Awesome Clarity

Rating:*****
Great clarity even in low light situations. Took them to Friday night football games, and everyone who tried them, liked them. Not too big and bulky, yet not too small. Some object shake at distances. Great binocular for the money!

Reviews are right

These are a Christmas gift, so they are yet to be time tested. I have used enough to confirm the product is well constructed and meets my expectations for simple use and good mid-range quality.
