Swarovski has been the leader in western hunting optics since the 1990s. Their quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. Their glass and glass coating are high quality, and when you glass, you have great clarity from edge to edge.

The Swarovski NL Pure binoculars are the perfect birding binoculars, with superb close focus, field of view, and an amazingly wide, flat field, free from linear distortion. Their close focus is 6.6'.

SWAROVSKI OPTIK offers a lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship on the optical system of our products for products purchased by US and Canadian residents from an authorized SWAROVSKI OPTIK North American dealer.

This is probably a good place to mention that the "EL" in Swarovski EL binoculars stands for "Ergonomic Light." In addition to making them lightweight for extended field excursions, Swarovski endeavored to make them as ergonomically comfortable to use as possible.
