Product Description

The new Magellan WP I series of binoculars is a high-performance, compact, easy-to-use, water-proof, fog-proof, and dirt-proof line built for relentless visual performance in severe outdoor conditions.

The Magellan WP I series of binoculars offer superior eye protection with Olympus special optical materials used to reduce the transmission of harmful UV rays. A built-in dioptric correction that adjusts to each user's individual eyesight ensures that viewers will always see action clearly. The Magellan WP I binoculars offer long eye relief, which refers to the maximum distance from the eyepiece lens at which the entire image can be seen. The high number ensures that users will be able to see the entire image through the binoculars even with glasses on. The Magellan WP I binoculars are extremely compact in size, yet durable enough to withstand the elements and the needs of mountain-climbers and water-sport enthusiasts alike. The WP I series are lighter, smaller, and therefore easier to carry than the original Magellan EXWP I series, making them ideal for mountaineering, kayaking, and other outdoor activities where gear must be kept to a minimum.The new Magellan WP I series are fully water-proof to a depth of one meter, perfect for use during any outdoor, on-water endeavors. The binoculars' hermetically sealed and nitrogen gas-filled lens system assures waterproof, fog-proof and dirt-proof performance under extreme weather conditions, and prevents mold from growing during long-term storage.

I have used and wasted alot of money on different compact binoculars like some of you have already. These have the clearest, brightest view of any of them. Time will only tell the long time sturdyness of them, but they appear to be very sturdy and well made. There easy to handle and adjust. Thumbs up for these binoculars

5.0 out of 5 stars Best ones I've owned, June 13, 2007

By	C. Brown (Bradbury Heights, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had season tickets to theater and sporting events for over a decade and these are the best (of approximately 4 sets) binoculars I've had (of the same size). They are twice as expensive as some of the others - so I would expect some improvement. However, I cannot address the durability issue yet, and this was a major concern with two of my previous sets of binoculars. I keep them in my car and they seem to get permanently damaged from the car movement after a few years.
