Review on Skygenius 8x21 Compact Binoculars for Hiking Gear - Folding Binoculars with Fully Muti-Coated Lens Ideal for Travel & Bird Watching (0.38lb) by Drew Poulin

I bought expensive tickets to the Broadway play Wicked that was touring my city. Unfortunately the seats, while expensive, were only a few rows from the back of the room which meant we were quite a distance from the stage. With this issue in mind, I decided to give these binoculars a try based on the positive reviews, although they weren't as "shiny" and "fancy" as some others with stainless steel, chains, and handles. I wanted something of high quality, if not flashy. I'm glad I trusted the great reviews of these binoculars and bought them. The clarity and zoom were incredible, especially considering the low price I paid for it. While people looked like ants from where I sat, through the binoculars I could see their eyes, their teeth, damn it, even their wrinkles! The clarity was amazing! I have never owned binoculars and although I did borrow one once I was disappointed with the view and was skeptical about this purchase. I'm glad I took the chance and they are light, small and foldable which makes it easy to put them in my purse. I'm going to the UniverSoul Circus in a few weeks and I'm definitely going to take these binoculars with me!
