      Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Binoculars:

      Good small form factor bins at a reasonable price point are very hard to find. These are o-ringed and nitrogen purged, and water/dust resistant. I plan on using them when we can't pack our good bins due to space or risky travel. Good long eye relief, I can use them with my glasses on. Come with top/bottom lens covers and rugged cordura case. Sticky central focus, but otherwise rugged. Good daypack bins; not substitute for good 8x42 for serious viewing.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Binoculars:

        My wife bought a pair of these last year, and having broke mine I borrowed hers for a weekend of hunting. I've used and owned a lot of binoculars, but this pair I found fantastic for the money. Particularly impressive is the quality of the lenses. Most of the time in this price range you don't find a set of lenses that match, so you always have the perception that you're looking thru two separate tubes. Not so with these. Images were crisp, clear, and balanced. Once dialed in you get a great image down to within 2-3 yards of where you stand. The 8 power gives a great field of view with ample light when in the woods. Very light and did not cause any neck strain.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          • Tracking lost dog

          Comments about REI XR 8 x 25 Binoculars:

          I bought these as a gift for my dad for backpacking trips, but ended up using them ourselves to track our lost dog through the fields in countryside after he escaped from the dog sitter. I'm not too familiar with the world of binoculars, but these were light, sturdy, easy to adjust, and bright and clear enough to follow a small red dog through a brown grassy field at 1/4 mile or more.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
