The problem of course is, if one has a classic superb porro that´s non-WP, and also a modern WP roof, a distressing element of secondary choice is introduced into the whole matrix of choices upon leaving the house.
First of all, you have to decide which binos to bring. So you have to check the forecast, or try to remember Geography lessons from 40 years earlier and decide on the basis of cloud-types what kind of front is about to pass overhead, and whether it´s likely to bring rain.
But if you choose the porros, you then have to decide which jacket to bring, because if you´ve got your forecasting wrong and it rains, you´ll need a waterproof jacket under which to conceal your porros.
This means (and I´m not being facetious here, it really is the case), that you usually play safe and bring your WP roofs, and your classic porros play Cinderella. Again.
I don´t have a dog in this fight, I have SV 8x32 and also EII 8x30, which I seem addicted to buying, selling and re-buying because they are my favourite ever porro. I´m on my fifth pair, but so far I´ve never had this latest pair outside the house. Haven´t even attached the strap. Might never do so. And for the record, I can never decide which actual view I prefer. Although in fairness the SV are really far more comfortable, and stable, in my girly-hands.
