Texas ranch (been going here since I was kid teen and never realized how good for birding it was!). Experienced all kinds of weather conditions dawn to dusk and subjected the bins to 100's of miles rough, bumpy, dusty rides on the floorboard of the jeep and they have held up well mechanically EXCEPT I noticed when the protective cap came loose that the tripod holder has now developed rust. Not sure how long it has been this way since I have had them in the rain/sea spray while birding in Japan. The optics continue to impress. Except for the early dawn moments, I almost always wore yellow/amber lensed sunglasses so the eyerelief issue is not a problem for me.</blockquote>
