'It's still perhaps the famous Steiner ruggedness that is best on show in the new Steiner SkyHawk 3.0 series. For example, the binoculars are waterproof to up to 3 metres due to the nitrogen pressure system which uses an innovative, patented, 2-way-valve technology to prevent the formation of condensation and internal fogging. This isn't the green light to take them swimming with you, but it actually means you will always have clear sight for a reliable use, even when birding in tropical climes.' - J.W Hamilton, Ed
FIRST LOOK: new Steiner SkyHawk 3.0 8x32 binoculars

As birders and nature lovers, we always demand reliability and decent performance from our optics. They are the essential equipment for any trip into the field and some of us will be lucky enough to own more than one pair. A second 'trusty' pair of bins if you like, for when that split second birding opportunity arrises.
German manufacturer, Steiner, has been working closely with birdwatchers and naturalists for many years now. They have a reputation for manufacturing robust, quality optics at sensible price points. And in 2014, they have been busy with their new offering - the SkyHawk 3.0 range of binoculars.
