“The covers fit well, but the flimsy connector piece keeps breaking. This is our third set for this pair of binoculars and at the price they are, it is a bit ridiculous to have to keep replacing them.”
“The lens cover showed up and was easy to put on. The support team helped me figure out what product number I needed to order. Thank you Swarovski team”
