  • Clean sharp image. Great value for money
Size: 10x42
Fantastic binoculars for the money. Nice weight and feel in hand. We wear glasses and the eye re-relief works great. Started using it more often with weather improving. Took a shot at some of the trees in backyard with leaves blooming. The vision was striking-almost akin to viewing the tress branches in shot in very professional video camera in a nature documentary. Can not wait to start watching some birds. I just wish it came with tripod mount. This would be a great feature to add. I would probably rate this binocular 4.5/5 for this reason, otherwise it is a 5 all the way. Never tried any other binocular except a small Tesco years ago. I have some to belief you get what you pay for. Very happy with purchase. This one goes with us on every trip going forward. ... show more

  • Wow product
Size: 10x42
We bought this binocular for our Alaska trip and wow, it is one of the best purchases ever. We visited Kenai Fjords and Denali National Park and it was an amazing experience to use this binocular to watch wildlife. We were able to see humpback whales, orcas, bears, caribous and a lot more. The binocular was extremely easy to adjust and use and the quality is outstanding . Really good purchase. Highly recommend ... show more

  • Great upgrade to my 20 year old binoculars

Excellent product. Took these to Yellowstone and was amazed at the clarity, field of view and low light capture. Would highly recommend.

  • One issue to be aware of
Size: 10x42
The binoculars are awesome but the eye piece cap is extremely loose. I just purchased the product. The eyepiece cap constantly falls off. I suspect the cap will be gone quickly. Otherwise it's a quality product with a clear picture and easy to focus. The issue with the eye piece cap is why it's not getting 5 stars. ... show more

  • Good optics, solid but not heavy, great for whale-watching
Size: 10x42
I wanted another set of binoculars to keep in my car as I like to check out reports of whales when I'm going somewhere or camping near the water. These were recommended and they work well. I'm just getting used to them but I like the weight and the optics and they come with a nice case (good for being in the car) and a strap. ... show more

  • Great for nature watching!
Size: 10x42
Took this in my Alaska trip and was able to view the whales and other wildlife while on the cruise ship! Comes in a convenient carry case and didn’t take up a lot of space in my luggage.

Very satisfied. Bright, sharp, and a reasonable amount of fringing for the price.
