While this may not be as good as my Brunton Echo (despite the fact this this is 10X and my Brunton is only 7X), it's still a fine monocular, especially for the price. It seems to be quite sturdy, but I'd avoid dropping or smacking it into anything all the same. The only thing I found odd was that they decided to put the focus on the eyepiece instead of the end of the device. If you wear glasses this means you will likely smudge the lenses when focusing due to your fingers rubbing against the them. The entire monocular is covered in rubber, not counting the small piece of plastic that holds the neck strap on (which happens to come pre-attached, by the way). They also come with a relatively well made looking nylon case. Overall, for the price, these are a fine choice for those that don't want to lug around bulky binoculars yet still want to be able to see far away objects. You could do a lot worse.

Ordered this for my husband to take to Afghanistan with him. Hes a soldier, they carry a lot of stuff everywhere they go anyway, so he needed something lightwaight, small, and worth taking with him. This did the trick, it Magnifies ALMOST as good as my dads expensive hunting bi-noculars, but a fraction of the size and waight. Easy to use, easy to carry, easy to put back in your pocket if youre in a hurry

It works as advertised. Although it's not for "night vision", the lens is big enough to work when there's poor light. I like the rubber coating. It seems very durable. Occasionally I need to read house numbers set back from the road and this beats having to carry bulky pair of binoculars, or getting out of the car, especially in winter. The nylon carrying case is is strong with a velcro flap and loop to wear on a belt.
