A bottle of pepsi is water proof! I only discovered that the Leicas are not waterproof because of this thread. Even the dealer was surprised and offered to take them back. Problem is I really like them and take them when ever I travel. I may have to find a pair of Tasco's on sale for kayaking heh heh.... -----Original Message----- From: Sandykayak_at_aol.com [mailto:Sandykayak_at_aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 1999 11:56 AM To: BDenton_at_aquagulf.com; bwship_at_inetmail.att.net; PaddleWise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Waterproof Binoculars In a message dated 8/4/99 11:38:53 AM Eastern Daylight Time, BDenton_at_aquagulf.com writes: << It just says 8x20 BCA and I discovered they are NOT waterproof!! >> OK, Bob, now let me see if I have this right. You have been touting some very fancy (and obviously expensive) binoculars that fit in your PFD pocket AND THEY ARE NOT WATERPROOF?! Well, as I mentioned to you in a private post, I was ashamed to mention my $200 (got them on sale for $99 when they relocated) TASCO Marine binoculars. However, I tested them this morning and they do work fine, which means that despite the dunking we got off Cape Sable 18 months ago MY EL CHEAPOS ARE WATERPROOF!!
