Zeiss conquest - Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42mm Schmidt-Pechan Prism Waterproof Binoculars

Bought a pair of Zeiss Conquest 10x42 over 12 months ago, the eye cups have cracked on about 6 pairs, Zeiss agent in Australia have sent me replacements but this is a poor product, i treat the binoculars with kid gloves yet the eye cups keep cracking after minimal pressure to cover with the provided rubber protective caps, i have had several Zeiss products over the years and this is easily the worst, i wish i had bought Swarovski instead.
