Hard cordura case for SF 10x32 ? (5 Viewers)

[NatureLover123]

Hello together,

I would like to have a hard case for my SF 10x32 in order to carry it in a backpack safely, without worrying during a longer bike tour. Usually I carry it in its original soft case along with a harness on the bike and pull it easily out when needed, but I want to have it stored safely when the trail gets harder and more dangerous. I don’t want to risk to break it if I might fall with the bike.

I know I need more biking skills 😂, or I could just use the supplied hard case of the SF 42, but it’s a bit too big.

Maybe the Terra ED 42 case fits also with extended eyecups? But the spec of the Terra tells that the Terra is 8mm shorter.

Does anyone have a good solution for that issue?

Thank you

I've got a terra 42, with rainguard and internal objective covers fitted it is 145mm long, it fits in the hard clamshell with the covers fitted and eyecups screwed in with a 14/15mm extra gap left. So it "might" fit the sf but you could do with trying one at a shop to make sure.

Thank you that helps. My SF is with rainguard and covers and my custom personal eyepiece setting (with o rings a few mm between the last clickstops) ~162mm long. It might fit with the official 2nd clickstop but I guess the big focuser will not fit in the case.

But I will try it at a dealer.

I really like the Maven hard foam cases. They are available in different sizes, and you want to get one a little bigger than your binoculars so you have room for your strap. I think the mid-size would be about right for your Zeiss SF 10x32. Here is how my Zeiss SFL 8x30 looks in the compact case with the strap off to the side.

Thank you for your tips @Bezzer and @Dennis Mau. I think the compact Maven case will fit perfectly with my custom eyepiece setting, but it’s hard to find that case in Germany. I‘ll keep looking.

Thank you
