Case for EL 8x32? (1 Viewer)

[Sheepwatcher]

Does anyone know of a lightweight case that would fit 8x32 ELs relatively snugly? I recently got a used pair without a case. I'd love something that could fit on my belt, for example. I'm often out working on the farm and want to have binoculars readily at hand, but they would be vulnerable to damage hanging on my neck or shoulder. Thanks!

I recommend looking online (or calling dealers) for Zeiss, Vortex or Opticron Cordura cases that will fit your 8x32 ELs. Most of these have a belt loop as well as a shoulder strap. Great bins btw, enjoy them in good health.

Zeiss carry bag works great for the EL32’s , as well as for many 42’s. I have these for multiple binoculars, very secure, nice padding with carry strap.

Also looks like a 32mm model is available:

I find the two-handed fastex buckle on bino cases to be frustrating, an easy fix for most is to delete the former and add a twist lock, as I put on the Minox or Sam Brown button as on the Billingham. Easy one hand operation!

That makes the Swarovski field bag look like a downright bargain!

I like how Amazon lists the Conquest HD as an accessory.

Thanks for all the great suggestions. The bag for the Zeiss Conquest 8x32 ended up working perfectly for me. I really like the fit, and the fact that the cover comes down over the body on 3 sides, helping to keep sheep manure off my ELs.

It’s always a good thing when a product keeps sheep manure off a persons Swarovski binoculars 😉

...especially now that they lack SwaroClean.

I carry mine in the small size neoprene covers by Op/tech. A good snug fit that would be too tight if the neoprene were not so stretchy. And they come in camo.
