            Comments about Nikon Trailblazer ATB Waterproof 8 x 25 Binoculars:

            This model employs very bright, clear lenses with a wide field of view. The viewing experience is comparable to very expensive models. It is a pleasure to use these binocs even for an extended period. This model is not as light as similar models in the same price range, yet still not very heavy. An ideal choice for modestly priced compact binoculars.

            My only complaint is that the focusing knob has considerable play, making precise focusing more challenging.

            Comments about Nikon Trailblazer ATB Waterproof 8 x 25 Binoculars:

            If you want to see like NASA in the wild you want these specks. I thought all specks were the same, foggy no focus but with these I am so wrong. These specks fit your eyes perfectly...it's like your vision with a thought as been magnified even in rain and fog. The waterproof rating is right on. I've dunked mine in 50F water and spotted wildlife in Utah during summer downpours.
            They are so light around my neck I don't even notice them. They have no bounce of the chest in fact they stick like glue to your chest when hiking and unlike all my other specks I rarely take them off cause they are that comfortable and light weight. For how powerful they are I still cant believe how small and compact they are. They are great for bird/wildlife watching, concerts and sporting events, ultralight hikers who still want vision, and you don't even need to spend your rent! What a steal!!!

            Too Much Play in the Center Focus

              Comments about Nikon Trailblazer ATB Waterproof 8 x 25 Binoculars:

              I love the whole concept of lightweight binoculars and especially for my intended purpose, which is scouting in Alaska backcountry: that is, as we travel on foot, visually scouting ahead for brown bears in order to avoid approaching too close to them. From a distance it might be difficult to tell between a smaller, safe creature and one that can and will kill and/or eat you. Also, with binoculars a person can better see if the bear is a mama with cubs occasionally in cover or a bear feeding on a carcass, both creatures posing additional danger. The Nikon Trailblazer fits the bill for such a defensive tool, however the serious play in the center focus is an unacceptable problem. I have read other online comments that suggest the play is a design defect. Therefore, I will be returning the Nikon set and checking out Pentax or Steiner that have binoculars similar in weight and magnification, but come at a somewhat higher price.
