Highlights
Quality
It is very sturdy and feels like great quality.
It's well made, super easy to use, focuses great, compact.

The really strange thing is that it doesnt seem theres any thought put towards outdoor use

It doesnt have any kind of covers for the objective or ocular glass so that means its going to live in its belt pouch
