Same wilderness - in 10x42 - Simmons Wilderness 10x25 Water Proof Binoculars 802219

Got these for cheap, since they are a discontinued model (Wilderness) line of Simmons binoculars. Used to retail for $120, now sell for around $60-80. After doing some research, found out these were produced around 2009 and lenses are actaully made by Olympus. These are a nice set of binoculars for hunting, bird and wildlife viewing...although I had some minor issues with parallax at 100 yards. But viewing at 400 yards or farther was crystal clear! They let in plenty of light at dusk or dawn conditions. Nice adjustable eye relief on the reticles. Field of view was nice and wide, at 315 feet for 100 yards (for the 10x42 model) of distance which was better than Bushnell. The carrying case that comes with these is ok, but the strap is kind of cheesy. This model (Simmons 10x42 Wilderness) is hard to find on the internet, but they are out there. If you want the same style and construction, look up 'Coleman 10x42 Signature All Terrain' binoculars....they are the same exact thing, just with a Coleman badge instead of a Simmons one, plus a 25 year warranty.
Pros: Good Value
Cons: Cheap strap, case
