I myself own Swarovskis. I know, hooray for me....

The reason I shared I owned them was that I was rather impressed with a set of Vortex Binos that I compared to my own binos. The Vortex binos are a mere fraction of the price and they are surprisingly clear and very affordable. If I was in the market for a set of back up binos, I'd buy a pair in a heartbeat.
