Review Trophy 10 x 27 mm Waterproof Compact Binocular / Bushnell:The worldÕs most beautiful places are often the wildest. Enter the Trophy series, your versatile choice for hunting, birding, hiking, fishing or any outdoor activity where the day can come complete with a bruise or two.

- Model: Brunton Epoch Full Size Binocular 8.5 X 43 Camo pattern
Review Brunton Epoch Full Size Binocular 8.5 X 43 Camo pattern / Brunton F-X85-CAMO-M:It began several years ago with a goal to build the best binocular. Take on conventional optics companies and give them something to chase. We searched the world for the highest grade, most advanced glass available and in doing so, became the only manufacturer to use SF glass in a binocular. To protect that vital investment, we engineered a magnesium alloy frame so durable it can withstand our most rigorous tests. Perhaps the most unique development though, is the Variable Speed Focus System. This ingenious feature makes other focus wheels feel inferior. Acquire targets from 30 feet out to infinity with a minimal turn of the focus wheel and be shocked by the near focus of just 36 inches. Those building blocks, along with a multitude of other innovations, have taken the Epoch to the pinnacle of optical design and engineering. Recipient of a host of honors-including Target magazine's "Editor's Choice Award" and Field & Stream's "Gear of the Year" award-the Epoch Full-Size binocular ushers in a new era of optics. The camo-colored 8. [+]
5x-power Epoch Full-Size is equipped with 43mm objective lenses made of SF prism glass, the highest grade of glass available. Brunton also fitted the lenses in a magnesium alloy frame so durable that it can withstand the most rigorous tests imaginable. Perhaps the most unique development, however, is Brunton's Variable Speed Focus System, which makes all other focus wheels seem inferior. The binocular acquires targets from 30 feet out to infinity with only a minimal turn of the focus wheel, and can adjust to objects a mere 36 inches away for a close-in look. These building blocks, combined with a multitude of other innovations, have taken the Epoch Full-Size to the pinnacle of optical design and engineering. And thanks to the camo color scheme, the binoculars are great for everything from hunting to hiking. Specifications include a locking, 19. 5mm multi-step eye relief system that's eyeglass compatible, a 315-foot field of view at 1,000 yards, and a 5. 1mm exit pupil. The list of coatings is nearly as impressive, with state-of-the-art phase coating, a FlatLight full multi-coating, an anti-fog lens coating, and an AL-HR reflective coating all contributing to the crisp resolution. And users who want a bit more bang for their back can add an X2 Epoch field scope (sold separately), which turns the Full-Size into a 17x binocular. Additional features include a diopter adjustment mechanism that locks in so your vision is always crisp, a tripod adapter, a comfortable neck strap, and a soft leather case for carrying. The Epoch Full-Size measures 5. 8 by 5 by 2 inches (W x H x D), weighs roughly 25 ounces, and is backed by a Halo lifetime warranty (you drop or break the Full-Size, and Brunton fixes or replaces it). What's in the Box? Epoch Full-Size binocular, tripod adapter, leather soft case and holster, neck strap, removable OptiVisor lens covers, user's manual. |

Review Bower B0622r Opera Glasses - Red and Gold / Bower:It seemed that the stylish seats were always at the rear and sides of the theater. Then, of course, the more reasonably priced seats are further up. At any rate, rich or poor, opera glasses are the rage among theater-going audiences. |

- Model: Brunton Epoch Compact Binocular 10X21
Review Brunton Epoch Compact Binocular 10X21 / Brunton F-XC10:The Compact shares many of the features of the Full Size, yet offers the benefits of a smaller, more manageable binocular. A sleek, durable structure, the Compact exudes confidence by looks alone. Truth is, the arrogance is warranted. Optically, there is no comparison to the Epoch Compact. As a member of the Epoch family, the Compact employs the highest-grade glass of any binocular: premium SF prism glass. Building upon that kind of precision, the Compact is processed with state-of-the-art coatings to make images pop and allow for true, vibrant color transmission. If size or weight dictates your binocular choice, look no further than the dynamic, pocket-sized Compact. It wears the Epoch name for a reason. See for yourself. The Epoch Compact shares many of the same features as Brunton's Full-Size line of binoculars, yet is much smaller and more manageable. [+]
Sleek and durable, the 10x-power Compact exudes confidence by looks alone, with a streamlined alloy frame and ergonomic body armor. Looks are just part of the picture, however, as the binocular is also optically superior, with 21mm objective lenses made of SF prism glass, the highest-grade glass of any binocular. Building upon that kind of precision, the Compact is processed with state-of-the-art coatings-including an AL-HR reflective coating, a FlatLight full multi-coating, and an anti-fog lens coating-to make images pop and allow for true, vibrant color transmission. If size or weight dictates your binocular choice, look no further than the dynamic, pocket-sized Compact. Other details include a locking, 15mm multi-step eye relief system; a locking diopter adjustment mechanism; a waterproof, nitrogen-filled housing; a 314-foot field of view at 1,000 yards; a 9-foot close-focus range; and a 2. 5mm exit pupil. The Compact measures 4. 3 by 4. 8 by 1. 5 inches (W x H x D), weighs 13. 5 ounces, and is backed by a Halo lifetime warranty (you drop or break the Compact and Brunton fixes or replaces it). What's in the Box? Binocular, neck strap, removable OptiVisor lens covers, leather soft case, user's manual. |
