We bought these binoculars to leave in a rental for our guests. The problem with most binoculars, even the so-called rubber-clad ones, is that the first time they are dropped or knocked hard, they get misaligned - so when you look through them, you get two images that can't be merged! In other words, they are useless.

This is the first set of binoculars which has survived a year of use - and with luck, will survive more years of use. We believe this is due to the very thick rubber cladding which protects them. They take getting used to - all focussing is at the eyepieces, there is no center wheel. That design feature may in fact contribute to their durability.

I like it. It's clear and magnifies well. Good for a single user. For multible users it takes adjusting each eye individually each time, which if you are not patient can be a problem. Good for the price for single user.

These are just as described . The clarity and distance is impressive for their modest price.

These are heavy, really heavy (that's why I gave only 4 stars)

In the rest all other reviewers are right: good optics, rugged design, waterproof, adjustable for each eye.

Don't be scared by the color. You are supposed to look THROUGH binoculars, not AT them :)
