Comments about Brunton Echo Porro Prism Waterproof 10 x 50 Full-Size Binoculars:
If you are looking for good, general, entry-level binoculars, this is the pair for you.
I bought these binoculars for my year living in Africa. I preferred them to the Nikon Trailblazers in viewing and how they fit in my hand. They were especially good for use with glasses. Although, I wish the eye pieces locked in the out position.
After a year of being beat up in a truck in the bush, they are still working great. They have been through extreme heat, dust, water, and major jostling without a problem. They were excellent for wildlife viewing. I would also recommend them for bird watching - although I tend to prefer a smaller field of view for birds. Really great, all-around, general binoculars.
After more than a year, I have not had any construction issues. I found the lens quality superior to my entry-level Alpen 10x42 and similar to the Nikon Trailblazer. I found them more comfortable than the Nikons and given the price, they have been a great deal.

Comments about Brunton Echo Porro Prism Waterproof 10 x 50 Full-Size Binoculars:
The glasses were for Arctic and Sub-Arctic birding, and marine and land mammal watching, but they broke before I could use them the first time. While still in their case, they slid off the hood of my rental SUV and landed at an angle, breaking the forward barrel from the assembly and instantly rendering the glasses useless. My fault for not securing the glasses better, but the distance of drop -- +/- 3.5 ft. -- in a protective case, should have mitigated such catastrophic failure. This is not my first Brunton product. The other is a monoscope of decidedly inferior quality, too, and has been relegated to a door knob for occasional backyard viewing. I replaced the binoculars with a ruggedized pair of Nikon 8X40 lenses at a cost of $25 above the [...] price; proof, for me, that 'best value' is more often found in a reputable brand name.
