Excellent compact binocular
By Jerry G
This binocular by Steiner is top notch it is phase coated bak 4 these they have a wide field of view and are waterproof and solid well made the optics on these are bright and clear looking through them is as good as a 8x42 binocular without the weight,I looked through a lot of regular binoculars and other compact binoculars however these gave me the best view in clarity for a compact they are smaller than regular size but the optical performance is the same or better,this is a great binocular when traveling or hiking,rafting,bird watching etc.Steiner did a excellent job making these I highly recommend these binoculars.

Steiner 8.5x26
By Bjorn Eide
Not bad. Works perfect while wearing glasses. Front rubber protector is PIA to put back on. Nothing much else to say.

great binocs, crappy lens covers
By J. McLeod
The binocs are great. Crystal clear. But for the money, I think the lens covers should of been better. Very poor design. Front covers are so tight I can barely get them on. Rear covers just the opposite. Super loose.

Nice pair of eyes
By Curtis D. Botner
Purchased these to take on my trip to africa in 2010 (after doing a lot of research).I wanted binoculars that would allow me to observe wildlife from afar and to do so at a level where I didn't have to compromise what I was looking at and these glasses did that. I also wanted glasses that were compact in size and built to take a very 'knock about' use and again, these glasses did that.I had high expectations for these binoculars and I was not let down.To me, these glasses have been 'field tested' and they have passed the test!

Tough little binoculars - useful, versatile and optically sharp
By Grant A Thompson
I own five pairs of binoculars, my two favourites of which are both Steiners: the 10.5x28 Steiner Wildlife Pro Binocular and 10x42 Hunting (similar to Steiner Police Series Binocular - Choose Size).The 10.5x28 Steiner Wildlife Pro Binocular is surely among the most useful all-round choices among binoculars. Its most desirable attributes include:* High magnification and sharp optics. 10.5x power gives a field of view about two feet at a distance of 30 feet, or manufacturer specification of 264 feet at 1,000 yards (5 degree angle of acceptance). This is excellent for a range of uses from birdwatching, wildlife spotting, through sports and general sightseeing. There is no noticeable chromatic aberration or fringeing, or image edge fuzziness noted on some cheaper makes. The 28mm objective lenses gather ample light in daylight hours.* Compact size due to folding roof prism design. Because they are compact, these are the binoculars most convenient to have with you most of the time. They fit into large pockets, or they are easily slipped into camera bags, day packs or briefcases without crowding out other essentials.* Moderate weight. With strap, eye-piece cover and objective lens cover, all-up weight is 14.5 ounces (411g). They are solidly constructed of quality optical glass and alloys, with rubber coated body for shock protection.* Fast focusing. Once any difference between your eyes is set with plus or minus 5 diopter adjustment on the left eyepiece, the center-focusing wheel is super fast from about eight-and-a-half feet to infinity.About the only downside of the 10.5x28 Steiner Wildlife Pro Binocular is that its compactness inevitably is a trade-off against its performance in low light. If you are planning to spend a lot of time looking for wildlife, or anything else in low light, you need one of the Steiners with bigger objective lenses and better light-gathering capability - or even an image-intensifier night vision device. Nevertheless, these tough little binoculars are so useful and versatile that they will never be surplus to requirements for most binocular users.

Outstanding binoculars!
By Yaucano
This are great compact easy to carry binocular, it came with a very comfortable strap, the magnification were perfect for this size and the image was very clear. I was impress. The price is mid range compare to others, I bought also 15 dollars celestron 10x25 (is also a well know brand) with almost the same spec for comparison. The celetron were good in quality material and image but a very cheap strap, and the price make them a best buy. But the steiner were excellent in solid quality material and depth and clarity image. My take is this if you have the money buy the steiner(excellent optic)and they would last you a lifetime, if not buy the celestron and you wouldn't be too disappointed.

Great, lightweight binocular
By Joseph
Great, lightweight binoc with excellent optics. Have used for backpacking & hiking with excellent results and very little space or weight taken up in the pack. Tough construction and easy to use and adjust to your eyes with or without eyeglasses. Hard to find waterproof binocs of this quality, price and mnimal weight. These fit the bill exactly and a good focal range at 8X25 for backyard birdwatching or long distance quality viewing of wildlife in the mountains.

Excellent binoculars for Afrcian Safari
By Kathy Johnson
These were my sole binoculars for a month in Africa. They are light weight enough to hold positioned for a prolonged timeand to hang around your neck for a day in the field. They have great optics. I dropped them a couple of times on the metal floor of the vehicle and on the ground and they were unaffected. The focus was not affected but the ever-present dust. I am very pleased with these binoculars.

great product
By Geedee
I love these binoculars. They are sharp, easy to focus and light to carry. I took them on a recent trip and used them both for wildlife viewing and for a concert. Good low light viewing. I bought another pair for a gift.
