I have used a pair of Steiner's Commander model for years. I especially appreciate its ability to gather image in low light. They have survived many a wet passage without moisture issues. I do keep them out of the hot sun or severe wet when not in use. I insist that any crew who dares to use them put the floating strap behind their neck and be sure if the Steiner's go overboard they are attached.
Calypso's co-owner has used several higher tech binos from Fuji and another company. Both suffered from wet and rough conditions but performed well when new. Both bino's fancy electronic compasses had performance issues where the Steiner's old fashion compass has only required an occasion new battery for the night light.

Nikon, Bushnell and Steiner all have 7 x 50 glasses that are within my budget. If you have used the Nikon OceanPro, Bushnell or "cheap" Steiners can you let me know if you are happy with them?
