The VP Series Binoculars from Carson are fully waterproof, meaning you can use them in any weather conditions without fear of damaging them. As well as quick, this process is also pretty much silent as there are no zips or Velcro fasteners that often make enough noise to spook easily frightened wildlife. Carson Optical currently offer a wide range of binoculars suitable for most uses including travel, bird watching, wildlife observation, hiking and camping as well as hunting, sporting events. These 10x42 full-size binoculars deliver gorgeous views and comfortable handling to help you observe nature in complete clarity. Before I realized that the case was designed to be "worn" by the binoculars, I was a little surprised when I found that there was no eye-piece (rain guard) or objective lens covers supplied with these Carson binoculars.

A tough but very lightweight and waterproof body protects some really high quality optical components including the use of ED glass and phase-coated BaK-4 roof prisms that produce a bright and high quality image. BinoArmor is also virtually impervious to the elements, they eliminate the need for lens caps and rain guards, they are also almost silent to open and close and they work with standard neck straps or a binocular harness as well.This rubber armour also has a number of another benefits, including making the device less reflective and will also dampen down any sounds, if say your watch or ring strikes against the barrel - these are important features if you want to remain unnoticed when observing timid birds and other wildlife. They also produce a really bright and high quality image that is mostly down to the use of high quality glass elements and coatings in their construction. Additionally, they come with a variety of features such as adjustable eyepieces and focus, making them suitable for users with different visual needs.

Also inside the case you will find a lens cleaning cloth and a fairly generic instruction booklet that includes details like adjusting the eyecups, how to properly attach the neck strap, the inter-pupillary adjustment, how to properly focus your binoculars, lens care and cleaning etc. The JR-042, 10x42mm binoculars are O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged making them waterproof and fogproof. The extended eye relief ensures that these binoculars remain comfortable during extended use, allowing you to observe wildlife and scenery with greater comfort and clarity.Those who indicate that they could not fit the strap and camera into the case together just don't know how to wrap a strap around the middle of the barrels – then everything fits snugly into the case.
