Quick question:
Thinking about getting a pair of 8x30 Yosemite's (or 6x30) as kind of the backup binocular to 8x42 (not selected yet).
Going to Denali NP in June - spending maybe 4 days camping and hiking - I'm not anticipating trailbazing or rock climbing or anything, but the camp director did suggest that the "trails" are not always well traveled.
Someone suggested to me that the Yosemite's might have issues with hiking or the potential rain. I guess he was concerned the porro design is less rugged than a comparable roof design (for more money of course).
I've searched but cannot find any discussion on the matter.
Does anyone think the Yosemite design is really do fragile that standard hiking with a harness might cause a problem with the prisms?
