Quality budget binoculars - Vortex Triumph HD 10x42 Roof Prism Binoculars

I've been comparing a few different binoculars ranging in price from $99 to $500 to find one that works best for me. For the price, this pair seems really solid. Unlike the slightly more expensive Crossfires, the eyecups on these click into place and don't collapse when they are extended. They also just felt a little tougher with better grip. The optical quality was decent, and very close to the Crossfires, to the point that it was hard to tell much difference. I ended up going with the Diamondbacks, but will keep these as a backup pair, or to give to a friend.
