The ELs came in yesterday, they appear to be as advertised. Used them at dusk yesterday evening, bright, clear, focus fast, feel good in my hands. They won't really get a good workout until November. Only gripe, for the price, you figure Swaro could toss in a case but I guess not. They come with a crappy, no padding, pull string "field bag".

I prefer to keep mine in a chest rig, I used a cheap one for years but finally broke down and got a nice one before our Alaska trip last year and I wish I had done it sooner. I find I use them more because its so easy to access them, I also have my rangefinder in a pouch attached to it. plus its nice to have a place I can tuck my phone into and carry a few small things with (I keep my release in mine so I always have it with me when I hunt). https://shop.gohunt.com/products/ma...k-updated-version?variant=12573805543511

I bought mine new and they did come with a nice carrying case and a few other accessories.

I keep my binoculars in my backpack, which goes with me everywhere.

I keep my binoculars in my backpack, which goes with me everywhere. I used to do that but decided to lighten my load. Got a bino harness with pouch for the rangefinder and a few other small items. If it won't fit in the harness or my pockets I leave it at camp. I like it much better.

The bino harness is what I'm speaking of, may have misspoke about chest rig. I can keep several items in mine. I don't carry a backpack anymore.
