The only thing I am out is the shipping to them. I have been impressed with the quality and definately with the warranty.
I second this. Alpen isn't talked about much, but they make a great product and have a no fault lifetime warranty. I have a pair of their Ranier 8X42 which are their top of the line binocs. They are amazing optics. Well, my 8 year old son decided to sneak them out of the house when he went over to a friends house to play a few monthes back. When he came home and I discovered what he had done there was mud and grit caked into the twist up eyecups so bad that they wouldn't even budge. I called up Alpen and they said to send them in. I explained exactly what had happened. They fixed them no questions asked. All I was out was the shipping to them. Great company to deal with.
