I wanted compact rugged bino's that were light enough to take on long trips. These are very high quality, waterproof and unlike many cheaper products, they don't cause eye strain.

I bought 2 pairs of these binocs for our small children as we are introducing them into the world of birdwatching. They are perfect for kids... small and light and fold small enough to accommodate their small faces. They are also waterproof (juice-proof) and are fully guaranteed for anything that might happen to them (drop on a rock, step on them, etc...). Also, if they decide not to pursue birdwatching, it won't be because of poor optics. It's amazing what Nikon has been able to do in such a small package. OANd once they outgrow these binocs, I will keep them under the seat of the car, just in case I happen to see a lifer when driving ! Opticsplanet had thes in stock when other vendors did not. They were also slightly cheaper. I got them within a few days of ordering them. Gret binics, good job Opticsplanet !
