Description:
The world's 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. Unlike similarly priced binos, the internals are O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged for 100% waterproof/fogproof protection. The tough, rubber armor keeps them protected at the bottom of your pack or rattling around in any glove box. With BaK-4 roof prisms and multi-coated amber optics, Trophy binoculars are over-achievers when it comes to gathering enough light to deliver edge-to-edge crisp, bright images. And they offer nothing short of Bushnell quality construction with user-friendly features like twist-up eyecups, large center focus knobs (great for gloves) and all the popular magnifications.

I bought the binoculars for my wife to use at basketball games. They serve that purpose quite well once you have them focused. Therein lies the problem. The focus knob is so stiff that you can't focus without taking them from your eyes and use two hands, one to hold the binocular and the other to clamp and twist the focus knob.
I would purchase an alternate if I were to do it over.

These binoculars are an excellent value for the features they have such as the O-ring waterproof seals, nitrogen purged fogproof protection, multicoated lenses, Bak-4 prisms, rubber armoring, etc. The images you see when viewing are crisp, clear and bright. However, they are just a bit too large to be considered compact yet they are not large enough to be full sized. The focusing knob does not rotate as easily as would be expected as it requires a little effort to operate. Being a bit too large and the focusing knob issue are my reasons for not rating this item as 5 stars.

I own several types and sizes of binoculars and this pair is the one I will use from now on while hunting. A great value in a small, light package with excellent optics.
