Finally - Binoculars that WORK!
By NeuronalContortionist
I've grown up in a family populated by bird & wildlife lovers. Over the past decade, I've really developed an interest in bird-watching. 6 months ago, I moved to a wonderful new home situated on a decently sized pond. For only being approx football-field-sized, it has a tremendous variety of waterfowl. From September (moved-in) until Christmas, I couldn't see any of the birds well enough to clearly identify them.For Christmas, My parents gave me a pair of the Nikon Trailblazer 10x25 ATB (#8218) binoculars. I couldn't be more thilled! Over my 34 years of life, I have tried pair after pair of binoculars handed to me by family eager for me to share in seeing what they saw. I never could (1)hold the binoculars steady enough, (2)get the binoculars accurately focused, or (3)see through them with my glasses. This Nikon pair which I've now owned 3 months has been perfect.The binoculars' lightness allows me to hold them perfectly stable. (Despite more than adequate strength, I struggle with coordination & its maintenance).I can focus the binoculars and see things with astounding detail & clarity. I was able to focus these binoculars and see clearly the first time I used them. The pair's lightness also makes it very easy to change focus quickly to maintain clarity while still maintaining view of a bird as the bird changes location.My glasses are no hindrance. The adustable eyecaps on the binoculars also allow my family to use them. My parents own several quality pair themselves but also find these far superior in sharpness and usability.I haven't tested the water-proof feature of this pair yet and so cannot comment on that. I've had no problem whatsoever with the workmanship of the binoculars. Unlike a previous reviewer, I've found the eyepieces to remain tight & in place and the caps to fit snugly but not too tightly.To sum up, this pair of Nikon 10x25 binoculars has given me the ability to see birds with astounding clarity & detail - an ability I have lacked until now despite trying MANY pair of binoculars in the past. I am completely impressed with the quality of workmanship and am absolutely grateful for this gift!

Great nice toy for travelling
By Ashwini Aragam
After hours of research, I decided to go for this binoculars. I was particular about the binos being weather-proof. We had some bats making their home in our attic and I had to find out where they would get in during sunset. So I had to have a bino! I didn't want a particularly full-size one due to their heaviness, or so I thought. I was keen on at least 10x magnification. All this lead to the Nikon ATB weatherproof, fogproof Trailblazer 10x25.I was amazed at the size of it when it arrived. I didn't visualize the size when I ordered it. When you order one online, don't forget check out its measurements, as it is the closest thing to actually feeling it or seeing it. The trailblazer felt so light, that I didn't feel good about it. I felt I preferred a slightly heavier one.The clarity was excellent. I am not big critic of binoculars. My use is very limited, at least so far. My 60mm Meade telescope obviously gets better clarity and distant viewing, but given the trailblazer's size, what you see is amazing. They will make an ideal companion to take along on a tour without adding any weight. They, in fact, can easily fit into your pockets, even with their carry bag on!Size, clarity and weight - I give top marks for the money I spent. However, I felt I needed something slightly bigger and heavier.The construction is fine for most part. The lens caps on the eye-relief fit too smugly. While pulling them out, be careful not to use too much force or you could yank out the eye reliefs. The eye reliefs, themselves, are a plus as many with glasses will benefit from these.Overall, I can't complain too much given the ninety dollars I paid for these. At these price ranges, you won't find a perfect one, there will be something or the other that you can find fault with. I am sure I will use these binoculars for a long time, though.Nikon has a 25 year warranty, that I read is excellent. They don't ask questions if they need to replace, which is another plus.

I purchased my Nikon Trailblazer for archery hunting. They are easy to adjust, very clear, compact, waterproof, and good in low light. These quality binoculars are a great buy for the money. I would highly recommend them.
