Water falls from the sky in the real world, and it keeps collecting on the ground, just waiting to embrace your expensive scope. Not all waterproofing levels are equal. The IPX ratings are here to help you decide how much protection you need. Manufacturers don't always get official IPX testing, though, so keep your ear to the ground about what reviewers and owners have found.
