Neat and tidy

These binoculars fit into very neatly into one of the pockets on my Lowepro Fastpack 250 camera backpack. Really light and rugged for outdoor use.

great binocs, crappy lens covers

The binocs are great. Crystal clear. But for the money, I think the lens covers should of been better. Very poor design. Front covers are so tight I can barely get them on. Rear covers just the opposite. Super loose.

Great pair of Binoculars

These were my first pair of nice binoculars and they have been nothing but great to me for a long time now. I have looked at similar binoculars by other manufacturers and none of them have the clarity that these do. The reticle option that these have...
