Steel,

I belive the rubber eyecups fold down both fully and halfway. A call to Zach at Garrett would confirm this.

Yes it does prevent it. I want to say that 20% or so of the total viewing capability is blocked with the rubber. When you fold them back however, you get the full view. This is why I opted for the 15x85's as they dont have this problem granted its AFOV is smaller than the 22x85
