For what it is, I recommend it
(5 out of 5) by ME on Aug 19, 2009These binoculars are not the best in comparison to others that are more expensive. However, for the size, weight, waterproof, fogproof and function I recommend the Prostaff ATB ! I enjoy hiking in almost all weather conditions and that means that I must bring water and proper layer clothing in my small pack. I have enough weight to worry about and having heavy binoculars was not for me. I didn't want to sacrifice reliability just to have less weight, because I needed a waterproof binocular that wouldn't fill up with water during rain or snow. I love these binoculars- they are perfect for me and I don't feel their weight when I bring them; it fits in my cargo pant pockets!
When I traveled into other states, I brought them with me along with my camera. I attached the case to the camera bag and walked all over the city and parks without them getting in the way. Over one year later, so far I've not had a problem with the binocular itself except witht the lens cap. The lens cap is cheap, but that is all- the binoculars themselves are of good quality. I strongly recommend this paticular brand or model, if you're looking for something that is reliable and not highly expensive. For the price and function they work more than just fine, just take care of them.

Excellent value
(4 out of 5) by C. Cheney on Aug 16, 2009 (Franklin, NH)These binoculars are easy to use, light and small. If you wear glasses you have to take off your glasses to get a clear image. Everything else worked great.
Great waterproof binoculars
(5 out of 5) by Linda Day on Apr 20, 2009 (Texas)I'm not a binocular expert, but I'm very pleased with these binoculars. They are compact, relatively lightweight, bright clear images, adjustable eyepiece. Perfect for me -- I take them onboard my kayak for birdwatching.
Nikon ProStaff Binoculars
(4 out of 5) by AAN on Mar 7, 2009 (USA)Light weight though clear and powerful enough for my primary use, birding. The only drawback so far is the stiff, double lens cap. It is not connected to the binoculars, though can be clipped onto the neck strap when not in use. It tends to get in the way, and doesn't always stay attached whether covering the lenses or on the strap. This is a small annoyance for an otherwise great instrument at a great price.

Nikon Binoculars are FRAGILE
(2 out of 5) by Elias Clark on Sep 20, 2008 (United States)These are the most fragile binoculars I have ever owned. If you drop them two inches with the case on, they will need to go back for repairs. I swear this to be the truth. Two inches in the case, out of alignment, $22.50 for repair and shipping. If they are so fragile, they need to provide a better case!!!! I traded them in for the Nikon 8x42 Monarch ATB
