They’re fully sealed and purged with dry nitrogen gas, making them fogproof and waterproof.
Because of their superb quality, Granite ED binoculars have received multiple awards including an outstanding rating from Bestbinocularsreviews.com for the 9×33 model, while the Granite ED 8×42 earned the tile “Best Birding Binoculars 2012.” Cornell Labs recently included the 8×42 in their list of top birding binoculars in the $400-$700 price range
