Using binoculars is not a risk free activity. The image seen through monoculars appear in their correct orientation through the use of two prisms, whereas in most telescopes the images are inverted.
It is important to protect binoculars from dust, mist, rain, fog, moisture, sunrays, fire, and fingerprints. Binoculars will become one of your favorite travel accessories. More than a few people have been surprised to learn that binoculars go out of whack when bashed.
Such lens cloths take even fingerprints and stains of all sorts off your binocular lens. Attached caps will protect the lenses, but not require you to fumble in your pockets looking for lens caps if it starts to rain or snow. Certain types of binocular lens cloth are even machine-washable using either cold or hot water.
Binoculars for deer hunting might not be the best type that you would use for hunting rabbits. Some high end binoculars, are so well constructed that they come with a lifetime guarantee. You may not be planning on getting them wet, but things happen; you might trip and drop them in a mud puddle, take them out on a foggy day, or you might get caught in a freak rain shower.
Make sure you look at the len's coating when making your purchase of binoculars. In my opinion, one should be prepare to purchase a binocular worthy of your endeavors.
