Hi all, there's a lot of enthusiasm here for the 7x42 Hawethornes. Can any of you comment on the lack of lens covers? I'm debating between these or Monarch 5 8x42s. I'm concerned that as a college student who wants my binos to be safe around curious friends and also readily able to stow them for a backpacking trip they might suffer without every protective aid possible. Are there any practical aftermarket solutions to protecting the lenses, or is it hard to scratch them unless someone is really trying to?
