Nikon 10x42 Monarch ATB Binoculars

I absolutely love these binoculars! They are great for many things, but bird watching is my favorite. My husband on the other hand likes to borrow them on the weekends when he goes hunting. I like to pretend he is going to watch the deer, but we cannot all have our way.
The details you can see with these are amazing. They are a bit pricey but are well worth the money. If you have any relatives who enjoy bird watching this would be a prefect gift with Christmas coming and all. They are very comfortable on your face and they focus very easily. Of course they are not just good for bird watching, any view will do. My husband and I recently took a trip to Gatlinburg…we were at the top of the Smokies.
The view is amazing without the binoculars, but with them…amazing! Our kids love to use them as well. With any other pair of binoculars I would be nervous with them in my kids hands. These are extremely durable. I actually trust my clumsy 10 year old boy with them. I would prefer he not drop them, but I know if he does they can withstand it. I was actually on our back porch about 2 months ago watching birds and my little boy comes running out of the backdoor right into me.
I unfortunately dropped the binoculars. I thought it was all over at first, because our deck is about 12 feet up. My son ran down there for me to grab them. When I looked back through them still a perfect picture. I was surprised, there wasn’t even any scratches on the outside.
