I bought these binoculars as a gift for my husband. He is a professional birdwatcher and is often outside all day in all weather conditions. These binoculars are his new favorite!

Only had it for a short time, but already very much enjoyed watching all the birds in the garden and in the country that I look out over from the living room.
