Nothing to worry about plastics and modern glues being used, companies like Zeiss and other high end makers have been useing this form of construction for ages, the plastics are reinforced with graphite, fibreglass or the like, modern adhesives are used for aircraft construction subject to extremely high loads,DA. Even if you are not, this layer also helps prevent dust and dirt from sticking to the lens surface and prevents watermarks from being left behind, meaning that you need to clean the lenses less often, and then when you do, less force is needed which is always a good thing. The Steiner Navigator Pro 7x30 with compass is the perfect pair of binoculars for recreational boaters, fishermen and sailors. In addition to the excellent image quality, this binocular offers a large analogue and fluid-damped compass, which can be illuminated and make it easier to determine the direction at sea.

mp Whether you're an avid birdwatcher, outdoor enthusiast, or just love exploring the details of the world around you, our discounted optics are your perfect companion.The combination of the fairly traditional Porro prism shape and the excellent NBR rubber coating that Steiner uses on these just works.

The fit is also tight enough to ensure they don't come away too easily, yet are reasonably easy to take off and put back.As I have already mentioned in the weight section of this review, for the most part, I feel that the included neck strap is excellent and I would rate it as one of the best. The fit of the binoculars when inside is a little too spacious for my liking meaning that they can flop about somewhat, although this is reduced somewhat when you include the neckstrap in with them.
