Yet I might buy one just to 'complete the picture' so to speak. I have the bins on a short leash, high on my chest for immediate access, which poses a bit of a problem if I want to tuck them away under my coat in the rain. They are too big for that.I suppose the bins are OK to use in the rain, as long as they won't get soaked?The Fujinon rainguard on my 18x50's is a good thing, though it is a bit oversized. It is deep so it doesn't fall off even if I hold the bins upside down. Yet it is easily removed with one hand. I have connected the rainguard to the strap with a keyring, this way I can put the rainguard back on without having to grab it from in between the strap lugs. Regards,Ronald</blockquote>
