One of the things I've always admired about
Steiner binoculars is their
durability. Steiner is one of the leaders in supplying
military binoculars around the world and they know how to make a tough binocular. Even the
Steiner birding binoculars have an extra heavy armor coating and, yet, they are still reasonable in weight. Don't let the word birding fool you, either.
Steiner roof prism binoculars also make great hunting binoculars and have received a number of awards from outdoor magazines.
