Review on Sightron SIIBL832 8x32 Binocular (Green) - Enhanced Clarity and Durability by Judy King

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great binoculars for eyeglass wearers

As mentioned these are amazing binoculars for the price. The main reason I bought them is the large eye relief. These are the only 8x32 binoculars I've tried that I can comfortably wear with my glasses. I use them for bird watching. They have a bright and clear look, are light and, thanks to the split bridge, are very comfortable to hold. Focus is smooth and the eyecups are comfortable, having four stops instead of the usual two for this price range. The field of view is excellent. At the same time I bought a Vortex Diamondback 8x32 to try out. I really couldn't tell any difference in image quality or field of view. However, due to the limited eye relief, I sent the Vortex back, I see accessories as cheap. The eyepiece cap does not fit well and keeps falling off. The lens caps stay in place but do not attach to the binoculars. The case is acceptable, but nothing special. Sightron doesn't advertise them as HD, but they're on par with other HD binoculars I've used. I suspect they correspond to HD reports. Some reviews rate the optics as better than the Diamondbacks. I definitely recommend them if you wear glasses or just want great binoculars. You may need to upgrade some accessories.

Pros
  • Fits many people
Cons
