These are as good as it gets for $300.00. You can look at all the expensive binoculars you want and I do challenge you to do so. You will plainly see what a excellent piece of equipment you have up against your eyes. It is nice to know you can buy high dollar binoculars for such a cheep price. Nikon can go up against all the $1500.00 glasses and I promise you the only difference you will see is the money left in your pocket. They are made rugged and to take abuse and they also are waterproof. The clarity is beyond comparison which comes in handy when you are looking at long ranges. I am not selling you this product I am just telling one outdoorsmen to another what you will gain when you get a pair of these.
