Re: [Paddlewise] Binoculars?

Any of the Steiner Mil spec binos are more than adequate.  Not cheap but you
simply wont buy another pair of binos ever. I abused the hell out of Steiner
binos as a forward observer.  Even threw them around my APC a few times.  I
never, ever saw a pair break in 7 years of fun in the sun. eBay has great
prices if you are patient.

  I raised this question privately with another list member whom I know
