Nikon PROSTAFF 10X25 Compact Binocular ATB (All-Terrain Binocular) | Waterproof, Fogproof, Long Eye Relief, Rubber Armored Coating, Mutlilayer-coated lenses | Official Nikon USA Model

These binoculars are not the best in comparison to others that are more expensive. However, for the size, weight, waterproof, fogproof and function I recommend the Prostaff ATB ! I enjoy hiking in almost all weather conditions and that means that I must bring water and proper layer clothing in my small pack. I have enough weight to worry about and having heavy binoculars was not for me. I didn't want to sacrifice reliability just to have less weight, because I needed a waterproof binocular that wouldn't fill up with water during rain or snow. I love these binoculars- they are perfect for me and I don't feel their weight when I bring them; it fits in my cargo pant pockets! When I traveled into other states, I brought them with me along with my camera. I attached the case to the camera bag and walked all over the city and parks without them getting in the way. Over one year later, so far I've not had a problem with the binocular itself except witht the lens cap. The lens cap is cheap, but that is all- the binoculars themselves are of good quality. I strongly recommend this paticular brand or model, if you're looking for something that is reliable and not highly expensive. For the price and function they work more than just fine, just take care of them.

Nikon knows what they're doing. Save yourself some frustration and don't even consider those cheaper brands. If you've used those in the past, you need to just look through a set of Nikons, or another good brand, to know what you've been missing out on. The picture is crystal clear from edge to edge. These are a good balance between lightweight and larger objective lenses. For those who don't know, the larger the objective lenses, the more light will be gathered. You'll get crisper images, and MUCH better low-light visibility. (You'll be able to see things through these at early dawn or late dusk, when it's too dark to see with the naked eye.) These are also very good for use with glasses. I need to wear glasses and it's sometimes hard to find binoculars that work well being farther from your peepers, but these handle it perfectly.

These are a very good binoculars that meets most of my expectations and needs. The optics are clear and distortion free edge to edge, and the waterproof feature is a good one. They are not fog proof, but they did stay dry on the inside during a brief shower on a recent hunt. The only negatives are the heavier weight than the Travel Lite model I replaced with this pair of binoculars, and the eye cups that rotate or screw in and out. The weight difference is most certainly from the waterproofing, but the eyecups are not nearly as user friendly or effective as the soft moulded eyecups I enjoyed on the Travel Lite model. Those did a better job of keeping down side glare and fogging due to breathing in cold temperatures. Overall, though, these binoculars should serve me well as my primary hunting optics. My Travel Lites are still functional after some 13 years, so I am hopeful these will last at least as long.

This is my second one. My first got dropped by a clumsy crew member. But it’s hard to find a small set with this quality for the price. I’ve taken it with me hiking, on the boat and even to Maui HI. To see whales from my hotel room. I am pleased with this compact little binoculars. If you try them, I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. Captain L.G. Phillips

Terrific Binoculars!! These are exceptionally clear and bright for binoculars in this price range. Focusing is easy and fast and the close focus feature is great for bird watching. This is the most useful size I have found and I much prefer this size to the smaller glasses. I carry these when deer and turkey hunting and I think they are the best all around size for carrying in a pack or turkey vest. These are clearer and brighter than a similar pair of low end Steiner binoculars that actually broke internally after a few years of light use. The only negative is that these binoculars require some getting used to in regard to finding objects to be viewed. There is something slightly different about the way these glasses "point" when you are trying to locate objects. I have some larger Nikon 10x42 ATB glasses which don't have this quirk so it is not a Nikon thing. It could be the slightly different shape these binocs have but they are definitely different. This has not been a problem and I would buy them again but something I thought I should point out. Overall I highly recommend these binoculars.

Packaging of item had been opened. Returned.

This is my first (disregarding childhood cheapo ones) binoc and I am impressed with it. I am not a pro and wanted a good quality binocs for casual family outings. I did a lot of research before deciding on this. Optical quality, weather proof construction, light weight and the price out-weigh the low light advantage that other bigger/heavier models offer, especially if you are looking for a casual family use. Optical quality is very good and I definitely recommend this binocular. [...]

Lightweight and clear. Easy to hold and use for a long time.

Very good
