see what works for you.

    I was out in the front that hit the kaweka's on Saturday slipped on a snow covered rock and ended up sitting waist deep in a stream my bino's were in there waist pouch as I assed over they took the brunt of the force and cracked the front lense then filled with water,,a sign to get my ass home cos as I walked back to my ute the snow really hit,(live and learn I guess)

    I have a pair of Vortex Diamondback 10 x 42 and value for money they are very good. I have picked up animals a lot quicker and a lot further away than I ever could with other binos. Obviously not comparable with Leica or Swaro's but bang for buck they are very good

    I'm using a pair of Bushnell Legend M 10x42's and very impressed with their optical clarity as they have Prime ED glass and dielectric prism coatings. Locking diopter is a bonus as well.

    +1 for the vortex. Decent optics and if you arse over and fuck em again they will replace them for free.
