Thread: Swaro or Leica

Robustness is a term often bandied about by manufacturers of high-end luxury sporting equipment - but it's empty praise, considering most people spending THOUSANDS of dollars on an item, will baby it to no end.

I hear ya. Not in this case. I have carried these binos on my belt for their life time pig hunting. Don't tell Swaro but they have been banged inside the case repeatedly as I crawl through scrub, as well as when the butt of the 44 hits them and drowned in blood as it leaks down over my belt. Definitely worse treatment than most would dish out but they have taken it all and asked for more. And the optics. Oh the optics................... Three mates have the Leica compacts. One of them fell to pieces in the glove box. The other two like them but look after them. Who knows ay??
