Waiting on a pair to arrive. Figured I’d share the link. I intend to use them for hunting, general use, and maybe < 50 meter paper target practice when I don’t have a spotting scope with me. Had a set of cheap entry-level Vortex Raptors and returned them. I figured I’d try these because they had decent reviews. The shockproof feature is attractive. Plus the Vortex warranty is hard to beat. 
 
These really turned out to be a very good pair of binos. Good eye box, bright and clear glass, good build quality, with quality accessories (neck strap, carrying case, and lens covers. They focus well and easy. Used them to spot some crows in the tree-line today @ 100+ yrds. The only thing I don’t like are the plastic adjustable ocular lenses. It feels cheap and I’m unsure how effective they’ll be at keeping water out.
