Expert Review Very light and rugged, and exceptionally clear! - Leupold BX-3 Mojave 10x42mm Roof Prism Waterproof Binoculars

I believe the best design for a bino is the open hinge, and Leupold delivers with the BX-3. I'm able to get each hand around both barrels for the best stabilization possible. The center focus wheel is silky smooth, and the close focus might even be a little less than 7.5 ft! These have an aluminum body with a waterproof armor, and it makes them lighter than most binos in this price range. This is just about the starting price point for an exceptionally clear pair of binoculars, and the Leupold fully multi-coating ensures that you'll get your money's worth. The view is VERY crisp, and the coatings will cut down on glare, allowing the user to clearly view their area, even if they are looking towards the sun. Lastly, the Real Oak treestand finish covers the ENTIRETY of the product, even the eyecups! I have no problem recommending these for hunters or wildlife viewers in an more open setting, whereas the 8x magnified option would be better for users in a brushier setting. Leupold does not disappoint with the BX-3 Mojaves!
