These are really great binoculars and they are especially great if you have a smaller sized head. Crystal clear optics and very easy to adjust. I have used them for spotting wildlife outdoors. I have also taken them on vacation to St Maarten and could see people out on their mega yachts with ease. They are small enough to pack and take anywhere and the optics are outstanding. At some point I'd like to try a different set with different focal lengths. Vortex makes great stuff!

I've had mine nearly 3 years and love the sharpness and clarity as well as the light weight. The only other binoculars I have ever used that compared optically my was a Zeiss pair that a friend had. That was 54 years ago and they cost about $550 then. They weighed a ton. Incidentally, Vortex isn't kidding about the warranty. I had a slight problem but they fixed it in short order.

I purchased these binos for archery hunting in Iowa. They have been nothing but impressive with amazing light transmission, clarity, and durability! Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a pair for well priced binos with excellent features. These binoculars are always with me in the field.

I received these binocs as a Christmas gift last year and I am blown away but the quality for the price. When I found out how much they had cost after using them the first time I was amazed. The glass is very clear for this price range. I normally have a hard time using "normal" binoculars but all those issues went away with the adjustments that can be made. I recommended these to anyone looking for a high quality/low price binocs.

I bought these to replace a cheaper brand and even though they are lower magnification I believe that they provide more magnification as I can see things with these that I couldn't with the other brand. Will be buying more Vortex products in the future.

Ive used these for sevral seasons and I alway see what im looking at. Low light is great, ive seen hogs at night and deer in the field early A.M. They are lite and hit adult and children face very good. The extending eye peace is awsome really lets you get settled in. I do wish the right eye focus would lock, somtimes it gets turned pulling out of backpacks at night. All in all they are great really clear and worth more than Vortex is asking.
