Very compact and light weight. Optics are clear and bright, the green rubber coating is very nice. The diopter ring is rather stiff so it stays put once adjusted, the center focus knob is a little sensitive.

I bought these for my daughter as we always have a steady and varied flow of suburban wildlife going through our backyard. All types of birds and small mammals, both wild and domesticated. These binoculars are great for viewing all of these creatures. Zoom is very smooth and allows a wide field of view range. The images are clear, vibrant and detailed. They are easily adjustable to accommodate my daughter's small face and my larger face. They are the perfect weight for her, while being substantial enough to impart the feel of a quality product. The waterproof feature is great as well as we have been out in the woods and been caught in a surprise rain shower. Very happy with the binoculars and looking forward to years of use.

As soon as I handed the newly-arrived Olympus Roamer 8X25 RC II WP binoculars to my wife and she looked through them she commented on how sharp the subject is. We have until now concentrated on Nikon binoculars, but neither of our two existing pairs of compact Nikons are easy to use. Their sole positive characteristic is that they are light, but they are hard to focus, not especially sharp, and have extremely narrow fields of view. These Olympus binos overcome all of those disadvantages and are waterproof on top of it all. They are so good that the day after we received the first pair I ordered a second pair.

The Olympus 8x25 WP II Binocular (Purple) is more than up to any task you care to throw at them; thanks to a body that is not only waterproofed to withstand inclement elements - hence the 'WP' suffix - but additionally features a rubber coated finish to provide a more robust grip and prevent unwanted slippage in the heat of the action.
While being designed to cope with the rigors of outdoor life, the porro prism binocular design is very portable too. The binocular is not only slender, but it can also be folded for easy transportation. The result is a stylish and flexible binocular ready for any eventuality.
