The Rain Caps and protective covers do not fit on the eye cups, and are a loose fit.

Second; if you're only familiar with the roof prism binos (or haven't used porros in a while) you'll realize there are a few tradeoffs. Porros are the older style but produce clearer images with wider fields of view (because the light passes through fewer prisms) BUT they are physically larger. This 8x30 is as large as (but much lighter than) my 10x40 Leupold roof prisms (when perpendicular to each other).
Comfort-wise, with the open frame these carry like a set of roof prisms. The eye-cups are sized nicely (for me, anyway). There's plenty of adjustment in the hinge for different faces. I can hold them comfortably single or double handed for quite some time. Overall, these are a solid set of German-made optics at a reasonable price.
Jusy buy a set....you'll see.
I have Steiner Predator roof prism binoculars that do not adjust to my IPD, love them except for the IPD problem. My wife now has them, as she has more normal IPD. In my experience, porro prism binoculars accommodate wide IDP better than roof prism binoculars. Practically no binocular manufacturer specifies IPD, so you need to try the binoculars to see if they fit. Amazon's return policy make this no risk and I just bought the 10 power version of these binoculars for a little more reach.
Since i already had a set of 8x 42mm Predator binoculars these were no surprise on the clarity and color shift. The smaller objective lenses make these binoculars much lighter, smaller and easier to grip. I use these in my vehicle for general observation of terrain and animals and the color cast makes animals easier to spot. The single focus setting allows you to track objects without refocusing, important for fast moving subjects coming at you or moving away (birds and aircraft).
Cons: No settings mark for oculars, so if more than one person is using the binoculars they need to be reset each time you switch users. Resetting is easy to do, but takes time and you might lose sight of a moving object during that period. Best for one user. Not good for serious bird watching. The color cast and 20 meter minimum focusing distance can make identification difficult. Not good for night observation. The objective lenses are too small for good night vision, best use from late dawn to early twilight. I have 7 x50mm and 8 x 56mm binoculars for low light conditions. Finally, the neck strap is OK, but could be wider and padded to make it more comfortable.
All in all, I think these are great binoculars for the price, even better values when Amazon has them on sale.
