I see Leica Ultravid HD binocs in both black armor as well as green armor in some places. Everyone that has the Green armor ones have them for sale for SEVERAL hundred dollars less than the black armored ones. Can someone please tell me what the difference is between the two pair? For the green ones to be THAT much cheaper, I can't hardly believe that they are the EXACT same as the black ones....lol
 I am in the market for new binocs and I was saving for the Swarovski EL' s but the price of the green Ultravids is way better if they are the real deal!!!  
  Does anyone know anyone at Leica that can give us the skinny????   Thanks

From what I know, they are exactly the same, minus the armoring.  Neither one will have a warranty, which may be a consideration as well.  The Swaro SV's have no peer IMO.

Why no warranty?
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

Leica warranty only protects original purchaser who sent in the warranty card. 
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

just talked to Leica.......the greens come with warranty card, so they have FULL warranty!

Also according to Leica they are exactly the same....black or green doesn't matter!!!
