Alpen products perform - Alpen Shasta Ridge 10x42 Waterproof Binoculars

I picked these binos up on special at less than $200 based on a higher end pair of Alpen binos I have had for several years; as well as, a 20-60x80 spotting scope that are second to none. Where Alpen may not have the name recognition of some of the other manufacturers, their glass is clear and sharp. I bought this Shasta model as a back up to my other Alpen's and am thoroughly impressed with them. Field of view is clear edge to edge. At 10x, they have good light gathering capability and are very effective in picking up detail in critical low light conditions. If you're looking for a mid-range cost pair of binos, you will be very impressed with with these Alpen Shasta 10x42's. For the cost, they will be hard to beat!
