They come with an excellent rainguard, a decent strap and a high quality case. All this for the princely sum of £499.First impressions are extemely positive. They feel beautifully engineered and very solid. They are no lightweights but are lighter than my previous 8.5x44 Swift roofs. The focusing is smooth and feels better to me than the Ultravids which I tried a few days ago. The diopter adjustment is brilliant and I think all binoculars should have the same system.The view seems excellent – notably much clearer, sharper and brighter than the Swift HHS roofs which I have been using. It will be interesting to see how they fare in poor light.I have been lusting after a pair of quality binoculars, which will outlast me, and hopefully these will fit the bill. New Ultravids and Swaro ELs are really outside my budget so I am hoping for a happy relationship with my little Trinovids.Thanks for putting them on my radar.:t:Ron</blockquote>
