Description: | Waterproof. These binoculars are very easy to focus, even without glasses for someone with very weak vision like me -- there is much more focus range in these binoculars than in any other I have ever tested or owned (with a left eye at -6.5 diopters and a right eye at -4.0, I find it impossible to focus many other highly-rated and more expensive binoculars at infinity without my glasses on). Compact and light, great binoculars for hiking/canoeing/cycling (waterproofing a bonus for wet weather), though a bit dim for star-gazing due to small 3.1 exit pupil. Not the greatest for glasses-on viewing, due to small exit pupil and relatively small-diameter eyepiece, you lose a bit of the field with glasses on. Very sharp, clean image in the centre, becoming softer near the edge of the field.
