Well, I would not drop them into the lake and expect no problems; but certainly within rain and snow mine stand up well.

As far as I know they are waterproof and fog proof. This is something Swarovski is proud of besides their incredible optical clarity even in low light. I have been truly thrilled with these binos. You don't have to pay this much for good binos but with Swarovski you have a lifetime guarantee. I figure I will be passing these down to my children which is more than I can say for the numerous other $3-400 binos I have purchased before. I am turning 65 and I figure that if not then when will I finally get top binos after forty years of birding. You won't regret this purchase.

Yes, these are indeed waterproof. They are, however, made in China and I wouldn't risk dropping them in the lake.

no they are not waterproof, no idea on any brand since these are electronic units. I cannot even recommend one.

I would say no. I haven't tried them in water, but the materials do not seem waterproof at all.

No they are not. They are water and fog proof. The Monarch Nikon binoculars do have the nitrogen. The Monarch cost double . I have the Prostaff 7 and love them. Very clear I have been very pleased with them.

Obviously it depends on the conditions in which you will use the binoculars. If you never use them outdoors in wet or cold conditions, then it isn't worth it. I've owned the 10x50 Action EX for 3-4 years and love them. I don't have to worry about the binoculars getting wet or fogging up in cold weather.

They come with a soft case and lens covers (they are soft plastic). My husband loves these binoculars!

I have had them mounted since July 4th on the outside of my vehilce. No issues and its been a wet summer here, they are sealed, so I would say that they are waterproof.

Yes they will. Have used a tripod as the binoculars are extremely heavy for looking at birds, stars, etc. Hope this helps you out.

Yes they are water proof, but to a certain extent. You dont want them getting soaked all the time.

Yes, they are. However, the cover for the eyepiece is flimsy and doesn't stay on as well as it should. That being said, they are excellent binoculars and, I feel, this is a minor flaw.

Yes. Any Nikkor or Nikon lens with the initials AW (All Weather) is waterproof.

I haven't used the binoculars in the rain or near water so don't know how they perform, but the included paperwork says, "Reasonable care should be taken to prevent exposure to . . . moisture . . . water, salt water or any other substance which may penetrate the inside of the binoculars, or the mechanisms."

I purchased these cameras for a birthday party. I was not concerned if they were waterproof. Perhaps the manufacturer can give you the information you are looking for.
