I like the way the strap is engineered to go through the pouch. This item is so small that it fits into a pocket or pocketbook. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the outdoors or even in concert hall. You can see features and details that other binoculars would miss and it is so light, less than a pound. 5 stars The following review received 15 helpful votes out of 15 total votes: Review Date: 2007-05-13 "A Great Gift" This was purchased as a gift for a Red Sox fan. Needless to say the binoculars have been to every home game since April. They are easy to operate, the clarity is excellent, and if wearing glasses, there is no problem with scratching.

They are easy to adjust and just what I was looking for so we could use them together. These were recommended by Consumer Reports as a Best Buy and they had compared them to other more expensive models - so I was really pleased that they were very affordable. 5 stars The following review received 12 helpful votes out of 38 total votes: Review Date: 2007-04-23 "Excellent binoc's, but a long wait to get them" The quality of these binoculars is outstanding. I was unable to judge this in my previous review of this product, which was due to frustration over the long wait for them (almost 5 months from the time I ordered). I presume the delay was due to large demand for these particular binoc's, especially after being a top pick in CR Magazine just before the holiday season in December.

Ordered despite significantly inflated price. Received a similar, but more lowly rated item whose list price should have been even lower than the one ordered. It was clearly the old "bait and switch" routine by this store. 1 star | |
