Best Price Point!
I was looking for the best price point in a relatively small but big enough to hold roof prism binocular for all around use--travel, hiking, birdwatching, and so on, and these Bushnell "Excursion" 8x28 Compact Roof Prism Binoculars are what I came up with.
Comparing them directly with other similar binos at a local retail store these jumped out at me and said, "Here I Am!". Ok, I over exagerate, but talking is about the only thing these binos don't do, and do well. They have the look and feel of similar styled binoculars costing literally $100's more. Very good optics, very bright, very clear. With 3.5mm Exit Pupils they are relatively easy to align with the pupil of one's eye. Some of the lesser compact binos can be very persnickety in this regard. Twist Out eye cups work great. With 28mm Lens and "Fully" multicoated as well they are much brighter than one might think under low light conditions. That they also have "PC-3" phase coating and Bak-4 Prisms simply puts these binoculars over the top. Binoculars with these features for less than $100 is simply amazing.
Other features include a very nice neck strap. Actually has some width and padding to it. It also has quick release fasteners that make it very easy to take the strap off the binos if you want to. You will not need to get a nicer strap so that you are comfortable as is the case with many other binos. Both the Ocular lens "Raingard" cover and the Objective Lens covers are tethered to the binos. Very slick. The focusing wheel is large and very responsive. With 15mm eye relief they should work with most glasses or without with a simple twist of the eye cups. They feel secure in their extended non-eyeglass position. Something that cannot be said for some of the push up style eye cups that tend to collapse. The binos also come with a semi-hard case that is very nice, imo. It is divided and has room for a notepad and pencil and cleaning supplies. Very, very nice, imo.
These should make a great pair of easy to carry binos that one can take just about anywhere for just about any purpose and look good doing it. Did I mention they are both Waterproof and Fogproof--O-Ring Seals and Nitrogen Purging...
As an aside. Not that it proves anything, but, Bushnell is the largest Optics company in the world. In fact, Bushnell has the largest market share in "all" of the sports optics categories.
In my opinion, after quite a lot of research online and hands on at my local Bass Pro, for the money the Bushnell "Excursion" line of binoculars simply cannot be matched, let alone beat.. Lifetime Warranty.
