Quality, clarity, rugged - Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42mm Schmidt-Pechan Prism Waterproof Binoculars

Those are the three things I look for in an optic. Quality- The fit and finish of these Zeiss Conquest HDs binoculars are amazing, they feel great in the hand and they balance very good. Clarity-One way to test binoculars is to use them in very low light. 30-45 min before the sun rises or 45min after the sun sets. This is where the conquest stands out to me. When you can see wildlife before your friends can even walk safely without a light you know you have the best. Rugged-I have dropped these binoculars numerous times….and I cringed every time I had to pick them up…only to be surprised with a slight scuff on the outside. Glass QUALITY and the CLARITY stayed the same. I’ve had these pairs for 5 years or so and I’m not planning on changing any time soon.
