Review on Nikon 7485 PROSTAFF 10x25: Waterproof, All-Terrain Binoculars for Stellar Vision by Jim Chick

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good optics at a reasonable price

These are very good binoculars that meet most of my expectations and needs. The optics are clear and distortion-free from edge to edge, the water resistance is good. They are not fog proof but were kept dry inside during a brief rain on a recent hunt. The only downsides are it's heavier than the Travel Lite model I replaced with these binoculars and the eyecups can be rotated or screwed in place. The weight difference is definitely due to the waterproofing, but the eyecups are nowhere near as comfortable and effective as the soft-moulded eyecups I enjoyed with the Travel Lite. They performed better with side glare and fogging due to cold temperature inhalation. Overall, these binoculars should serve me well as my primary hunting optics. My Travel Lites are still functional after 13 years so I hope they last at least that long.

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Damaged
