Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Tasco Offshore binoculars series has gained a reputation over the years as being among the finest marine binoculars on the market. Quality BaK-4 prisms deliver an extremely bright, clear picture -- a critical feature to have when you're scanning for navigational markers, other boats or feeding fish. Dry-nitrogen purged and sealed with o-rings, Offshore binoculars are completely waterproof in both saltwater and freshwater, making them ready for practically any boating or water sport situation.

An outstanding choice for boating, Tasco's OS36 Offshore 7 x 50 binoculars feature an internal illuminated compass and rangefinder and illuminated red compass. The ergonomic, porro prism design of the binoculars feature a rubber, no-slip grip section, making them comfortable to grip and easier to hold on to than other binoculars, should the weather get rough. With a steady 7x magnification and large 50 millimeter objective lenses -- the most common size for marine applications -- the OS36 Binoculars offer excellent resolution and detail even in low light. To round out these outstanding features, the OS36s also feature a tripod adapter fitting, carrying pouch and strap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great binoculars for boaters, December 20, 2008

Although Amazon does not say which model these are, they are the OS36 with the built in lighted compass and rangefinder. It is very easy to get a compass bearing while looking through the binoculars and the 50mm field of view is especially useful at night. They are auto focus which do not require manual focusing. Comparable binoculars are at least double the price elsewhere.

This review is from: Tasco OS36 Off Shore 7x50 Binoculars (Electronics)

A family friend - himself a relatively accomplished skipper - had brilliant Steiner 7x50mm binoculars, which I always adored, but could never afford. I've been fortunate enough to come into possessing these Tasco OffShore 36 binoculars, as a gift for a job well done, and I feel that envy subside. For weeks, now, they've served me well. The compass is as accurate as any in my collection, and calculating distance is now a breeze with or without the use of the built-in slip-ring scale. Optics are bright and clear, in all weather, faring well in my own informal PVT test (rough distance with a modest photocopy of the chart). The compass and reticle are easy to read. The objective lens caps are connected to the center pivot, making them hard to lose. About the only thing I wasn't wild about, was the big rubber rear boot that rarely stays in place. I aim to replace it with individual caps, when the opportunity presents itself. But that's hardly a deal breaker. In all, it's the best set of optics I've owned, and I would recommend it to most people. In my experiences, my Tasco OffShore 36 binoculars compare favorably to binoculars costing twice as much. Even if they weren't a gift, I would pay the asking price, knowing I'm getting a great deal.
