I have twin 9-year-olds (1 boy 1 girl) and both are in scouts and other after-school activities. That being said it makes for endless Amazon shopping. The boy and girl scout packs they are in are VERY busy with outdoor activities. I had 2 pairs of binoculars and my son and I took them on a recent trip and I had no idea how big of pieces of junk they were. We borrowed a pair from another family and it was an amazing difference. Enough so that soon as we got back from our trip i decided to buy a new pair/pairs. The pair we borrowed did not have a brand name so i wasn't going to be able to get teh same brand but as always go onto amazon and look at some reviews and go from there. I decided to go with the Aurosports because checking the reviews and for under $30 it was a no brainer. We have taken theres on a couple outdoor activities now and they are SOOOOO much better than the ones we had from Big5.
The good: 1. The price can't be beat 2. They are super compact 3. The carrying case fit properly and its easy to get them in and out, plus it has a loop on the back so it is easy to attach to a backpack (that's what we did) 4. The clarity is 100x better than the ones i got from big5. 5. The brightness is 10x that of my older set!!! This almost seems more important than the clarity. At dusk my old sets are useless and these still held strong. 6. They are proved durable. My 3 year old dropped them several times at the zoo and they are still perfect. 7. They are easy to focus even for my 9 year old daughter
Other notes: They have a nice textured grip A cleaning cloth is included Lens caps are included for the eyepiece side For lightweight camping/scouting you cant beast this pair. They are amazing!!!
Negative notes: NONE, there is nothing I can say bad about these. They havnt clouded up or failed in any way!
Bought these for my Daughters Girl Scout Camping trips
