Product description
The pair you actually take with you
Full-size binoculars often stay at home because they are too big for a day out. A compact 10x25 slips into a jacket pocket, so it comes along on a coastal walk, a city break, a football match or a concert. Ten times magnification brings the far side of a harbour, the players on the pitch or the band on stage much closer.
The focus wheel is marked with a field of view of 112 m at 1,000 m, so at 100 metres you see a strip about 11 metres wide.
Know the limits of small lenses
The 25 mm lenses give an exit pupil of 2.5 mm. In daylight that is close to the size of your own pupil and the view looks bright. In the last hour of daylight, under a dense canopy or at night, a full-size pair shows more. If you go out at dawn and dusk, look at the 8x42 instead. Compact or full-size binoculars? compares the two in detail.
At 10x in a small, light body, hand shake is noticeable. Hold the binoculars with both hands, rest your thumbs under the eyepieces and tuck your elbows in.
For children
Light binoculars are a good first pair for older children. Check that the eyepieces can be brought close enough together for their eyes, and show them how to focus with the central wheel. Teach them never to look at the Sun.

Questions about this product
Do these compact binoculars come with a case?
The supplier lists the binoculars only in the package contents, so please do not count on a case or a strap.
Are 10x25 binoculars good for birdwatching?
In good light and for birds that are not too far away, yes. In woodland, in poor light and at dusk, a full-size 8x42 or 10x42 shows a brighter image.
Are these binoculars waterproof?
The supplier gives no waterproof rating, so keep them out of heavy rain and dry them if they get wet.
