76% of users liked the water and fogg-resistant feature
The binoculars feel very robust when handled and have weather protection included in their design.
The binoculars have great quality weather protection.
79% praised the high-quality lenses and coating
I have found that the binoculars provide a bright image with excellent sharpness.
I was impressed with the extremely sharp and clear image quality.
The optic is fantastic with a sharp image from edge to center of the lens. The image remains clear even in low light and the wider field of view makes finding the target easier.
The lenses have great quality and capture an enormous amount of light, much more than the human eye.

81% liked the wide field of view
In low light conditions, the binoculars have a clear field of view.
I experienced a very wide, full, and pleasant view through the binocular.
There is a useful scale in degrees when switching between me and my partner.
With 10x magnification, the binoculars bring subjects closer and make distant views quite discernible.

72% appreciated the magnification power
If you go for a large objective lens diameter, you will get a brighter image but they will be bigger and heavier to carry around.
I have noticed that the 10x50 S model binoculars have a 10x magnification and a large objective lens size of 50mm, making them more ideal in lower lighting conditions compared to the 8x40 S model.
I can easily adjust the binoculars' variable magnification from 8x to 16x using a lever located next to the right eye-piece.
With 10x magnification, subjects appear closer and distant views are discernible with good detail.
