My Swarovski SLCs came with tethered caps for the objectives, and a cover for the eyepiece end that is attached to the binocular strap. I recently took the caps and the covers off. When I am not using them they are in the case. When I am using them, they are always ready to go.
I am curious, how many folks use the caps and covers, and how many folks prefer "naked" binoculars?
Clear skies, Alan

I use my SLC covers, it doesn't cost anything extra and does protect the lens from a drop, the dust off of my beard and sweater, I don't clean my lens nearly as much as I used to.
