I've only had these a SHORT time but two things that REALLY stand out are build quality and user friendliness.  The diopter adjustment beats every binocular I've ever owned and by a long shot.  One twist of the eye cups makes you wonder why everyone else doesn't do it this way.  Everything about the binocular works, well PERFECTLY.OPTICALLY?  I really haven't come to any conclusion.  I've used them a LITTLE.  Colors seem to be SUPER and of course optically it is excellent.  We'll see how it compares to a Vortex Viper HD and a Vanguard Endeavor ED II, both 8X42s later on. Split rings…  Yeah… They are so I can snap on and snap off using a harness.  So far I see no real wear on any binoculars though I'm sure it's worse than the OEM nylon strap.  So far that's the best solution I've come up with.  OP/TECH USA offers a Uni-loop style attachment.  You just loop around the ring that's part of the binocular then it has a clip for easy attachment.  I've got it here but haven't used it yet.</blockquote>
