Shasta ridge 10 x 42 and 8 x 42 - Alpen Shasta Ridge 10x42 Waterproof/Fogproof Binoculars

These 10 x 42 binoculars are the second pair of binoculars I have bought from this company. The others were Shasta Ridge 8 x 42. Both perform very well and I am extremely pleased with their performance and ease of use. The eye cups are especially useful. One minor complaint; although the object lens covers have retaining straps, it is quite easy for them to become detached and lost. To overcome this I have tied both retaining straps together using fishing line! The chances of both becoming detached seems very unlikely. I'm now going to buy a smaller pair to fit in my pocket. Full marks to Shasta Ridge!!
