I do not usually wax lyrical about a product however, these binoculars are something special. The workmanship is exceptional. The clarity is beyond what I expected. I have a similar pair from Nikon and they do not compare with the Ultravid 10x25. I would have liked to see a better quality neck strap in keeping with the quality of the product. I have no reservations in recommending this product to any outdoor person for any purpose.Leica 10x25 BCR Ultravid, Compact Water Proof Roof Prism Binocular with 5.1° Angle of View, Black Armored, U.S.A.

I purchased these for Archery hunting and, to a lesser extent, sporting events. I compared the Leicas, in-store, to the equivalent Swarovski and Zeiss. I almost went with the Swarovski 10x25 bp, and I'm sure I'd be just as happy, but the Zeiss (10x25 Victory T*) had too much of a "plasticky" feel, in particular the eye-cups on the Zeiss ocular didn't seem like a long-term solution because it was a composite plastic slide-up eye-cup. The Leicas are slide-up also, as opposed to twist up, but they are all metal. You can feel and hear the metal. The Leica has a solid feel in every detail, from the metal eye-cups, to the all metal focus and diopter adjustment button.
FOCUS and DIOPTER: The diopter adjustment dial is the same dial as the focus, but there is a small metal button beneath the focus wheel which, when depressed, engages the diopter instead of the focus. Pretty nifty, and simple. It also functions as a lock because so far I haven't accidentally depressed the button and turned the focus knob at the same time, so no worries.
LENS COVERS: The ocular lens covers work well, the included strap is decent enough, just a nylon strap, but the weave gets wider around the neck area, to about an inch wide. Very comfortable, I hardly notice them when I'm hiking around.
I do wish there was some sort of objective lens cover, Nikon seems to be the only manufacture with good objective lens covers. Looks like I'll have to measure up for Butler Creek covers again. At the minimum, they could extend the tubing beyond the glass a bit more, to hide the objective a little bit more, but that's just a preference thing.
IMAGE: The image quality was fantastic among the top binocs I looked through, however, the Zeiss par didn't have the FOV as the Leicas, which gave the Leicas a leg up again. The Swarovskis and Leica gave the impression of identical optical quality. With compacts of course, you sacrifice shakiness and FOV in favor of being lightweight, but these Leicas do very well at keeping the FOV up there with the 10x42s.
Overall, they are very simply made, but attention and quality was put into everything. I'm very happy with them, and to be fair, I'm sure I'd be equally happy with the Swarovskis, just not as sure about the Zeiss. I didn't want this to be about the other binoculars, but if you're like me, you compare all options first.

As an ardent Birdwatcher, Fine Optics are more than a passing interest. Leica has always rated very high on my list and I must say, these gems live up to and exceed my expectations. Clarity and contrast contribute to a bright, true image across the entire field, with no color aberrations. The field of view is very satisfactory and the new, larger focus knob makes use a breeze.
I highly recommend these weatherproof, armored binoculars to anyone interested in the one of the best optical instruments on the market.
