Which binos should I get??
I'm planning on getting my husband some Swarovski binoculars for his 30th birthday but I have NO IDEA which ones to get. He uses his binos almost on a daily basis and needs something that can take a little abuse. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Wow !
Lucky guy..........and, I'm sure in more ways than one !!!
Take a look at these ( you did say Swarovski - right ?).

As he is a hunter; you may want to consider these (Binos & rangefinder in one from Zeiss).

Thanks for the replies! I think he's pretty dang lucky too
Does anyone know what the difference between an 8.5x42 and a 10x42 is? And whats the difference between the EL and the SLC? How far away could you see with these? I'm so confused!
Has anyone had any experience dealing with their warranty department?

The first number with the "X" behind it, is the power (ie. 8 & 1/2 power or 10 power)
8 & 1/2 times or 10 times normal human vision.
The next number is the diameter of the "front" lens (ie 42MM = 42 milliameters).
The larger the "front" lens the better the light gathering ability.
However, the bigger it is, the more weight; as a rule.
Warranty ?? - It's lifetime !
