I would absolutely and whole-heartedly recommend these binoculars, except for one small but critical weakness - the rivets that hold the neckstrap to the glasses. These broke off after only a few months of use, and did so suddenly, dropping my glasses on hard ground and distorting the alignment of the lenses to the point that the bins are now useless. I've submitted a request for repair/replacement, as they are supposedly covered by a 25 year warranty. We'll see what happens.
Pros: clear, sharp, comfortable, light
Cons: neckstrap rivets flimsy to the point of not functioning
