Review on Premium 10X42 Binoculars For Adults: Lightweight, Waterproof & Perfect For Outdoor Adventures! by Travis Carter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Absolutely Amazing for the price.

Ok, these 10x42s are just amazing quality for twenty bucks. They feel like a pro pair of binocs with full rubber housing that feels good as any pair that I've held before. The controls are smooth and again feel as good as any. Everything is well greased and has the proper level of friction. Eye cups twist up for non-glasses wearers, and the right eye focus correction adjustment works well and is properly zeroed when the index mark is set at the middle of the range.There's a tripod mount in the usual place with a plastic screw-on cover, the dust caps work well and are rubbery. The large ones are held captive with rubber rings and are easily removable and rotatable if they get in your way, the eyepiece dust cover has a flexible portion between the two eyes and a strap attachment on the right end so they can remain captive.You get a basic lightly padded case with hook and loop closure and a captive but adjustable carrying strap that's fairly short (extends up to about 15" from the opening in the case) and a separate neck strap for the binoculars themselves which you need to attach yourself. There's also a small cleaning cloth included, and a small booklet with instructions for the strap and basic usage in six languages.The optics are impressively good. Well aligned, focus is sharp, depth of field etc. are just as you would expect, nothing inferior here. The image is sharp across the field of view without obvious chromatic aberration etc. They claim the optics are "fully coated" and they have a light blue tint to them but it's not super strong.They're labeled 10x42 and 303 feet at 1,000 yards. They weigh 625g with the caps on and no strap.Eye relief seems very good, no issues with comfortable viewing. Inter-ocular distance range is about 2 1/4"- 2 7/8".If every pair is this good I will have no qualms recommending these as a first pair of binoculars for anyone. Again, shockingly good value and so cheap you never need to worry about losing or dropping them or letting the kids play with them.All the stars, highly recommended.
