  • Great affordable binoculars
I bought these for my bird-obsessed 9 year old, since the ancient family Porro prism 7x35s I had him starting with were a bit ungainly for his small hands and frame. In short these Nikon are great! They're small and light (and they fit small faces/short interpupillary distances), have decent optics (good field of view and brightness with adequate color and sharpness), and are tough and waterproof. Oh, and they're pretty affordable! My only niggles are that the eyecups don't stay in their extended position well (as others have mentioned), and the ocular/eyepiece covers are separate pieces and will soon be lost if I don't rig up some sort of attachment. Regardless, I continue to be impressed by Nikon products' value for the money, and with this not-too precious price tag, we can just focus on finding cool birds! They should last a budding explorer a long time. ... show more

  • For the price point, these worked well
We just completed an Alaskan cruise and we thought these would be good to see wildlife from the cruise ship or the tours. Unfortunately all the tours were closed in Juneau due to the rough seas, so we didn't get to use them on that tour. Well going in mid Sept we didn't see much wildlife, but it was very neat to see the blue glacier ice using these binoculars. That's incredible! In my opinion the protective lense covers were way too loose. I think you could easily lose them. I did like how compact the binoculars were when folded up. Nice little protective case and easily fit in my backpack. They do provide a strap, but we never used it on this trip. Clarity was good. I also took my Nikon camera with long range lenses, but still enjoyed the binoculars! ... show more

  • At $75 these Nikon Trailblazers may just be the Best Bang For Your Buck in the Compact Universe!
I will start with the most important thing where binoculars are concerned. The glass in the Trailblazers is Made in Japan, not China. Japan makes some of the best optics on Earth at a competitive price just about anyone can afford if they want value for their money. While it is true the Trailblazers are put together in China the glass is world class. I find them to be great all-around compact binoculars perfect for hiking or simply having at hand no matter what one wants a better look at. The glove compartment is ideal in my opinion. The Trailblazer binoculars are great for hiking, fishing, ball games, the Moon, and so on. While solidly built they are still relatively light. Much lighter than full size binoculars and easy to stash in a pocket. If you are not sold then my best advice would be to spend about $300 to $350 on a pair of Zeiss Terra ED compact binoculars. Both binocular lines are at the top of their class.... One thing I should add... Smaller Binoculars can be a little more difficult at first than larger binoculars to find the sweet spot for your eyes to fully benefit from them. Try going to extremes .. fully spread, then compare the view with less and less spread. Turn the eyepieces from short to long and just play with the glasses for a while and you will probably find the sweet spot for your face and eyes. Every time I have ever done this it may have taken a while but when I find the right adjustments it is definitely worth the time IMO, no matter which binoculars you buy. Happy Birding! ... show more

  • Solid all around performance, maybe a little fragile...
I bought these for lightweight back packing. These offer a considerably wider field of view than most other 8x25's- 8 degrees vs. the more common 6 to 6.5 degrees. It's impressive that they can produce such a wide field of view with nearly no field distortion, while remaining sharp across the field. They feature a pretty solid close-focus distance, which makes them fun for observing flowers and insects. They produce a high contrast image in reasonable lighting, despite their lack of phase-coated prisms. This suggests excellent anti-reflection coatings and good control of stray light. Compared side by side to a similarly priced 8x25 porro prism binocular (Vortex Vanquish), the image has slightly less contrast, and slightly less sharpness in the finest details, but otherwise compare very favorably. The Trailblazer is lighter and far more compact, which makes them much more favorable for lightweight backpacking use. The one drawback is that they may be a little fragile- I dropped them, contained in their padded case, from waist height while removing them from my belt. To my dismay, this knocked them out of collimation. No binocular should ever be dropped, but it happens, and while it might not be a reasonable expectation, one might hope that the binocular mechanics would be solid enough to withstand a low level padded drop. (I was able to get them back to functional by manually bending the hinge armature, which suggests the issue might be in the hinges, not the prism alignments- the bridge is quite flexible. In any case, minus one star for loosing collimation a bit too easily.) ... show more

  • Easy to use
Much better than my old pair. Viewing is clear and it is easy to find what you’re looking for, while still being pretty small and easy to pack and carry.

  • Great backpack binoculars
I always carried a pair of box store optics with me in my backpack. I have huge Nikon binoculars for hunting trips, spotting, etc., but those are not easy to carry for a day trip. I tried several other compact sets and never got what I wanted out of them because I was so spoiled by the big ones. Finally, I read an article about these and it prompted me to check them out. The price was good for the quality of the product so I bought a pair. I’d like to say they’re in my backpack now, because I love them, but they keep getting borrowed. Guess I need to get another pair. They’re really good for compact binoculars, heck they’re just good binoculars period. Make sure you hide them or buy two otherwise you’ll never get to use them. ... show more

  • Very nice for the price!
I was replacing a Zeiss that was not covered under a Lifetime warranty, and these are pretty darn good glasses to carry when hunting. They are clear, bright, easy to use and are soon going to Ireland. They are not 7x50 see at dusk binos. They are not as small as my favored Zeiss, with the defective warranty. They are nice. And, the price is very fair for these glasses. ... show more
