A superb value
(5 out of 5) by Michael J Edelman on Jul 5, 2001 (Huntington Woods, MI USA)Short of a pair of Fujis costing twice as much, I can't think of a better choice for the outdoorsman or boater. I have a pair I've owned for about three years now that always accompany me in a boat.
There are a lot of binoculars advertised as "waterproof" that will fog up in a moderate downpour- including some cheaper units sold under the Tasco label. But these are the real deal. Complete waterproofing, individual eye focusing, and built-inprotective eyepiece and objective lens covers. Nothing to fall overseas or get lost in the lockers. You can also get a slightly pricier version with a built in compass.
They're sharp and contrasty- more so than most inexpensive binos- shock resistent, waterproof and small enough to be handy. A good value all around. Certainly the best choice in boating glass.

Fraudulent Item
(1 out of 5) by Ian on Nov 21, 2007 (Mystic, CT United States)The image posted is the Tasco Offshore 21 Marine Binocular. These are outstanding binoculars and I have had a pair for 4yrs.
I have a friend who is off on a sailing trip this week and so I ordered a pair here as a parting gift. They arrived yesterday and guess what??...The item shipped is an inferior unit.. the Tasco Offshore 19.. manual focussing and less sharp and bright. I have no time to have the item returned and the correct part delivered so I am decidedly unhappy.
If you read buried in the details of the item listing it says OS19 but pictured is the OS21 so i ask you... how do you spell FRAUD?

great value for price
(5 out of 5) by B. White on Sep 2, 2009I ordered 5 pairs of these binoculars and am very happy with the quality for the price. We are going on an Alaskan Cruise with our children aqnd grandchildren(age 11 and 8) and have been advised to bring along binoculars to use on the ship. These fit the bill. They seem sturdy and are fairly lightweight for small hands. The product arrived just as promised with no problems.
