These are amazing binos. They aren't as clear as your Swarovski binos as far as glass goes. If you have never experienced stabilizating glass though, it truly is a game changer. I rarely use my spotting scope anymore after purchasing these. They are in perfect condition. I have used them for one season last year. There are no dents or scratches. I have taken very good care of them, always in my bino harness or gun safe. They have never been dropped. As much as I love these binos I am selling these because I want to go back to the smaller ones which are better for archery hunting for myself.
