Most Helpful Positive Review Outstanding performance and value
Bought mine about four years ago for hunting and have been very pleased. They are a bit bulky and heavier than more streamlined roof prism design, but the trade off is super wide field of view, clarity and most importantly outstanding light transmission at dawn and dusk. Have had several buddies w/ MUCH more expensive glass remark that theirs can't compare to my $150 Nikons! Pros: Great light transmision in low light. Super wid field of view. Cons: A bit bulky for my hands- one handed focus (while holding rifle) is a bit tricky .

Excellent binoculars

by Ricardo Lopes Souza, Verified Owner from DF, Brazil Written on November 1, 2019
Best binoculars I've had so far. Used mine for birdwatching around the house basically, never tested the waterproofing. The included case and strap are also of good quality. Unfortunately, my beloved binoculars was stolen, so I'll probably buy the exact model again.
Pros:
  • rugged construction
  • excellent optics
Cons:
  • a bit bulky and heavy
Best Used for:
  • Birdwatching
Would recommend: Yes

Ted Kaplysh

by Ted, from CO, United States Written on November 23, 2014
This is the second pair I purchased (left the first pair in the forest). I use them primarily for hunting in the north-central mountains of Colorado. While there are some expansive views more likely I'll be in forest. During the hunting seasons the temperatures range from in the 60s to below zero. Weather can vary from bright sun to rain or snow and darkness comes quickly when the sunsets behind the mountains. The pair functions well under all the conditions I encounter.

great for bird watching

by Percival, from AZ, United States Written on September 6, 2014
Easy to operate, light weight, good value and good optics. The kind of quality you would expect from Nikon. Great for bird watching or sporting events. I took these binoculars with me on a day hike and really enjoyed them. They allowed me to stand off at a good distance and still observe the wildlife without disturbing them.
Would recommend: Yes
