Hello High North,
You call "-4ºC" cold? On Friday, I was bird watching with a Meopta Meopro 6.5x32 and a Zeiss FL 10x32, when it was -16ºC, which was my coldest bird watching effort. The Meopta may have been a bit sluggish, but it was less affected from the cold than I was. The Zeiss was working well.
At a mere -4º, I would not expect any fatigue, so when it went "hurtling," was there some extra momentum from your removing the sweater? I once threw a binocular over my shoulder before putting my arm through the neck strap. That binocular hurtled to the floor and was dispatched for repair, at my expense. Ouch!
Happy bird watching,
