This doesn't happen with my Swaros nor did it with a pair of Vortex 10x Diamondbacks I once owned, both of which have similar eye cup styles.  And no, my nose isn't big at all nor are my eyes that closely set.  Weird......And I too am glad Charles is addressing the objective lens covers.... they're way too loose.  As for the length of the strap.... seems to be the same as the detachable Vero Vellini's I have on my Swaros.  That said I'd prefer both to be shorter <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Anyhow, so much for first impressions.  Hoping for some decent skies to see how they do at night.  I'm hoping for pinpoint stars without any astigmatism or other ill effects.</blockquote>
